Our Voices: Stories from Washington's Southeast Asian Refugees

Thousands of refugees from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia built new lives in Washington State after the war in Vietnam. In 1975, Washington invited 500 Southeast Asian refugees to make the state their home. Now, refugees and their descendants tell their stories through oral histories and photographs depicting this remarkable era. Hear about their journey in this exhibition organized in collaboration with Legacy Washington and the Washington Secretary of State.

55th Annual Northwest Folklife Festival at Seattle Center

“I am because we are” is the basic translation of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is about belonging. That we belong to each other because our personhood is connected to the personhood of someone else. A loved one. A friend. A neighbor. A stranger. Our humanity is rooted in the relationships that we hold with people. People that we have both met and not met–consciously, subconsciously, and unconsciously. It is a testament to the undeniable fact that we are tethered to each other, whether we know them or not. That an action or an encounter can have a ripple effect on our immediate time and place, as well as somewhere halfway across the world.
