Bockley Gallery invites you to Nim ye, our fourth solo presentation with Pao Houa Her.

Pao Houa Her’s artistic practice engages legacies and potentials of photographic traditions and aesthetics to create works that consider identity, longing, belonging and resilience in Hmong diasporic communities. Marking Her’s first video installation, and focusing on a single aspect of kwv txhiaj, or Hmong song poetry, the five-channel Nim ye immerses audiences in a score of continuous beginnings.
