To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War this year, artist Linh My Truong presents Threads of Passage: From Vietnam to America, an interactive art exhibition exploring the Vietnamese American refugee experience and its enduring legacy across generations. Through textile, video, and interactive technology, the exhibition invites viewers to engage with stories of escape, survival, and the ongoing navigation of diasporic and multicultural identity. The show features artist Linh My Truong’s own family story alongside submissions from Vietnamese Americans across the country. These stories unfold through touch-activated works that mirror the fragmented, emotional nature of memory—inviting deep reflection and participation. Exhibition will be on view until May 18.
