Just as ancestral wisdom and stories were woven into the Hmong folk arts of paj ntaub flower cloth, song poetry, and oral storytelling, this collection of illustrations and installations offers a contemporary perspective on Hmong history, culture, and identity, bridging the past, present, and future.
From honoring the ancestral styles of traditional Hmong clothing to portraying modern Hmong-American narratives, this exhibit invites all to celebrate the resilience and enduring story of the Hmong people.
