Rest in Power, Dinh Q. Lê.

Last month, the art world lost one of the most prominent Asian American artists of our time. Dinh Q. Lê (1968-2024) was a Vietnamese American artist known for his large woven photo collages. Lê was born in Ha Tien, Vietnam, near the Cambodian border. As a child, he learned to weave from an aunt who used the weaving technique to make grass mats. In his work, Lê used strips of photographs to make tapestry-like pieces that wove together images of Vietnam’s history with depictions of Vietnam in Western media and Hollywood films such as “Apocalypse Now.”  Lê also worked in film and installation.

Growing up in Vietnam near the Cambodia border, Lê had traumatic memories of the Khmer Rouge Invasion. He and his family fled Vietnam in 1978 by boat, first spending a year in Thailand, then moving to the United States. Lê studied photography at UC Santa Barbara and went on to earn an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Lê eventually became a U.S. citizen, but never felt at home in the United States. He frequented Vietnam in the 1990s and eventually made his permanent home in Ho Chi Minh City.

"Each has won a glorious grave - not that sepulchre of earth wherein they lie, but the living tomb of everlasting remembrance wherein their glory is enshrined. For the whole earth is the sepulchre of heroes. Monuments may rise and tablets be set up to them in their own land, but on far-off shores there is an abiding memorial that no pen or chisel has traced; it is graven not on stone or brass, but on the living hearts of humanity. Take these men for your example. Like them, remember that prosperity can be only for the free, that freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it." - Pericles

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

The unknown history of the Vietnam War: American forces lost because of the terrible traps! Brutal all barbarism.

One of the most unique aspects of the war was the role of women. Women played a vital role in the Viet Cong, serving as soldiers, spies, and nurses. They also played a key role in the anti-war movement in the United States.

The Viet Cong were able to effectively defeat the US military, which was far superior in terms of firepower and technology.

📝✨ Oriana Fallaci: La Buscadora de la Verdad en el Caos de Vietnam ✨📝

En los años más oscuros de la guerra de Vietnam, una mujer se adentró en la selva, con el ruido ensordecedor de helicópteros y explosiones resonando a su alrededor. Esa mujer fue Oriana Fallaci. 🌿💥

Fallaci no fue solo una periodista; fue una voz valiente que cuestionó lo incuestionable, revelando el dolor de los soldados, el miedo de los civiles y la contradicción humana en medio del conflicto. Sus crónicas, cargadas de verdad y humanidad, sacaron a la luz la tragedia que otros intentaban ocultar. Fue una buscadora de respuestas en medio del caos. ✍️🔥

Hoy, su legado como corresponsal de guerra nos recuerda que el periodismo tiene el poder de desafiar las versiones oficiales y darle voz a los que no pueden ser escuchados. Oriana hizo justo eso, y por ello su nombre sigue resonando como símbolo de coraje. 💬✨
