Naeem Mohaiemen in conversation with Sarah Le Quang Sang and Benjamin Tran
About this event
Through a Mirror, Darkly explores history, memory and overlooked stories. Through film, photography and printmaking, Mohaiemen examines why some political events are remembered while others are forgotten, focusing on the 1970 student protest shootings in the United States, political movements in Bangladesh, the Vietnam war and connections between local and global histories. Naeem, Sarah and Benjamin will, among other topics, discuss how the Vietnam War is remembered across the Vietnamese diaspora and within Vietnam, considering questions of identity, authenticity, and the role of artists in shaping historical narratives. Drawing on dispersed archives, including the An-Viet Hackney archive, and connections between Vietnam, France, and Algeria, the discussion will examine how alternative histories emerge beyond dominant American perspectives. Naeem Mohaiemen was born in London, UK, grew up in Dhaka, Bangladesh and currently lives and works in New York, USA. He combines film installations, photographic collages, and drawing-based prints to research the forever yearning for left utopias against silos of race and religion, and the family unit as container for the many modernist projects
