Drawing its title from a painting by the late Carlos Villa, this roundtable conversation ruminates on the aesthetics and ethics of contemporary Filipino American art in the Bay Area. As one of the first sites of Filipino settlement in the United Statesand a place where Filipinos have long fought to remainSan Francisco is an unusually fertile ground for Filipino/American artists and performers to hone and exhibit their craft. In bringing together a small group of San Francisco-based artists, art educators, and cultural workers, we consider the state of art making in the city and discuss how new directions in Filipino American art are redefining notions of identity and community across the canvas, in the black box and in the streets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCVViZNIM1k
