"Empowering children with autism through the transformative power of art"
Hanoi, Vietnam
Colorful Connection Neurodivergent exhibition - Recap
July 15, 2025
"May the connections we made today continue to ripple outward – so that art is not only a reflection of beauty, but also a voice of understanding, unity, and hope."
Văn Thuỵ Uyên Trang, Founder, Chairwoman & Head Organizer
On July 9th, 2025, nestled in the heart of Hanoi, our Colorful Connection Neurodivergent Art Exhibition came to life at AQUA ART, a space that, for one unforgettable day, transformed into a radiant haven of color, empathy, and possibility.
Guests from near and far gathered not just to witness art, but to feel it. To immerse themselves in stories told through strokes and shades. To let their hearts be moved by the voices of young artists on the autism spectrum who have, for too long, been spoken about rather than heard.
“COLORFUL CONNECTION” was born from a simple yet powerful belief:
You can be more than what you were made for.
That each of us, regardless of how the world labels or limits us, holds within ourselves an extraordinary potential that deserves to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
Each artwork in the exhibition was not only a burst of creativity, but also a deeply personal expression of inner worlds — of dreams, challenges, joy, pain, and hope. Behind every canvas was a voice that finally had the space to speak. Behind every color was a soul that wanted to be understood.
And true to its name, Connection was at the very heart of everything.
This exhibition was a bridge between people and emotions, between the seen and the unseen, between the vibrant inner lives of neurodivergent youth and the wider community that now gets the chance to witness them in their full beauty.
Here, we didn’t just look at art.
We looked into someone’s world, and chose to listen.
And in doing so, we came a little closer to a society that is inclusive, just, and deeply compassionate.
With deepest gratitude, I extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every member of the Executive Board, many of whom worked quietly and tirelessly from afar. Though we may have been separated by distance, your unwavering support, careful planning, and boundless care have been the invisible scaffolding behind every moment of this event. This exhibition would not have existed without you. YOU are the reason it bloomed at all.
A special and sincere thank you to our loving partner, Chinchilla – Spread Love, Save Paws, for bringing an extra layer of warmth and purpose to this event. Through your adorable bracelets and keyrings, not only did you bring joy to visitors, but also helped us raise funds for food and medicine for rescued animals. We encourage everyone to visit Chinchilla at Cafe chó mèo – Sân Nhà Nhiều Chó, Linh Đàm, Hà Nội and continue supporting their beautiful mission.
