The last time I saw the black bags on the right was when I was in Sapa, Vietnam. The women and children were selling trinkets and one of these bags were gifted to me. They are machine made, some of the Sapa Hmong stated that these bags were made in China and then resold to them. The trinkets on the left look similar to the ones that mother use to sell at Hmong sports tournaments in the United States. They are either made in China or Thailand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1560016977250-FF7OD36PHZ4G76CDBPYI/Day-286_June_08_Web16.jpg Blogging Art, Community and Hmong Experiences - Day 286: June 08, 2019 Carnival of Cultures, Berlin, Germany 2019.

I saw a lot of prints, books about Japanese textile, women and culture and it made me wonder why they were for sale in the book store. It turns out that there was a private collection on view. This collection included many different artist's work in progress and prints, however the Musuem choose to focus on Feliksa Jasienski's Asian Collection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466112398410-CRUHP6R317RMQJ6TO4YY/IMG_0962.JPG Blogging Art, Community and Hmong Experiences - Vacation vs Traveling Part 1 - "Japonka" by Jozef Pankiewicz (1866-1940) This journal cover is a painting titled "Japonka" by Jozef Pankiewicz (1866-1940), which is on display at the Muzeum Narodowe W Krakowie. This collection included many different artist's work in progress and prints, however the Musuem choose to focus on Feliksa Jasienski's Asian Collection. Jasienski's collection comes off a weeaboo-ish. Like many artist and collectors during the 1800s, Jasienski collected exotic and oriental works. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466111421140-9NVSVDLRPL80WAG4TU7O/IMG_0963.JPG Blogging Art, Community and Hmong Experiences - Vacation vs Traveling Part 1 - Feliksa Jasienski My friend and I also visited a building called the Manggha Center in Krakow. After visiting Muzeum Narodowe w Krakowie, things are falling into place as to why Krakow has a Manggha Center (museum that exhibits Jasienski's manga collection and other contemporary works). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466111112491-KGI5ZOK8L5F3MLDWJ8PP/IMG_0986.JPG Blogging Art, Community and Hmong Experiences - Vacation vs Traveling Part 1 - "Long Live Art! From Japan to Europe. Beautiful and Useful Objects" Feliksa Jasienski's collection was for viewing at one of the branches of The National Museum in Kraków. Went on whim after visiting the gift shop. The shop was filled with his collections of Japanese Manga, prints, textiles and etc. I wanted to understand why anyone would have over three rooms filled with "Japanese stuff". Lots of Utagawa Hiroshige's wood prints were on display. In another room was a painting of Asian yellow face. The title of the show, "Long Live Art! From Japan to Europe. Beautiful and Useful Objects" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466111422454-EC5LCE6A1H1ID6QYKI22/IMG_0965.JPG Blogging Art, Community and Hmong Experiences - Vacation vs Traveling Part 1 I wondered if the translation was throwing me off in the overall experience of Jasienski's private collection... I paid close attention to the choice of words and the works that this person was interested in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466112459136-0O6XE26KS61OB2QK7GZ0/IMG_0967.JPG Blogging Art, Community and Hmong Experiences - Vacation vs Traveling Part 1 - "Japonka" by Jozef Pankiewicz (1866-1940) This painting was located right next to the kimono worn by the figure, all apart of Jasienski's private collection. Notice the figure facing away from the viewer, the neck being a focal point, sexualizing, exotifying through textiles and motifs in kimonos. Upon seeing this, I was working really hard to convince myself in my head that it could be pure coincidence that the figure is looking away from the observers. However I know, this is not coincidence. It's definitely about the western male gaze and exotification of the Asian female body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466112312536-X6SHDWI2BVDDMK6R4NCE/IMG_0966.JPG Blogging Art, Community and Hmong Experiences - Vacation vs Traveling Part 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466112877091-HE3K20M5S10FWHCXWHE8/IMG_0970.JPG Blogging Art, Community and Hmong Experiences - Vacation vs Traveling Part 1 - Portrait of Jasienski I didn't catch the name of the artist who painted this portrait, however the mark making looks similar to Jozef Pankiewicz who painted Japonka (Japanese Women). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466113059471-3CJJ5PNZKZCR51LI1G92/IMG_0972.JPG Blogging Art, Community and Hmong Experiences - Vacation vs Traveling Part 1 The quoted comes off as an observation/comment regarding the artist's experiences with Japanese art. What bothers me is that the statement comes off voyeuristic, in a mystifying way. I do not see Japanese art the way Jasienski does, and nor do I support his opinions on his "Asian" collection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466111439484-S2DSL6A0P39RA1YHQ0ZW/IMG_0974.JPG Blogging Art, Community and Hmong Experiences - Vacation vs Traveling Part 1 Cut paper, I didn't catch the name of the artist who created these. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466113757416-O1KME9WF3JRASUKBGEN3/IMG_0976.JPG Blogging Art, Community and Hmong Experiences - Vacation vs Traveling Part 1 - Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) (View from the Window over the Uchikawa River, Forests behind the Suijin Temple and Sekiya Village, plate 47 from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo) 1857 Color woodblock print, paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466111448023-GXBJZ2FV0FUHLSEVUCQM/IMG_0979.JPG Blogging Art, Community and Hmong Experiences - Vacation vs Traveling Part 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466113892142-2BP5EOE89NINQC4STEXL/IMG_0983.JPG Blogging Art, Community and Hmong Experiences - Vacation vs Traveling Part 1 Aside from the advertisement of Feliksa Jasienski's Japanese collection, he also had a large collection of furniture, prints and paintings by Polish artist.

