#hmongspace
Sticker
2” x 2”
2016 – ongoing
Because the Hmong are an ethnic minority from Southeast Asia with no homeland, the majority of Americans do not know we exist. #hmongspace is a movement that creates awareness; we are present, we are here and we belong. We are not invisible. When a sticker is placed in the world, it becomes a stand for the Hmong. With its bright colors, referencing patterns from Hmong traditional textiles, there is pride in our existence after the hardships our parents and ancestors have gone through. The project allows the viewer accessibility through the hashtag #hmongspace and can be shared on social media by bringing awareness to Hmong existence.
