Food inspires art at children's exhibition

HA NOI (VNS)— An exhibition of children's drawings will be on display at the Ha Noi Children's Palace until next Saturday.

The event, co-organised by the Embassy of Mexico and the palace, features 42 drawings of Mexican children living abroad and 42 Vietnamese children living in Ha Noi.

The Mexican drawings are part of a children's drawing contest titled This Is My Mexico organised by the Institute of Mexicans Abroad of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico. The contest involves thousands of Mexican children as well as children of Mexican origin living around the world.

The theme this year was Traditional Mexican Cuisine: Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Vietnamese children were invited to illustrate what Vietnamese food means to them. — VNS
