Imprisoned for Thirteen Years: Stories from a South Vietnamese Police Lieutenant

This exhibit examines the tensions inherent in traditional gender representations that refugees are often expected to adhere to, contrasting these expectations with their lived experiences. By examining material culture of ancient and modern refugees, we encourage you to consider how prescribed gender stereotypes influence the representations of displacement and asylum. At the same time, we challenge you to think beyond this binary and reflect upon the complex realities of refugeehood.
