50 Years After the Vietnam War: A True West Program Initiative
Join us at the Riverside Courtyard on Tuesday 15 April for a special night of reflection about where we are now – 50 years after the end of the Vietnam War.
A civil war that altered the course of world history, the bloody conflict in Vietnam radicalised young people everywhere and irrevocably changed the lives of the Vietnamese and their futures.
In the post-White Australia era of the mid-70s, more than 100,000 people fleeing Vietnam were eventually resettled by the Australian Government. The communities founded by these refugees across the nation continue to evolve to this day.
Hosted by writer Sheila Ngoc Pham, the night will feature performances from across the generations including: live traditional Vietnamese music from Nostalgia, spoken word poetry, storytelling, and a panel discussion featuring poets Antoinette Luu and Annabella Luu, psychologist Chris Tran, and storyteller Thang Luong.
Doors open at 6pm for a 6:30pm start.
Join us afterward for a light supper and keep the conversation going.
