SUMMARY:The Vietnamese Áo Dài in a Time of War: Fashion\, Citizenship\, and Nationalism (1954–1975)
DESCRIPTION:Cantor Art Gallery\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				The Vietnamese Áo Dài in a Time of War\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Fashion\, Citizenship\, and Nationalism (1954–1975)\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nThe Vietnamese Áo Dài in a Time of War explores the significance of Vietnam’s national costume—the áo dài—during the Vietnam War.  \nHonoring the 50th anniversary of a conflict\, the legacies of which continue to haunt us to this day\, the exhibition highlights the contributions of Vietnamese women to politics\, society\, and culture. Artifacts trace the history of the áo dài as a practical item of clothing and important symbol of Vietnamese heritage and identity in Vietnam\, among Vietnamese Americans\, and on the global stage—thus showing how a national costume can be both traditional and modern fashion with meanings that change over time and space.  \nCo-curated by Professors Ann Marie Leshkowich (Anthropology\, College of the Holy Cross)\, Martina Nguyen (History\, Baruch College\, City University of New York)\, and Tuong Vu (Political Science\, University of Oregon). \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Exhibition Events\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nPanel: Fashion\, Politics\, and Cultural Identity: The Vietnamese Áo DàiThursday\, September 11 | 4:30 p.m.Rehm Library (Smith Hall) \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nOpening Reception: The Vietnamese Áo Dài in a Time of WarThursday\, September 11 | 6 p.m.Cantor Art Gallery \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nFilm Screening: Journey from the FallFriday\, September 12 | 5 p.m.Rehm Library (Smith Hall) \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nLiving Threads: Community\, Culture and the Áo DàiThursday\, October 23 | 4 p.m.The Beehive at The Prior \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nConcert: The Odyssey–from Vietnam to AmericaTuesday\, November 4 | 7:30 p.m.Luth Concert Hall in The Prior \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nWorkshop: The Politics of National Costume in AsiaFriday & Saturday\, November 7 & 8Rehm Library (Smith Hall) \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Details\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				August 26-December 19\, 2025 \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Price\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Free Entry \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Venue\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nIris & B.

SUMMARY:Somos Worcester Somos Americanos: Connecting Worcester's Latino History to the National Story
DESCRIPTION:Somos Worcester Somos Americanos: Connecting Worcester's Latino History to the National Story\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dr. Tey Marianna Nunn of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino\n			\n				Reserve Tickets\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nDoors Open 5:30 p.m.Program begins 6 p.m. \nAbout The Latino History Project of Worcester\nEstablished in 2014\, the Latino History Project of Worcester (LHPW) is a multi-year initiative that documents the Latino experience in Worcester\, including the untold history of Latino individuals\, institutions\, cultures\, economy\, and daily life. Its mission to collect\, share\, and celebrate the Latino experience in Worcester drives a community-centered effort to demonstrate the central role that Latinos played in Worcester and the nation’s larger history. \nThe LHPW’s growing collection of recorded oral history interviews\, photographs\, artifacts\, and written sources will benefit future researchers\, Worcester community members\, and students of all ages. For over a decade\, the project has hosted community events to examine a wide range of topics\, from the fights for bilingual education\, fair housing\, and police reform\, to the role of religion and spirituality in the lives of the Latino community. The project opened its first major exhibit at the Museum of Worcester in 2024. Digital exhibits\, archives\, and a print catalog documenting Worcester’s Latino history will soon follow. \nThis year’s main event to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month will feature a discussion of the project and the larger effort to move Latino stories from the margins to the center of American history. \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nAbout The Guest Speaker\nWe are honored to host Dr. Tey Marianna Nunn as guest speaker.
