Little Hanoi, Next Generation

*Little Hanoi, Next Generation* is a photographic exhibition presenting more than 70 portraits of second-generation Vietnamese growing up in the Czech Republic. The project captures their personal stories, professional paths, and the experience of living between two cultural environments – Czech and Vietnamese. The portraits were taken by photographers Štěpánka Stein and Vendy Mlejnská. The biographical profiles were written by Thuy Duong Nguyen Trinh.

The exhibition loosely follows the original *Little Hanoi* series from 2008, which was presented at Mánes Exhibition Hall in Prague. The new project develops this theme through the perspective of a generation that has grown up in the Czech Republic and is actively shaping its cultural and social landscape.

The accompanying program includes:

- June 19 – Meet Up with a panel discussion focused on intergenerational relationships, identity, and the experience of Vietnamese people in the Czech Republic, featuring speakers from the 1st, 1.5, and 2nd generations

- June 24 – *Story Night,* an evening of personal stories shared by selected personalities featured in the exhibition

- July 2 – interactive theatre performances *U Nguyenů* and *Strejda Nguyen na návštěvě,* offering a humorous insight into everyday life in a Vietnamese family and cultural differences in the Czech context

Opening hours:

Mon–Fri: 13:00–20:00

Sat–Sun: 11:00–18:00

The exhibition is held under the patronage of Miloš Vystrčil, President of the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, and H.E. Duong Hoai Nam, Ambassador of Vietnam to the Czech Republic. ČSOB is the general partner of the project.
