‘Liberation Radio\u2019 and the war in Vietnam<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In this session Professor Esther Johnson will discuss the research ‘L<\/strong>iberation Radio\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, an immersive audio-visual installation offering a perspective of the war in Vietnam (the ‘American War’) that is seldom heard. In 1968, a group of American military deserters went to the North Vietnamese mission in Stockholm with one object in mind \u2013 to join the army they had been drafted to fight. Instead, they were recruited for the propaganda war \u2013 and used magnetic tape, pop music and political rhetoric to persuade other American servicemen to desert. Their recordings were transported from Sweden to Vietnam by diplomatic bag, and broadcast from transmitters on the rooftops of Hanoi, and revolutionary bases in the countryside.<\/p>\n

In order to revive the circuit of communication that Liberation Radio once inspired, Esther Johnson collaborated with Hanoi-based sound artist Nhung Nguy\u1ec5n, and historian and BBC broadcaster Matthew Sweet to create an interdisciplinary audio-visual installation playing homage to this forgotten story. The work repositions public domain archive film, with a script and soundscape integrating oral testimonies from Vincent Strollo, a US military deserter and antiwar activist from Philadelphia who left his base in Germany and sought humanitarian asylum in Sweden, where he still resides; and Hang Nguy\u1ec5n, a ‘Liberation Radio’ journalist and announcer in Hanoi between 1972 until it was disbanded in 1976.<\/p>\n
