ARTASIAPACIFIC Issue 130
Sep/Oct 2022
Are there alternatives to fighting power with power? The simultaneously whimsical and disturbing images of our cover artist, Thao Nguyen Phan, suggest that there are. While Phan’s multimedia projects revisit dark chapters in Vietnam’s history—such as the romanization of the Vietnamese script, which razed a pillar of cultural identity, as well as the deadly famine during Japan’s occupation in 1945—she takes full artistic license to incorporate alternative accounts of these events. “I think folklores, oral histories, or just narratives in everyday life contain a higher level of truth. Even though they are full of fantasies, these are narratives in the collective consciousness of generations of people, unlike official histories, which are often written by a select few,” she tells associate editor Pamela Wong.
