The Operation Babylift Collection began as a simple idea—a way to express gratitude to those who cared for us during our adoption journeys. In just two years, it has grown into something far greater: a community of connection, healing, and shared history.
Over the course of the past few years I have had the opportunity to meet some exceptional human beings. Connecting these beautiful stories and experiences invites a collective power of resilience, courage, vulnerability and humanity in its purest form: connection. It is these invisible threads that strengthen us all, individually and collectively.
This April marks the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon and Operation Babylift. To honor this milestone, we will host Invisible Threads at the East Window Gallery in Boulder, Colorado.
The exhibit will feature:
-
StoryCorps-style interviews recorded this fall
-
Live StoryShare Gathering / Reception on April 10th
-
A gallery with artifacts and exclusive material showcasing an interactive installation with contributions from the Operation Babylift community
-
A closing showcase from the Mini Memoir workshop, writing, art, poetry from the Operation Babylift community
About the Project
Invisible Threads is a storytelling and archival exhibition series curated by StoryScope Studios. It combines personal narratives, digitized records, and historical context to build a public archive, live gallery exhibition (April 2026 at East Window Gallery, Boulder CO), podcast, and documentary materials.

Why Your Story Matters
Your experience is a vital thread in this shared tapestry. Whether you are an adoptee, caregiver, refugee, veteran, volunteer, journalist, or artist, your voice is integral to an authentic, diverse, and intergenerational record of memory, migration, and healing. These conversations serve not only as personal reflection but as collective history.
