This year's program celebrates the early sea trade connections between the Philippines and California, which gave root to our Filipino American communities, and shaped artistic production in Asia and the Americas. Highlights include Florante Aguilar Ensemble performing excerpts from Lalawigan; music by Ron Quesada & Kulintronica; Jason Magabo Perez performing excerpts from The Passion of El Hulk Hogancito; artist demonstrations, a live tattoo session, talks by visiting Filipino scholars, author readings, short films, displays, and docent and storytelling tours focusing on the Filipino objects in the museum’s collection. The day will conclude with bus transportation to the University of San Francisco to view exhibition Galleons and Globalization: California Missions and the Pacific Rim.
