2017-2018:
Nyob Zoo Sawv Daws! On behalf of the Association of Hmong Students (AHS) at UCLA, we would like to welcome you to this year’s Hmong Culture Show, Hmoob Txuj Ci. The purpose of our Culture Show is to showcase different aspects of the Hmong culture and examine the intersections of culture in the Hmong community. Hmoob Txuj Ci will share aesthetic aspects of the Hmong culture, such as Hmong music, dance, clothing, and arts. More importantly, Hmong Txuj Ci will share the personal experiences and talents of the individuals who perform throughout the night. The production is a community project that will feature performances from the members and friends of the Association of Hmong Students. We hope that our show will showcase the richness of Hmong culture and bring visibility of the Hmong community to UCLA. Thank you for joining us tonight. Ua tsaug uas nej tseem muab nej lub caij nyoog tseem ceeb tuaj koom peb rau hmo no. We hope you enjoy the show. AHS Board |
