Threads of the HMong Diaspora Online
Indigenous to the lands of China and living throughout Southeast Asia, there are over 100,000 HMong people in California. This talk explores the history of HMong Californians through the threads of their global diaspora. Tapping into oral history and folklore, designer and curator Pachia Lucy Vang shares research rooted in HMong knowledge to look at the importance of paj ntaub or HMong clothing and textiles throughout the world.
Pachia Lucy Vang is a curator and designer creating paj ntaub textile arts in her studio Culture through Cloth. She holds a BA in Anthropology from UC Berkeley and is a current MFA Candidate of Design at UC Davis, where she is merging textile and exhibition design to curate, create, and re-imagine through HMong knowledge.
