Houng and the Peace Mural Foundation

The Peace Mural is a 600 foot mural that connects concepts of war, peace, refugees, justice, torture, and displacement through the eyes of Huong, who in 1975 fled Vietnam with only one shoe and her baby son in arms. A former journalist in Vietnam at the time of the war, Huong swapped her pen for a brush in an effort to "paint out" the passions within her.
After coming to America, Huong launched an art career that has captured the attention of art audiences and critics internationally. Not unlike Picasso's war protest painting Guernica, Huong's paintings collectively form a body of work that address the global issues of war and peace. Through hundreds of painted canvases, the Peace Mural is a symbol of Huong's determination to pass peace forward and purge our culture from the ways of war.
