This panel discussion features artists from the exhibitions Cloth as Land: HMong Indigeneity and Cloth Origins: Textiles from the HMong Journey.
This panel dives into each artist’s practice, looking at how they continue ancestral cloth practices to express cultural identities, negotiate assimilation, heal from trauma, uncover personal narratives, and make art in community. The conversation illuminates the artists’ creative processes, offering insights into the themes of displacement, belonging, and Indigeneity that reverberate through both HMong and HMong American landscapes.
