OAKLAND EXHIBIT–Through contemporary art and writings, traveling exhibit “Textures of Remembrance: Vietnamese Artists and Writers Reflect on the Vietnamese Diaspora” explores a date that impacts many Vietnamese Americans: April 30, 1975, the end of the Vietnam War. Featuring works by 25 Vietnamese artists and writers, “Textures of Remembrance” presents an intimate perspective of this diasporic experience. The creative pieces showcased here – curated by the Diasporic Vietnamese Artists Network – reveal personal struggles and memories, demonstrating the continued effects of the Vietnam War on identity, sense of family and community, and representation. Importantly, this exhibition shares works made within and for the Vietnamese diasporic community to humanize the refugee experience from the inside-out.
