The Ware Center for the Arts, 42 N. Prince St., Lancaster, will present "Our Journeys," a multimedia exhibition created by Vietnamese Boat People (VBP), on view from Monday, Feb. 2, to Saturday, Feb. 28, with a special exhibit opening event on Saturday, Jan. 31, at 7 p.m.

"Our Journeys" will bring to life deeply personal stories from Vietnamese Americans of migration, memory, and resilience. The exhibit will use oral histories, cherished artifacts, and interactive elements and will include local Vietnam diaspora stories by Alys Truong, Mai Nguyen Yeager, Ho-Thanh Nguyen, and Thuat Nham, the first Vietnamese woman to attend and graduate from Millersville University.

During the opening event on Jan. 31, artwork by local Asian American visual artists, including Libby Etheridge, Wendy Li Yuen-Ting, Yen Elizabeth Keener, Aron Rook, Vu Quoc Nguyen, and Baldwin Fellow Bri Nguyen, will be showcased. There will also be a display of traditional Vietnamese dresses curated by Julia Cao, Vietnamese finger foods provided by Rice & Noodles and the Sprout family, and a performance by Vietnamese American singer Le Thanh Truc ("Panda"). Maian McCauley, whose mother's story will be featured in the "Our Journeys" exhibit, will share the story of her family's diaspora experience.

VBP founder Tracey Nguyễn Mang will share ways to participate in the VBP oral history project and offer book signings for the "Our Journeys" book, an exhibition accompaniment.

"Our Journeys" may be viewed weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The exhibit and opening event are free and open to the public.
