From Vietnamese Craft Villages to Global Brands | Huu Minh Dang | TEDxSaigon Studio

Описание: "Can culture be more than a museum exhibit?
Can it be the bridge that connects Vietnam to the global heart?" - Đặng Hữu Minh

For Hữu Minh, culture isn't a static relic of the past; it is a living, breathing dialogue. His journey at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Culture wasn’t just spent in classrooms, but in the muddy lanes of Bát Tràng, the quiet temples of Huế, and the rhythmic workshops of Đồng Kỵ. Through these journeys, he discovered that every ceramic glaze and woven thread is a sacred fragment of a nation’s soul.

Minh once dreamed of the dazzle of stage lights, but he eventually found a more profound stage: the intersection of people and their history. He realized that the most powerful art isn't found in a performance, but in the sincerity of a story told well. This epiphany transformed his mission from seeking the spotlight to becoming a devoted narrator of cultural tourism.

At TEDxSaigon Studio 2025, Đặng Hữu Minh offers a refreshing perspective on the power of heritage. He challenges us to see culture not as something we protect, but as something we live—reminding us that when we speak our truth with sincerity, the entire world stops to listen.

Driven by this love, he has actively immersed himself in cultural field trips to places like Bát Tràng, La Khê, Huế, and Đồng Kỵ. These journeys have shaped his perspective, showing him that every cultural detail, no matter how small, is a vivid fragment of history — a sacred thread woven into the enduring soul of the nation.
Once dreaming of standing under dazzling stage lights, Minh eventually realized that art does not exist only on grand stages. It is present in the rhythm of daily life, where culture and people meet. That realization shaped his mission: to tell Vietnam’s story with the heart of someone devoted to cultural tourism.
At TEDxSaigon Studio 2025, Đặng Hữu Minh will offer a refreshing perspective on the power of heritage — reminding us that when we tell cultural stories with sincerity, the world listens with love and admiration.
