The Mekong is a mighty river - running some 2,900 miles from the Himalayas to the South China Sea - but it's not a friendly river. In some places it's too wide and too swift; it's difficult to navigate because of its many waterfalls and rapids; it often serves as a boundary separating countries instead of a passage between them. The river runs through it
Despite this, dozens of cultures florish along the river's banks. "The Basin of the Mekong River: Images of the Past" is an exhibit giving viewers an impression of these cultures, running through Friday at the East-West Center Gallery.
The exhibit was organized in Paris by the National Institute for Eastern Language and Cultures (which recently inked a cooperative agreement with the East-West Center) and curated by brothers Bernard and Patrick Gay. The exhibits uses 260 images, mostly photographic, selected from archives of foreign missions all over Europe. The cultural groups include Chinese, Khmer, Tai, Burmese and Indo-Chinese.
Curiously, the photographic record is thinnest for Thailand, the only southeast Asian country never colonized by outside powers.
