RICHMOND–Opening on February 22 at The Richmond Museum of History,
the traveling exhibit will present and juxtapose crucial stages of
refugees from Laos and multi-ethnic Lao American history through the
representation of four homes. As they move physically and symbolically
through each, visitors will be asked to contemplate ideas of
“home” as seen through the eyes of people for whom the notion is
precarious, and for those who have lived or are still living
“between two worlds.” The exhibit highlights the ways in which the
refugees from Laos migration exerted pressure on cultural norms, and
how survival involved both radical loss and creative adaptation.

hours: Wednesday—Sunday, 1-4pm. $5 for adults, $3 for
