Southeast Asia Crossroads: Lenin’s Shadow in Hanoi and Other Responses to Monuments by Contemporary Vietnamese Artists in the Age of Decoloniality
In this episode of Southeast Asia Crossroads, Dr. Nora Taylor, Professor of South and Southeast Asian Art History at the Art Institute of Chicago, discusses Vietnam’s Cold War connections with the Soviet art world. She cites examples of how Soviet-educated Vietnamese artists used what they learned to create art that was critical of colonialism and was reflective of the emergent nationalist landscape.
