Catzie’s Laos In The House project will celebrate and honor the work and legacy of renowned Lao dancer, teacher, and artist Pom Khampradith, who passed away from breast cancer in April 2014. By presenting Pom’s story and work through her first five students and son Ravi, Catzie’s project will showcase the collaborative efforts of remembrance as well as preserve cultural and historical traditions for current and future generations. The goal of the project is to resist the rejection of cultural traditions for many Lao Americans who are often marginalized by a culture that does not prioritize art or embrace social commentary.
