The lingering effects of war transcend physical and geopolitical boundaries. Those who fled their homeland live a parallel life to those who remain on the war-torn land. Their sense of loss, suffering and eventual survival and transformation are an interconnected journey. Rooted in the power of history, healing and hope, Legacies of War was founded to connect the experiences of war and peace across communities, continents and generations.

The Legacies of War National Traveling Exhibition tells the story of a forgotten chapter in history through the voices of Laotian villagers and the diaspora at large.
