LIBERATION RADIO är en utställning av ljudkonstnären Nhung Nguyen, konstnären och filmskaparen Esther Johnson, och författaren och programledaren Matthew Sweet.

1968 reste en grupp amerikanska militärdesertörer från Vietnamkriget till den nordvietnamesiska missionen i Stockholm med ett enda mål i åtanke – att gå med i den armé de hade blivit inkallade för att strida emot. Istället blev de en del av det så kallade propagandakriget och började spela in Second Front Radio, ett radioprogram som blandade popmusik och politisk retorik som skulle få andra amerikanska soldater att desertera. Deras inspelningar transporterades sedan från Sverige till Vietnam av svenska diplomater och sändes via den engelskspråkiga radiokanalen Liberation Radio (Đài phát thanh Giải phóng) från Hanoi och andra revolutionära baser på den vietnamesiska landsbygden. Utställningen på Index tar avstamp i ett tretton minuter långt videoverk som återger berättelsen om Second Front Radio och i samarbete med några av de överlevande amerikanska desertörerna, svenska antikrigsaktivister och vietnamesiska journalister från den tiden väcker verket Liberation Radio till liv igen. 


18:00: Kören Trots Allt framför sånger från fredsrörelsen

18:30: Initiativtagarna till utställningen Nhung Nguyen, Esther Johnson och Matthew Sweet berättar om sitt arbete

Please join us for the opening of LIBERATION RADIO!

LIBERATION RADIO is an exhibition conceived through the collaboration between sound artist Nhung Nguyen, artist and filmmaker Esther Johnson, and writer and broadcaster Matthew Sweet.

In 1968, a group of American military deserters from the Vietnam War went to the NLF Groups (De förenade FNL-grupperna) in Stockholm with the sole purpose of joining the army they had been drafted to fight against. Instead, they were recruited for the so-called propaganda war and started recording Second Front Radio, a radio program where they blended pop music and political rhetoric to persuade other American soldiers to desert. Their recordings were then transported from Sweden to Vietnam by Swedish diplomats, and broadcast on the English language radio station Liberation Radio from transmitters on the rooftops of Hanoi, and other revolutionary bases in the Vietnamese countryside. The exhibition at Index centers around a new video work which revives that circuit of communication, and with contributions from some of the surviving American deserters, Swedish anti-war activists and Vietnamese journalists of the period, the voice of Liberation Radio speaks again.


18:00: The choir Kören Trots Allt will be performing a selection of songs stemming from the Swedish anti-war movement.

18:30: There will be a talk between directors of Index and Nhung Nguyen, Esther Johnson and Matthew Sweet.
