THY PHU Warring Images: Vietnam Pictorial and the Colours of Socialist Futurity

The second program in our 2022 Sydney Asian Art Series, Troubling Images, coonvened by Olivier Krischer.

This presentation explores the construction of socialist ways of seeing in Vietnam, focusing on the communist illustrated magazine, Vietnam Pictorial, which deployed color images as a means to project visions of socialist futurity, conjuring forth revolutionary renovations at a moment when victory had yet to be assured.
