"Unveiling the Vietnam War's Profound Influence on an Artist's Life"

The New Museum in New York is hosting an exhibition titled "Radiant Remembrance" that explores the legacy of the Vietnam War through the films and sculptures of artist Tuan Andrew Nguyen. The exhibition delves into narratives of forgotten or lost history, using various forms of art to tell stories that challenge dominant narratives. Nguyen's work focuses on memory, storytelling as political resistance, and the ongoing impact of war. His own experiences as a Vietnamese-born, American-raised artist heavily influence his art, which aims to heal and transform destructive objects into sources of healing. The exhibition runs until September 17.
