Ha Dao (1995) grew up on the outskirts of Hanoi, Vietnam. Drawn by the quiet drama in everyday life, her photographic works take an imaginative approach to documentary and are built upon close observations mixed with loose associations, often through the lens of gender and sexuality. Her works have been exhibited at Higashikawa Bunka Gallery (Japan), Manzi Art Space (Vietnam), Xie Zilong Museum (China) and Objectifs Centre of Photography & Film (Singapore), and featured in the British Journal of Photography, Photoworks, Trans Asia Photography Asia, among others. She is the recipient of the 38th Higashikawa Award in the Overseas Photographer category and the Seed Award from the Prince Claus Foundation. Since 2017, Ha has been serving as the managing editor and program coordinator at Matca, an independent initiative dedicated to opening conversations around photography in Vietnam.