This collection included many different artist's work in progress and prints, however the Musuem choose to focus on Feliksa Jasienski's Asian Collection. Jasienski's collection comes off a weeaboo-ish. Like many artist and collectors during the 1800s, Jasienski collected exotic and oriental works. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466111421140-9NVSVDLRPL80WAG4TU7O/IMG_0963.JPG Feliksa Jasienski's collection - Feliksa Jasienski My friend and I also visited a building called the Manggha Center in Krakow. After visiting Muzeum Narodowe w Krakowie, things are falling into place as to why Krakow has a Manggha Center (museum that exhibits Jasienski's manga collection and other contemporary works). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466111112491-KGI5ZOK8L5F3MLDWJ8PP/IMG_0986.JPG Feliksa Jasienski's collection - "Long Live Art! From Japan to Europe. Beautiful and Useful Objects" Feliksa Jasienski's collection was for viewing at one of the branches of The National Museum in Kraków. Went on whim after visiting the gift shop. The shop was filled with his collections of Japanese Manga, prints, textiles and etc. I wanted to understand why anyone would have over three rooms filled with "Japanese stuff". Lots of Utagawa Hiroshige's wood prints were on display. In another room was a painting of Asian yellow face. The title of the show, "Long Live Art! From Japan to Europe. Beautiful and Useful Objects" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466111422454-EC5LCE6A1H1ID6QYKI22/IMG_0965.JPG Feliksa Jasienski's collection I wondered if the translation was throwing me off in the overall experience of Jasienski's private collection... I paid close attention to the choice of words and the works that this person was interested in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466112459136-0O6XE26KS61OB2QK7GZ0/IMG_0967.JPG Feliksa Jasienski's collection - "Japonka" by Jozef Pankiewicz (1866-1940) This painting was located right next to the kimono worn by the figure, all apart of Jasienski's private collection. Notice the figure facing away from the viewer, the neck being a focal point, sexualizing, exotifying through textiles and motifs in kimonos. Upon seeing this, I was working really hard to convince myself in my head that it could be pure coincidence that the figure is looking away from the observers. However I know, this is not coincidence. It's definitely about the western male gaze and exotification of the Asian female body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466112312536-X6SHDWI2BVDDMK6R4NCE/IMG_0966.JPG Feliksa Jasienski's collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466112877091-HE3K20M5S10FWHCXWHE8/IMG_0970.JPG Feliksa Jasienski's collection - Portrait of Jasienski I didn't catch the name of the artist who painted this portrait, however the mark making looks similar to Jozef Pankiewicz who painted Japonka (Japanese Women). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466113059471-3CJJ5PNZKZCR51LI1G92/IMG_0972.JPG Feliksa Jasienski's collection The quoted comes off as an observation/comment regarding the artist's experiences with Japanese art. What bothers me is that the statement comes off voyeuristic, in a mystifying way. I do not see Japanese art the way Jasienski does, and nor do I support his opinions on his "Asian" collection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466111439484-S2DSL6A0P39RA1YHQ0ZW/IMG_0974.JPG Feliksa Jasienski's collection Cut paper, I didn't catch the name of the artist who created these. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466113757416-O1KME9WF3JRASUKBGEN3/IMG_0976.JPG Feliksa Jasienski's collection - Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) (View from the Window over the Uchikawa River, Forests behind the Suijin Temple and Sekiya Village, plate 47 from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo) 1857 Color woodblock print, paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466111448023-GXBJZ2FV0FUHLSEVUCQM/IMG_0979.JPG Feliksa Jasienski's collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466113892142-2BP5EOE89NINQC4STEXL/IMG_0983.JPG Feliksa Jasienski's collection Aside from the advertisement of Feliksa Jasienski's Japanese collection, he also had a large collection of furniture, prints and paintings by Polish artist.

