Hmongstory40 Sacramento Exhibit
Donation protected
Please make Hmongstory 40 (HS40) Sacramento Exhibit a wonderful and lasting experience for the community. Let this experience open doors and pathways to build missing dialogue in the community. Donation levels are listed below and are all tax deductible as we are a 501(c)(3) project under Parent Teacher Home Visits Project and Gift to Share, Inc.
What is Hmongstory 40?
The year 2015 marked 40 years of the Hmong migration from Laos and Thailand to the United States of America. To commemorate this special anniversary, an exhibition comprising of photographs, stories, fine art, and artifacts will be organized to showcase the Hmong experience.
Hmongstory 40 is a joint effort from many people throughout the state of California. This exhibition will provide a rare and intimate opportunity to connect with the Hmong people. From the past to the present, Hmongstory 40 will construct a different narrative that is still absent within the Hmong community and the general public at large. It is the Hmongstory because it’s a collective of our community stories. We would like to preserve and showcase some of these stories for the community to see.
Traditionally, the Hmong are widely known for their customs, traditions, and tapestry arts. There are numerous books, articles, and stories that have been written about the Hmong people. However, there has never been a complete exhibition organized to illustrate a richer perspective of looking into the Hmong experience. With this exhibition, we hope to achieve these objectives:
- To celebrate and highlight 40 years of accomplishments by Hmong in California and abroad.
- To recognize and pay tribute to our leaders, parents, and community members.
- To bridge and connect a new generation of Hmong Americans to the trauma and experiences of refugee settlement endured by their families.
- To educate the general public about the Hmong and the events that led to the changes in their history.
- To encourage the importance of cultural and historical documentation and preservation of the Hmong experience for future generations.
We’ve had two successful exhibit showcases with more than 40,000 in attendance altogether, one in Fresno and one in Merced. We especially would love to bring it here to Sacramento, being one of the most diverse cities and having the second largest Hmong population in the state.
With this being said, we’d like you to join us in support of our project as it makes its last stop in Sacramento. We still have to fundraise another $28,000 to reach our goal and pulling this exhibit together. Please consider donating to this cause; as ultimately, this goes back into the community.
