Welcome to another episode of the Wondrous Crane podcast, I’m your host, Emily Bahnson and I am so excited to have with me today, the sister duo, Youa and Wone Vang from Third Daughter, Restless Daughter.
Youa and Wone create intricate cross stitch pieces that bring many people joy, laughter, and beauty into their homes. Third Daughter, Restless Daughter began not as a definitive response to create, but as a response to mimic their grandmother’s Hmong embroidery. The most important constant in their business is the hard work and integrity that they put into every project and they bring people together through laughter as their pieces often hold bits of humor.
As Asian American Women, we dive into the intricacies of growing up Asian in the suburbs of Minnesota and how racism and microagressions have not only impacted our personal lives but other BIPOC people too through the unequal opportunities presented to them either in work or having their art displayed at shows.
When curating their own shows, Youa and Wone, want to flip that narrative of having a token BIPOC person represented and instead build a diverse community that uplifts ALL people and not just the few traditionally chosen.
This episode was such a joy to record because Youa and Wone's laughter is always contagious and hearing their stories as Hmong Women trying to make an impact through their art and community building is truly inspiring.
