CLUTCH Vol. 5: Power in Performance

By Joanna | Published: June 8, 2013

WRITTEN BY CLUTCH Vol. 5 PARTICIPANT, JOANNA DELOS REYES

Marissa Largo and the Clutch participants mid-discussion.

During one of our first CLUTCH meetings, we met with performance artist, educator, mother and scholar Marissa Largo. Performance art has been something that I have personally become interested in during my studies. Just from hearing Marissa utter the fluidity, body politic and public space, I knew that I was in for a treat and looked forward to what the afternoon’s discussion had in store for us.

The Scene: Robert Langen Art Gallery presents Marissa Largo’s Maleta Stories

By Nicole | Published: October 26, 2012

I Bring Myself (Dala Ko ang aking Sarili), 2010 – Originally commissioned by KAPISANAN for Pasalubong Padala Pabaon Exhibit in 2010.

Wilfrid Laurier University’s Robert Langen Art Gallery presents an interactive installation by artist Marissa Largo in an exhibition titled Maleta Stories, running from Oct. 31 to Dec. 8, 2012.

Maleta Stories explores the growing hybridity of communities and the diasporic identity that is formed through global migration. Through stop motion animation and a participatory installation, Largo invites the public to share their maleta stories – their distant or direct stories of how they came to be in Canada.

Growing Up “Canadian” an interactive arts event is ON Saturday March 3rd

By caromango | Published: February 21, 2012

According to Statistics Canada, Filipino-Canadian youth are not, on average, doing well in education and employment after they leave high school. Members from the Filipino Youth Transitions in Canada project are conducting research to find out why this is so.

Initial findings from the research bring to light issues facing Filipino-Canadian youth such as religion; relationships with parents and peers; discrimination; as well as challenges to belonging.

On Saturday, March 3rd, in partnership with Kapisanan, FYTiC will be hosting an intimate showcase featuring Filipino Canadian spoken-word artists, playwrights, and visual artists. These artists will be showcasing artwork that speak to the research themes and what it means for them to grow up “Canadian”.

We invite you to take part in this community event!
