An art project called Vietnam-Germany Graffiti will be carried out at the office of the German Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City on Aug 10.

Fifteen students from the Ho Chi Minh City University of Fine Arts, divided into two groups, will use graffiti as a tool to decorate the walls of a building of the consulate from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Under a "Germany meets Vietnam" theme, the project, sponsored by the consulate’s Culture Fund, aims to create a playground for the local students and to promote graffiti as a genuine form of art.

The German Consulate General is located at 126 Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street.
