McIntosh Memorial Library will host an enriching evening of art and culture on Thursday, Oct. 17, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the program room. Local artist Shoua Yang of CeevTsegPress will lead a free printmaking workshop titled “Cultural Relief Printmaking.”
Participants will explore the fascinating history of relief printing while gaining insight into the significance of Hmong cultural identity. This interactive workshop offers the unique opportunity to engage with Shoua, view a collection of his relief prints rich with cultural narratives, and learn how to print.
Artist Shoua Yang displays an example of his relief printmaking.

Shoua Yang is a talented relief printmaker specializing in woodcuts. As a refugee who resettled in the United States in the early ‘90s, his work reflects his journey of self-identity and Hmong heritage. Through printmaking, Shoua has found a voice to create dialogues about the Hmong diaspora, making his art both personal and culturally significant.
