Esteemed Twin Cities-based photographer Pao Houa Her ’09 is featured in the Cosmologies issue of Aperture Magazine.

The article written by Kong Pheng Pha focuses on Her's photography series My Grandfather Turned Into a Tiger (2017). Through the series, Her seeks to answer the questions: How do Hmong in the United States imagine Laos when they do not have a direct connection to it? Which of these scenes—literal or allegorical—resonates with Hmong?

My Grandfather Turned Into a Tiger adds to Her's growing body of work focusing on Hmong people and culture.
