The Northern Illinois University Pick Museum of Anthropology is currently hosting an exhibition and oral history exhibit about the Hmong titled, "Story Telling: Hmong American Voices", where my music is featured through audio and visual representation.
Take a quick listen to the Northern Public Radio story of the exhibit, featuring Txoj Phuam Txoom Suab.
Pagnia Xiong is an internationally recognized Hmong-American singer, actor, and creative producer. A self-taught artist, Pagnia has spent nearly two decades using her music to empower women, promote self-love, and inspire the pursuit of dreams. Her albums and performances have reached hundreds of thousands worldwide, and she's made history as the first Hmong-American female music artist to perform at a major U.S. league sporting event. Beyond music, Pagnia is an accomplished actor, making her main stage debut with Theater Mu to critical acclaim. She recently headlined her first solo concert at the Ordway and launched a Hmong Music Mentorship program in 2025.