Seeing these works made me think about traditional art making process that are very old and yet prevalent in Japanese comics today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466114345662-3X9Z0QQQJ30LH6AS0HPD/IMG_0990.JPG Feliksa Jasienski's collection - Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) Jasienski's got a rather large collection of Hokusai's sketches and prints. Underneath these cases was a drawer that people can pull open and there's more books! I was so shocked to see these I spent close to one hour just looking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466114453009-5A8O3IVWEBN9Y0CO4KDW/IMG_0991.JPG Feliksa Jasienski's collection - Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) (Manga - Random sketches, Vol. 5) 1st half of the 19th Century.

This was Feliksa Jasienski's private collection, ultimately about Jasienski, his views, and interest in the art, the exotic and orient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1466115417464-BYK83TMNXSKTPGXO0RYS/IMG_1002.JPG Feliksa Jasienski's collection - Kazimierz Sihulski (1879-1942) The Feliks Jasienski Museum, Przed/ before 1906 Pastel, charcoal, paper This artist illustrated yellow goblin like figure also known as the classic representation of yellow face. No female figures depicted here, however the yellow goblin figure emasculates the Asian male figure, I believe, also contributing to the hyper sexualization and exotification of the Asian female body. https://www.kouamyang.com/seeds-of-change-hmongenglish daily 0.75 2021-04-17 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/t/607a3a0cf96835227eb855ab/1467233114130/ Seeds of Change -

The resulting installation materializes the complex nature of interpreting historical collections—and underscores the role of photography in shaping our reception of historical figures. VanDerBeek has had solo exhibitions at the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam; Baltimore Museum of Art; Hammer Museum; Whitney Museum of American Art; Fondazione Memmo, Rome; and Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland.

The particular location reminded me of the stories that my mother often told. She stated that one should avoid waters that were algae blue-green because it was often a sign that a spiritual entity owns the territory and lives in the area. She advises to not pick up anything and don’t touch the waters; that if one was eating while traveling in through a forest, to make an offering and acknowledge the spirits of the place. For me, the stories they tell about the natural landscape was not only about cautionary tales regarding human stupidity, but these stories reveal larger narratives about how some Hmong people historically have lived alongside other non-human living things. Similarly, my grandfather also believed that one should never come across a stone, a branch, a thing and violently kick or force it elsewhere because they have a purpose for being placed where they lay. These are things that I think about when I’m walking, and moving through space; what does it mean to exist, to be, to live among, things? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1587352382384-MXAUDA0ZEFVN8XESTJJQ/Day-603_April_20web.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 603 April 19, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1587425238405-XKQNZQLJPZR1IODIZ8ZV/Day-604_April_20_13web.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 604 April 20, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1587505875687-3MK4VGLSRTTGT3NUFE5G/Day-605_April_21_02web.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 605 April 21, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1587605841644-60ATH9MI0TSIXGE555LV/Day-606_April_22_01web.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 606 April 22, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1587693443627-9ODR3O68GF5PQKO6DKOR/Day-607_April_23_05web.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 607 April 23, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1587832795857-NFJZY8C4BSWWAZCIG50T/Day+608_April_24web.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 608 April 24, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1587853597621-3YFFJJCLDV9AJU960EAI/Day-609_April_25_07web.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 609 April 25, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1587936419357-YX4THK7LWQSA0BUE3XH1/Day-610_April_26_2020_01.2Web.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 610 April 26, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1588042036655-G5HSX0DN6EXW2L01VSKE/image-asset.jpeg Hnav Hmoob - Day 611 April 27, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1588122990714-67OVFG99EO40DN54L8TZ/Day-612_April_28_04.2web.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 612 April 28, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1588194321827-87CF7FV494QKS1FDAOA3/image-asset.jpeg Hnav Hmoob - Day 613 April 29, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1588289292585-ZV3M9KGA0GEWOJVGWBZ4/Day-614_April_30_10web.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 614 April 30, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1564796285404-ANPIHX70S02ZSBG9LOJW/Day-329_July_21_web31.jpg Hnav Hmoob https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1564796492397-JG3SR9NF8VX3M8P4K8XE/Day-330_July_22_web3.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 330 July 22, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1564796539464-8EUXTIOIZM92AOJRYC0V/Day-331_July_23_web2.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 331 July 23, 2019: Paris, France https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1564796612700-KL1LBFYI6G1F8WCDVY9B/Day-332_July_24_web.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 332 July 24, 2019: Paris, France https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1564797278050-5DYYI6BQC9WNIZ99O73W/DSCF6551.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 332 July 24, 2019: Paris, France Photo by Felik Wong, Airbnb Experience I hired a photographer to photograph me in Paris.

