Hope Box has done some lovely work. I hope you and others capture the work out at Tay Ho. Would love to see it. And I'd love to hear thoughts on why the graffiti scene is so small in Hanoi, too -- particularly when the art scene in general is so amazing. Is it cultural? Do they fear the government? Something else? Thanks for the details, Brian! Hope Box has done some lovely work.

They brought a group in from Holland called Hope Box (http://www.hopebox.nl) who do interesting projects all over the world. there is more info about the Hanoi events on my blog here: (http://hanoigrapevine.wordpress.com/2007/11/03/03-05-nov-hope-box-angels-family-event) and here: (http://hanoigrapevine.wordpress.com/2007/10/28/31-oct-hope-box-event-music-jam-8-11pm) (the blog has since moved to Http://hanoigrapevine.com) i don't know exactly who the artists involved were, but i think there were no (or at best very few) locals. There are a couple of sprayers in town, and you can see a bit of what they (and a few foreign kids who live here) do on a stretch of unfinished road going around Tay Ho (West Lake). but that road will be finished soon. other than that there is not much graffiti that i know of here. cheers b This graffiti was done during an event sponsored by the Dutch Embassy in Hanoi.
