The Photographers in the North. Forty years ago, the Vietnam War came to an end. It had been a war with massive media coverage, with memorable photos by names such as Larry Burrows, Don McCullin, Philip Jones Griffiths, Gilles Caron, Horst Faas and Henri Huet, the photojournalists covering the war from the American side, the “photographers in the South”. Very little is known about the work of the men covering the war on the other side where B52 bombers were flying overhead, the Vietnamese soldiers who became photographers – the “photographers in the North”. Photographers Doan Càng Tinh, Chu Chi Thành and Hua Kiem are making the journey to Perpignan this year with the help of Patrick Chauvel. The exhibition has been organized with the support of Marie-Christine Blandin, President of the Culture Committee of the French Senate, and Patrick Bloche, President of the Committee on Cultural Affairs of the French National Assembly. Event organized as part of the France-Vietnam Year, Nam Viet Nam Phap, 2013-2014. Here: November 16, 1967.
