Soul
Calling: A Photographic Journey through the Hmong Diaspora
Book signing and discussion with Joel Pickford
Free event at the California Historical Society, 678 Mission Street , San Francisco
In a lively and informative presentation,
photographer and author Joel Pickford weaves the story of his personal
journey through the Hmong Diaspora, showing photographs from his book, Soul
Calling: A Photographic Journey through the Hmong Diaspora, and some that
are not in the book. A Q&A session and book signing will follow his
presentation. The result of five years of courageous and heartfelt commitment, Soul Calling opens our eyes to the
beauty, resilience and daily lives of the Hmong people, so recently displaced
from their traditional homeland by the traumas of the Vietnam War. From the rice
harvests and funerals of remote Hmong villages in the mountains of Laos to the shamanic ceremonies and overflowing
apartment-complex vegetable gardens of Hmong Americans living in Fresno
