Mangrove Theatre: The Wartime Photography of Võ An Khánh
24 June – 21 September 2025
Opening Reception: Tuesday 24th June, 6-8.30pm
“Mangrove Theatre presents the first European monographic exhibition of the work of Võ An Khánh (1936–2023, Vietnam), who is best known for his striking black and white photographs of the American-Vietnam War during the 1960s and early 1970s, and their testament to human resilience. Throughout the Vietnam War, which this year marks the 50th anniversary of the end of the War and the reunification of the country, Võ documented the hidden lives of communist guerrilla fighters and their communities living throughout the country’s mangrove forests, portraying the front line of the Vietnamese resistance against the US in the Ca Mau region. Between the years 1962 and 1975, Võ staged a photographic exhibition in the exceptionally challenging condition of mangrove forests and developed his negatives in the field, storing them in ammunition boxes with rice to absorb moisture.”
