Ha Dao is a photographer and artist based in Hanoi, Vietnam. Drawn by the quiet drama in everyday life, she started out making images that take an imaginative approach to the documentary genre, often through the lens of gender and sexuality. Her current practice incorporates moving image and installation.
Her works have been showcased at Manzi Art Space (Vietnam), Xie Zilong Museum (China), Angkor Photo Festival (Cambodia) and Objectifs Centre of Photography & Film (Singapore), and featured in the British Journal of Photography, Photoworks, Trans Asia Photography Journal, among others. She was granted the Seed Award by the Prince Claus Fund and the 38th Higashikawa Award in the Overseas photographer category in 2022. Ha co-runs Matca, an independent initiative dedicated to opening conversations around photography in Vietnam since 2017.
