(...) It is no coincidence that UNESCO launched ResiliArt (Art of Resilience) campaign from April 2020, with the desire to call cultural, artistic, creative activities... into Covid−19 pandemic intervention. The past year has witnessed the resilience in visual arts of Vietnam, with many events held on wide scale and in great depths. Examples are Exhibitions of contemporary works by the top artists; Contemporary Art Week “No Cai Bum”; “GREEN Project”; Hanoi-Saigon Sculpture Exhibition 2020; CABCON 2020; Asian curatorial practice of contemporary art; art sale in support for the medical doctors at the front line against Covid−19; art sale in supportforvictimsofnaturaldisasters,buildinghousesforthepoorinCentral Vietnam... It seems that in the seven basic art fields, social distancing caused by Covid−19 cannot possibly hinder the creativity of literature and visual arts. Post-history, perhaps a few things are susceptible to infection, but would quickly become immaculate like creativity and art. By observation and personal recognition, despite some limitations and difficulties, Art Republik Vietnam has always followed the resilience and immaturity of the art.
