Event - In Imagined Worlds I (IIWI)

CafeDen 06/11/2020 Văn hóa nghệ thuật

The meaning of toys as we know it today being exclusively playthings for children was not commonly used until the nineteenth century. Back then, the word toy was used to describe anything from an adult bauble of little or no value to a very expensive miniature like a miniature carriage that had horses and servants.

When the carriage travelled the length of a table and stopped in front of the king a little doll got out and curtseyed, presented a petition, returned to the carriage, and drove off again. We organisers want to present Vietnamese audiences with a new concept of toys in a comprehensive sense: They are real shapes and movements, combinations of imagination and hands, or even fanciful dreams coming to life.

"In Imagined Worlds I - IIWI" is the first event in Hanoi for "Vietnamese Toymakers" - creative craft toy manufacturers from the North and the South. As you may not know, the word "toy" comes from an old English world meaning "tool". In that understanding, the making of toys is a combination of an artist's imagination and a craftsman's hands and eyes.

All the artworks displayed in "In Imagined Worlds I - IIWI are for sale but we only produce limited numbers, so first come first served. These artworks are completed after many hours of working by the handcraft artists from following brands: Lucid Dreams - Wooden Crafts, Tidu Workshop, DeClay Studio, Jopus, Vomao, Toyman, and The o room.

Come and join us to discover a new, healthy, and costly hobby at IIWI!
