It was during a visit to Duong O, a village 40km northeast of Hanoi where Dó paper-making orignated, that Nhung’s concerns about the state of the craft were first raised. She found just three families of paper-makers left, struggling to make ends meet due to the village’s rapid urbanisation. This inspired her to start Zo Project to protect the art by infusing it with modern touches that appeal to the younger generation like herself. She has since travelled around the region to promote the rebirth of Dó and learn about different paper-making techniques.
