Ger Xiong’s project will unfold through a series of workshops in Hmong communities in Wisconsin and will center Hmong metalwork and jewelry traditions, inviting participants to reflect on history, grief and loss, colonization, assimilation, and migration while practicing traditional craftmaking, and contributing to a growing archive of Hmong experiences. Xiong’s gathering will bring participants from across the state to share a traditional meal and present them with gifts and portraits created during the workshops.
