Why does one return to the land of their ancestors? How does one return to their everyday life when the trip is over? Inspired by their most recent travels to the Philippines, three local artists/activists have created new work exploring these questions. Using a uniquely PhilAm lens, Lovella Calica, L. Capco Lincoln and Michelle Posadas unpack an evening of film, poetry and performance that weaves together reflections upon the intersection of each artist's personal experience and the current state of their home countries.

This event is made possible in part with funding from the Leeway Foundation.
