Worlds of Words’ new exhibit features traditional Hmong storycloths from WOW’s Mary J. Wong collection along with children’s books and hands-on activities for all ages. Stitching Stories: Hmong Customs and Symbols as Told through Storycloths highlights the oral and textile storytelling traditions of the Hmong people. Examples of storytelling through textiles from Vietnam, Panama, Peru and Turkey are also on display. The free, all-ages exhibit is open to the public now through May in Worlds of Words, an initiative of the University of Arizona College of Education.
