Pader Xiong is an emerging filmmaker and artist based in Milwaukee, WI. Her artistic vision reflects her unique identity as a Hmong-American — a complex and multifaceted exploration of relationships, cultural values, and familial spaces though various mediums such as film, collage, printmaking, zines, and multimedia. The foundation of her work is driven by a deep desire to satisfy her own body and mind as she confronts conformity in the fight for visibility and representation.
