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:Concert: The Odyssey–from Vietnam to America
DESCRIPTION:Cantor Art Gallery\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Concert: The Odyssey–from Vietnam to America\n			\n				Reseve Tickets\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nMarking the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War\, The Odyssey–from Vietnam to America explores the personal and spiritual journeys of the Vietnamese refugees known as “Boat People.” \nThe Odyssey musically contextualizes them in larger terms of human struggle for survival in the face of conflict and political upheaval. The work\, created by composer-performer Vân-Ánh Vanessa Võ in partnership with Yerba Buena Center for Performing Arts (YBCA)\, Creative Work Fund (CWF)\, and Asia Society Texas Center (ASTC)\, combines Vietnamese instruments\, electronic sounds and Western instruments. Vietnamese folk songs\, especially lullabies\, are a key compositional element. \nVân-Ánh Vanessa Võ and the Blood Moon Orchestra perform with the Arneis Quartet in a special performance at the College of the Holy Cross. \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				November 4\, 20257:30 p.m. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Price\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Free entry\, registration required. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Venue\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nLuth Concert HallPrior Performing Arts Center
