April 2000 marked the 25th anniversary of the fall of Indochina and the end
of its war with America, inspiring this exhibition of works by artists with
connections to Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia. Indochina: The Art of War
addresses the relationships between the East and West, history, personal and
institutional memories, and the complexities of experience and the place of
culture in our lives. Working primarily in photography, these artists aim
to remember and understand, and to make us aware of what took place during
the war and its aftermath.

ways.
