Playhouse Gallery: Hmong Diaspora in Tapestry
The Hmong Institute
2025 marks 50 years since the Hmong diaspora from Laos, and this historic collection preserves their lived experiences and stories through textile art. Woven and embroidered story cloths offer insight into Hmong history and the Ban Vinai refugee experience, educating and inspiring the Hmong community and beyond. This exhibition is part of The Hmong Institute’s 50th-anniversary activities commemorating the Hmong diaspora.