The proclamation was initiated on May 14, 2013 by Governor Mark Dayton. It states, ”May 14, 2013, marks the thirty eighth anniversary of the fall of Long Cheng, a United States ~ Hmong air base in Laos during the Laotian Civil War; and Many Hmong refugees and their families immigrated to the United States, and today over 60,000 Hmong Americans are residents of Minnesota; and Like many immigrant groups before them, Hmong refugees resettled to the United States to escape war and persecution, to find opportunities, and to better their lives and the lives of their children; and Hmong Americans are helping build a vibrant and diverse Minnesota, contributing socially, politically, and economically to our state. Today recognizes and celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of Hmong Americans in Minnesota. NOW, THEREFORE, I, MARK DAYTON, Governor of Minnesota, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, May 14, 2013, as: HMONG AMERICAN DAY” While I appreciate the Hmong American community is wanting to be recognized and should be recognized for their involvement in the American War, Vietnam War, Second Indochinese War, I am reminded that everyday has been Hmong American Day. I do not hate being Hmong, I do not hate being American, however, I do not get to choose to be one or the other. I do not get to choose when I want to perform Hmong or when I want to perform American. I do not get to be more American and less Hmong and vice-versa. I am feeling conflicted about the performance of Hmong seen visibly on social media and mainstream local news in Minnesota. The great and not so great thing is that Hmong people know how to celebrate culture, history and identity. The community coordinate performances, reconnect with friends, family and make new connections, however I do not think “Hmong American Day” should be a once a year conversation or recognition. These one day celebrations should be seen in conversations with the kinds of healing work that are still needed in the general Hmong community around war, trauma, sexual violence, gender, disability and mental health. Although it appears at first that the Hmong community in Minnesota is progressing and developing at a fast rate, I do not think people are doing okay, I think the performance of silence is a coping mechanism that will eventually no longer serve the community. I am referring many forms of silence and silencing, they are precisely the moments where the people in my family use silence to defuse heated debates and arguments, when older women silence daughter-in-laws, or when I am taught to stay silent because it will save me from an abusive relationship with men or bring less visibility to my situation. Hmong American Day is a situation where Hmong people become hyper visible as an Asian American refugee and immigrant population who is making great strides for the larger community. Showing good behavior, an example of what a good refugee population can look like, while what stays invisible is the United States history with bombing the homes of Hmong, Lao and other ethnic groups who assisted and aided the United States during the war. What stays invisible is how I am still struggling through education, experiencing little or no support for my learning. What stays invisible and missing from the Hmong community are the youth, women, disabled, queer and trans voices that are still not included in constructing what is culture and society in the Hmong identity. If Hmong American Day was created with the intentions to recognize Hmong experiences and contributions during the war as a once a year event, I am less interested in the celebration but more so in proposing questions. How does the community move forward from here? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1559863665914-RAP809O0B8VX599BK8VI/Day+277_May_30_edit2.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 277 May 30, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1559863670473-UDU4WBAY3MZTP1BWZETA/Day-280-June_02_web.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 280 June 02, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1559863738944-EXNWPPYZGFI8GW8NSMMP/Day+281_June_03_edit.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 281 June 03, 2019 Frankfurt, Germany https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1559863750960-SGQLJ0IUTRR2I3CSVBSX/Day-282_June_04_web3.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 282 June 04, 2019 First day in Berlin, Germany https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1559863760035-D5QC7Q88OWEO0DNVHK93/Day-283_June_05_Web2.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 283 June 05, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1559863859797-NSY1Q9G7P7D10D527JBW/Day-284_June_06_web2.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 284 June 06, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1560013495941-GXJDK7EMGJM6O1SYXKH9/Day-285_June_07_web.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 285 June 07, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1560013525756-3NUY9EOVW0W4DLV1OJB9/Day-286_June_08_web2.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 286 June 08, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1560633472592-DS6V5HPF5E7DYIJVFWI1/Day-287_June_09_Web2.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 287 June 9, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1560800202389-BX5ROVE64I1E85CGUE38/Day-288_June_10_Web2.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 288 June 10, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1560633629424-96LZLFS1NSDNWWC7EI58/Day-289_June_11_web3.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 289 June 11, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5546e04ee4b0f97ba2b781c0/1560633969097-7D2DHTDGIPBUYPD0SZFC/20190612_184249_HDR.jpg Hnav Hmoob - Day 290 June 12, 2019, Gammertingen, Germany.

I stopped by the coffee shop downstairs and the server asked me if I was Filipino. I told her that I was American. She asked where my parents were from. It turns out that she use to attend church with a Hmong protestant boy. She said that she was interested in different languages and asked him to say something meaningful. She tattooed it to her body. She asked if I met any Hmong people, and when I said that I did not, she told me “what a pity”.
