“It will also give a chance to the Vietnamese photographers to gain experience and strengthen cooperation and exchange with their foreign counterparts. PSA is a strong association with members living in 50 states of the United States and in 60 countries and territories around the world,” he added.
PSA representative Agatha Bunanta said she appreciated the idea of organising the exhibition and expressed the willingness to enhance cooperation between PSA and VAPA.
“PSA was founded in 1934 with the aim to promote artworks for educative purposes,” she said.

“To prepare for the exhibition in Viet Nam, we asked the members to select their favourite photo. A council then selected the best photos in various genres for display. We hope these photos of people and places in the world will give visitors a new perspective in life,” Bunanta said.
The exhibition will be open to the public until June 17 at the VAPA Building, No 3 Ton That Thuyet Street, Ha Noi.
It will be held in HCM City from July 21 to August 5. — VNS
