In Bao-Yen Nguyen's exhibition, she explores the effects of the Vietnam War through a socio-ethnic lens and how the country's past connects to the Americanized present. Having been born after the war, she never recognized the effect the war had on her life. Lacking perspective and understanding of the war and its impact on Vietnamese-American contemporary life, she uses photojournalism and art to stimulate dialogue between the two periods: past and present. Nguyen strives to portray a narrative that reflects the impact of the war through a combination of digital manipulation and a more traditional process.
