The museum’s “An-My Le: On Contested Terrain” exhibit  is the first comprehensive survey of the politically charged work of Vietnamese-American photographer An-My Lê. Tonight, she is interviewed by Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen.

Nguyen’s prize-winning debut novel The Sympathizer explores questions of identity, immigration and conflict, mirroring many of the themes present in Lê’s photography. This event is a unique chance to hear these two leading voices discuss their shared personal history (both fled Vietnam during the Vietnam War, eventually moving to the US with their families) and the thematic similarities in their work.
