‘In a City’ is the title of an exhibition about the capital city of Hanoi, which opened on May 15.

Funded by the British Council in Vietnam, ‘In a City’ features a book, a multi-media exhibition and an e-book version.

For a three-month period from November 2008 to March 2009, six teams of writers and photographers each selected a physical space or community within Hanoi and set out - using words, photographs, video and sound – to tell the everyday stories of the people they encountered.

‘In a City’ is a collection of some of their passions, problems, relationships and routines, vocations and obsessions.

Running until May 21, the event is part of ‘Inclusive Cities’ - a two-year initiative within the British Council’s regional Creative Cities project that celebrates and gives a voice to communities living in East Asian cities, China, and the UK through performances, workshops and joint initiatives.
