About the Talk
In this talk, Steinhauer will explore the inspiration behind his work — capturing the heart and soul of the Vietnamese people, their resilience, survival, and creativity. He will reflect on how art inherits the past while nurturing hope for the future, and how it can play a transformative role in healing and reconciliation. The talk will also introduce his latest book, SPIRES: Cathedrals of the Red River Delta, which beautifully documents churches built during the French colonial period and the blending of French architectural styles with Vietnamese design sensibilities.

About the Speaker
Peter Steinhauer is an artist, photographer, and author of four monographs who lived and worked in Vietnam for 30 years beginning in 1993. Carrying forward his father’s legacy — a U.S. military doctor who co-founded a non-profit health organization supporting Vietnamese hospitals and doctors — Steinhauer’s mission has been to portray Vietnam’s natural beauty, culture, and people beyond the context of war.
