Zippo Raids

Zippo raids is a collection on the juxtaposition between the Vietnam war and the counter cultural peace movement in the 60’s, enforced by the music created during this time with artists like Jimi Hendrix, The rolling stones, Jefferson Airplane and Santana. During this time in history the United states was more divided than ever, with a pointless war going on in Vietnam and a war at home with anti war protesters, it was close to a civil war. The collection features pieces which are time capsules and tributes to events and tragedy that happened during this time. The moral of the collection and what we can take from this darker section of history is to give peace a chance, something that still isn't happening to this day. We as the human race cannot get a hold of our emotions and that has led us into situations of war and great conflict, in war no one wins, everyone loses. Spreading peace and love has been an option for society to take but greed and power take over people’s motive for a Utopian world. The name “Zippo Raids”, comes from an action done by the U.S soldiers in Vietnam, when soldiers used their zippo lighter to burn down Vietnamese villages using napalm.
