Pachia Lucy Vang

Pachia Lucy Vang is a designer and curator whose work is informed by a pluriversal imagination that speaks from HMong-centered knowledge. Making paj ntaub (textile art), she crafts handmade pieces and installation-based designs that blur the boundaries between traditional and modern to navigate complexities around race, identity, and belonging in displacement. With over ten years of community-based work, Vang has traveled throughout the HMong diaspora in China, Southeast Asia, and the US, curating exhibitions and experiences that sew together more spaces and places to recontextualize history and culture through cloth. She holds an MFA in design from UC Davis and a BA in anthropology from UC Berkeley.
