Waubonsee Community College, in partnership with Northern Illinois University’s Pick Museum of Anthropology, will host “In/Visibility: Hmong America and the Art of Storytelling.” The exhibition will feature first-person reflections, textiles and artwork by Aurora native and Waubonsee alumna J. Tshab Her. The presentation considers how Hmong life has changed since refugees first entered the United States in the 1970s and what it means to be Hmong American today.
There will be an opening reception for the exhibit on Friday, March 2 at 6 p.m. at Waubonsee’s Aurora Downtown Campus Library, 18 S. River Street. The reception will include welcome remarks, Hmong food and tour of the exhibit that begins at 6:30 p.m.
The exhibition will continue at the Aurora Downtown Campus Library through Saturday, April 14. Both the opening reception and exhibition are free and open to the public. Visit calendar.waubonsee.edu/events/HmongAmerican for more information.
