Colours of Exile by Clément Baloup

About

Explore the emotional landscape of exile through the drawings of French-Vietnamese artist Clément Baloup, taken from his acclaimed graphic novel series Mémoires de Viet Kieu. This exhibition brings together powerful testimonies of the Vietnamese diaspora—stories of loss, identity, memory, and resilience—told through vibrant visuals, personal voices, and the quiet poetry of food, colour, and everyday life. Divided into three immersive sections—Words, Food, and Shapes & Colours—the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on how people uprooted by war and history reconnect with their homeland through language, cuisine, and emotion. At once intimate and universal, Colours of Exile gives form to memories often left unspoken.
