40 black and white photographs by renowned photographer Sean Sutton, alongside installation artworks depicting mine clearance and unexploded ordnance removal activities conducted by Mine Advisory Group (MAG) since 1999, will be showcased in a special exhibition titled Impact for Peace from October 6 – 16, 2025, at Maison des Arts (31A Van Mieu, Hanoi).
This exhibition aims to offer a comprehensive perspective on the positive outcomes of MAG's mine clearance efforts in Vietnam, while also raising awareness about the ongoing dangers posed by explosive remnants. It serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by communities living in former conflict zones, 50 years after the war concluded.
The desire for “Peace” embodied in each photograph will resonate with visitors, promoting a vision of a world free from the threats posed by landmines. Attendees will come to understand that the impact of war extends far beyond the battlefield, as the consequences continue to affect lives long after the conflict has ended.
Sean Sutton, once a photojournalist, has documented the aftermath of war in various regions around the globe, including Cambodia, Afghanistan, the former Yugoslavia, and Vietnam. Over his 25-year career, he has focused on portraying the lives of local inhabitants in regions affected by conflict. Since 1997, he has served as a photographer for Mine Advisory Group (MAG), an organization dedicated to the clearance of mines and explosive remnants in post-conflict areas worldwide.
