Abstract:
Art in the Camps was an art programme for Vietnamese boatpeople in detention centres. The experiences, artworks and archive left behind have inspired three different academic studies from the perspectives of Anthropology, Art and Trauma, and Socially-Engaged Art. The three writers of the studies will gather to share their perspectives and findings, and provide audiences with a fuller understanding of what it was, and what we can learn from it.
