DOCLAB was established in 2009 and ever since has been showcasing documentaries, experimental films, and video art. Straying away from the conventional, DOCLAB focuses on promoting filmmakers as opposed to painters or sculptors. They regularly host screenings to feature experimental films, video art series, documentaries, and independent films. With larger audiences, artists often leave a dedicated time for Q&As. Local and international filmmakers can take part in seminars that they’re interested in, as well as events and workshops to improve or learn new skills.

Nha San Collective

Nha San Studio was the country’s first and longest-running artist-run space, founded by Tran Luong and Nguyen Manh Duc in 1998, and was known for nurturing Vietnam’s first crop of avant garde artists and promoting Hanoi’s experimental arts scene. The space was initially housed in Nguyen Manh Duc’s home, a Muong house built on wooden stilts. The studio had to be moved several times throughout the years, including a stint at the now-defunct Zone 9, which housed a dozen or so artistic endeavours, including galleries, shops and cafés, in a compound of colonial-era buildings and a former pharmaceutical factory. It was shut down in 2011. After its closure, the group existed in the form of mobile and guerrilla projects before finally forming Nha San Collective in 2013 and finding a new home in Ba Dinh.

Manzi Art Space

A Guide to the Art Galleries and Collectives of Hanoi - Manzi Art Space

Located in the center of Hanoi, Manzi has established itself as one of the most reputable galleries in the city, consistently showcasing daring talents and promising young artists and holding exhibits, workshops and performances that challenge stereotypes and perspectives. Manzi funds itself through two establishments: an exhibition space/artist’s residency and a café/shop that’s housed in a quaint colonial-era villa that serves coffee as good as the art that hangs on its walls. Both are located within walking distance of each other and neither should be missed.

Work Room Four

Established in 2013 by Claire Driscoll and Dorian Gibb, Work Room Four is a multidisciplinary art and design studio with a primary focus on creative collaboration. Apart from its work in design consultancy, it also manages a small gallery in a modest space in West Lake, Hanoi’s expat enclave. The group is also the brains behind Art For You, an annual collaboration with Manzi that provides affordable art to the public.

They also host regular exhibitions and their artwork can be purchased at the gallery itself or online.
