For his MAEP exhibition, Sieng Lee will collaborate with Wa Leng Lee, a renowned shaman, and his community to create an installation that reflects a modern-day retelling of Siv Yis, the first Hmong shaman. At the crux of his exhibition, Lee asks what people give up in order to assimilate into American culture.</span></p>

He is a recipient of the 2015 Jerome Foundation Fellowship for Emerging Artists, Minnesota States Arts Board.
