This catalogue accompanies the exhibition under the same title which was held from April to June 2009 at Casula Powerhouse (Casula - Australia) and the associated conference entitled 'Echoes of War'.

The exhibition explores the aftermath of the Vietnam war from a generational and international perspective. Twenty five artists who come from two generations and several continents participate in the exhibition. It creates a space for healing and reconciliation and as the curator Boitran Huynh-Beattle says, 'It provides a forum for the voices of those who were directly involved in that war, those who carry the post-war legacies, and also by those who speak out for those who could not speak, or are not allowed to speak.'

List of exhibition works, conference papers, as well as artists' and writers' biographies are provided in this publication. Please note that only the names of Asian artists are listed below. Other participating artists include Bruce Barber, Ray Beattie, Matthew Cheyne, Peter F. Daly, Francis Edwards, Terry Eichler, Shaun Gladwell, Nigel Helyer, Kelly Manning, Nerine Martini, Pam Scott, William Short, Peter Stephenson, Dennis Trew and Trevor Woodward.
