Hearts of Freedom: Stories of Southeast Asian Refugees

February to April 2025 Gallery Exhibition

Hearts of Freedom – Stories of Southeast Asian Refugees exhibition focuses on the incredible stories of Southeast Asian refugees from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. The impact of the Vietnam War, the Lao Secret War, and the Cambodian Genocide forced millions to flee their homelands and to seek safety in other countries. These courageous refugees risked their lives, journeyed to different host countries, and traveled thousands of miles to Canada. The exhibition tells the stories of these survivors, in their own words and through their unique perspectives, adding to the fabric of the Canadian history of immigration.

A film accompanies this exhibit.  Please ask at our front desk to view it in our theater.
