On Contested Terrain
The work of An-My Lê is included in many major museum collections, but this is the first survey of her photography to be shown in an American institution. Born in Saigon in the midst of the Vietnam War, she fled the country with her family as part of the U.S. military evacuations. The artist has spent some 25 years exploring American history and warfare, from what happened in her native land to present-day issues such as the removal of Confederate statues. She eschews news-driven images in favor of a subtler approach and looks closely at how history is tied to power and the people involved. April 18-Aug. 8
