Tuan Andrew Nguyen, creator of the time-based media work, The Island, is joined by musical and visual artist Thao Nguyen to discuss their experiences as Vietnamese Americans and how their work engages with the legacies of the Vietnam War and its aftermath. The title, The Island, refers to the tiny Malaysian island of Pulau Bidong, a primary destination for Vietnamese escaping by boat after the collapse of South Vietnam in 1975. This program is presented as part of a series of events to mark the 50th anniversary of the US exit from South Vietnam.
