Cantor Art Gallery

The Vietnamese Áo Dài in a Time of War explores the significance of Vietnam’s national costume—the áo dài—during the Vietnam War. Honoring 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.

A panel discussion about the role of Vietnam’s national costume—the áo dài—in individual and national expression across Vietnam and the Vietnamese diaspora. With co-curators Prof. Ann Marie Leshkowich, Prof. Martina Thucnhi Nguyen (Baruch College), and Prof. Tuong Vu (University of Oregon), along with fashion designers Si Hoang and Thai Nguyen.

Join us for the Opening Reception for current exhibition The Vietnamese Áo Dài in a Time of War at the Cantor Art Gallery, featuring Vietnamese appetizers and a cash bar.
