In continuation of our community benefit concert, Interwoven: A Tapestry of Resilience & Resistance expands into a curated gallery exhibition uplifting the voices, stories, and creative expressions of artists impacted by — and in solidarity with — families affected by recent immigration raids.
Hmong artists and creatives will exhibit artwork speaking to resilience, resistance, displacement, identity, healing, and collective care.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
This exhibition serves as a visual and spatial extension of our community gathering — transforming lived experiences into storytelling, memory, and movement. Through art, we honor the strength of our communities while creating space for reflection, visibility, and solidarity.
This gallery exhibition is a direct continuation of our collective effort to meet our fundraising goals to support families impacted by recent immigration raids.
All artwork sales from the exhibition, along with proceeds from any programming connected to the exhibit throughout May 2026, will go directly toward supporting impacted families.
