Vietnam is set to debut at the 2026 Venice Biennale with an exhibition titled 'Vietnam: Art in a Global Flow', running from May 9 to November 22.

The exhibition, curated by Do Tuong Linh, features works by artists such as Thanh Chuong, Trinh Tuan, Cong Kim Hoa, Bui Huu Hung, Doan Thi Thu Huong, and Le Huu Hieu. Lacquer is presented not only as a material but as a living artistic language shaped by time, labor, and transformation.

Vietnam's participation in the Biennale marks a significant milestone, affirming the presence of Vietnamese art at one of the world's most prestigious contemporary art forums.
