The public is invited to experience this extraordinary
“artobiography” of the Vietnamese artist Huong.
Lets Think Peace is a 600 foot mural that connects
concepts of war, peace, refugees, justice, torture, and
displacement through the eyes of Huong, who in 1975
fled Vietnam with only one shoe and her baby son in
arms. A former journalist in Vietnam at the time of the
war, Huong swapped her pen for a brush in an effort to
"paint out" the passions within her. After coming to
America, Huong launched an art career that has
captured the attention of art audiences and critics
internationally.
Not unlike Picasso’s own war protest painting
Guernica, Huong’s paintings collectively form a body of
work that address the global issues of war and peace.
Through hundreds of painted canvases, the Peace
Mural is a symbol of Huong's determination to pass
peace forward and purge our culture from the ways of
war. Huong's Peace Opus is the culmination of 30
years of searing memories that brings history to life
and depictsthe universal pain of war and hope for
peace.
This spectacular and timely exhibit is both evocative
and provocative and carries the power to echo for
years to come. This is a "must see" for all who are
committed to building a better world for our children
and their children.
