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.
