SUMMARY:SPIRES — Cathedrals of Vietnam's Red River Delta
DESCRIPTION:Join Vietnam Society\, World Oregon\, OVEEVA\, and PLACE for a special photo exhibition and artist talk with celebrity artist photographer Peter Steinhauer! Registration is not required for both the exhibition and artist talk. \n  \n\nArtist Reception and Talk\n📅 Date: April 17th \n⏰ Time: Reception\, 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM; Talk\, 6:00 PM \n📍 Location: PLACE\, 735 NW 18th Avenue\, Portland OR 97209 \nAccompanying the talk is a special photographic exhibition “Spires — Cathedrals of Vietnam’s Red River Delta”\, a selection of Peter Steinhauer’s latest project which captures majestic cathedrals built during the French colonial period of the 19th and early 20th centuries. These edifices were not merely architectural imports\, but adaptations blending French Gothic and Romanesque styles with Vietnamese design sensibilities. Each photograph invites you to a space where spirituality meets artistry. Regrettably\, many of these architectural marvels now face neglect\, deterioration\, or intentional dismantlement. Their fading presence erases unique chapters of architectural brilliance\, diminishing visual testimonies of a bygone era of cultural amalgamation. Through this project\, Steinhauer seeks to immortalize their elegance\, narrating the profound stories embedded in their sacred silhouettes before they blend into the annals of history. \nThis exhibition will be on display from April 5th – 25th\, Monday to Friday from 10 AM to 5 PM. \n🖼️ Preview the exhibition here: SPIRES — Cathedrals of Vietnam’s Red River Delta \n\n\nAbout the Artist\nPeter Steinhauer  \nPeter Steinhauer is an artist photographer\, and he lived and worked in Asia for twenty years\, beginning in Vietnam in 1993.
