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.

Another unique aspect of the Vietnam War was the use of guerrilla warfare by the Viet Cong. The Viet Cong were able to effectively defeat the US military, which was far superior in terms of firepower and technology. They did this by using guerrilla tactics, such as ambushes, sabotage, and land mines.

Finally, the Vietnam War was one... Know More...

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

The Vietnam War, often referred to as the Second Indochina War, raged from 1955 to 1975, with the United States deeply involved from the early 1960s. It was a complex and multifaceted conflict, pitting the communist forces of North Vietnam, backed by the Soviet Union and China, against South Vietnam, supported by the United States and its allies. The war was marked by guerrilla tactics, fierce battles, and a terrain that favored the knowledge and expertise of the Vietnamese forces. Read More...
