Back by Popular Demand and For One Night Only

Inspired by their most recent travels to the Philippines, three local artist/activists will present new work which explores such questions as, “Why does one return to the land of their ancestors?” and “How does one return to their everyday life when the trip is over?” Using a uniquely Pin@y lens, Lovella Calica, L. Capco Lincoln and Michelle Posadas will unpack an evening of film, poetry and performance that weaves together reflections on the intersection of each artist's personal experience, identity, and the current state of their home countries.
