Writer Kao Kalia Yang Brings Hmong Storytelling to the American Canon

She is the curating artist for the May 2019 event, Art Is...Our Call for Peace. Writer Kao Kalia Yang, traditional song poet Bee Yang, spoken word artist Kevin Yang, and visual artist  Xee Reiter come together on a historic evening that transcends generations and artistic forms to celebrate Hmong art in America. They send a message to the world: If there are good things that emerge from wars at all, then it is us, those who've survived to dream of more peaceful possibilities.
