What Remains/The Vietnam War and its Reckoning

What Remains/The Vietnam War and its Reckoning brings together work by intercultural artists who served during the Vietnam War. Using sculpture, painting, and repurposed materials, the exhibition considers how war, military service, and intersecting identities continue to shape artists’ lives and practices.

The exhibition is organized around moral injury, coloniality of space, and resilience. Together, the works ask what persists after violence and what can develop in its aftermath. The exhibition’s curatorial perspective is associated with Washington, DC-based artist Edwards, whose multidisciplinary practice includes pulp painting, oil, ink, printmaking, mixed media, and acrylics. Edwards has received a DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities Fellowship, exhibited nationally and internationally, and recently curated the George Mason University exhibition *Before the Americas*.
