I remember Vietnam
Vietnam inspires with the ancient beauty of the country side and the bustling culture of Hanoi. It offers craft workshops from local artisans and delicious cuisine.
However, I also remember the TV reports with caskets of young men being unloaded from airplanes, the images of burning villages and Vietnamese people running with flames attached to their bodies, the discovery of the poison agent orange. I remember the art of Martha Rosler, Nancy Spero and Leon Kolub and the writing of Susan Sontag exposing the horror of the war. I remember the dark feeling that suffocated the United States during those years, the endless protests and the war that seemed like it would never end.
