I n Vietnam, artistic engagements with the past are deeply shaped by historie s of colonialism, war, socialism, and rapid social transformation.\nTaking Vietnam as its primary focus, this panel brings together case studies on Vi etnamese art practices to examine how contemporary artists mobilize archive s, historical materials, and memory as dynamic processes rather than fixed records of the past. The panel explores how art in Vietnam negotiates the r elationship between personal memory and collective history, particularly in post-conflict and post-socialist contexts.\nWhile grounded in Vietnam-base d studies, the panel situates these practices within broader Southeast Asia n contexts of history and memory, without requiring direct comparative anal ysis. By foregrounding Vietnam as an analytical anchor, the panel seeks to contribute to interdisciplinary discussions on art, memory, and the archive , and to reflect on how localized artistic practices can illuminate wider r egional concerns.\nPossible topics include, but are not limited to:\n\n- Ar tistic engagements with memory, history, and the archive in Vietnam;\n- The use of archives and found materials in contemporary Vietnamese art;\n- Art as a site of remembering and forgetting in post-conflict contexts;\n- Cont extual reflections that place Vietnamese case studies within broader Southe ast Asian frameworks.Contextual reflections that place Vietnamese case stud ies within broader Southeast Asian frameworks.\nWith Vietnam as its primary focus, the panel situates Vietnamese art practices within broader Southeas t Asian contexts of history and memory.
