(Cinet) – Project “Building and displaying in the vicinity of the Ho Dynasty Citadel through Photovoice method” has been carried out to record their daily lives, love of the local heritage and challenges in upholding the value of the site.
The project, starting from June, uses a method called Photovoice, through which locals to give cameras to capture their daily lives around the UNESCO-recognised heritage site.
Eight households residing in neighbouring Vinh Tien and Vinh Long communes will be equipped with cameras and photographic and filmmaking skills to express their own views.
This is part of the “Revitalising World Heritage Site Museums in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam” project of UNESCO and the Japan Funds-in-Trust. The Ho Dynasty Citadel was Vietnam’s capital under the Ho Dynasty (1398-1407).
Located in Vinh Tien and Vinh Long communes in Vinh Loc district, the citadel measures 870m by 883m and was built within only three months, between January and March 1397. It is the only citadel built entirely of stone in Vietnam and remained almost intact through the nation’s often turbulent history.
The project will conclude in December this year with exhibitions of their works.
