Webcast: Ocean as Boundary: Conversation with Three Artists

June 16 - June 16,2020

Note: This is an online-only event. No in-person meeting will take place. Checking in from the East, Gulf, and West Coasts, artists Jeanne F. Jalandoni, Matt Manalo, and Charlene Tan will discuss their current perspectives on visual arts in their areas. In a broad-ranging conversation, each of the artists will share insights on how their practice and their approach to creating has been impacted in recent months, and what they are focusing on through their current work and research. These three artists work across a broad spectrum of media and draw from their Filipino American heritage in their respective practices. Charlene Tan’s work is inspired by her Filipina-Chinese-American identity, reconnecting her with the artistic cultural heritage of tribal weaving patterns of the Philippines. Through his work involving elements of painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and printmaking, Matt Manalo discusses his first-generation immigrant experiences navigating around the physical and social structures of society while exploring social issues like erasure, colorism, and colonial mentality. Working primarily with the combination of paint and textile, Jeanne Jalandoni reflects on her Filipino American history and personal experiences to establish her own bicultural identity. This program is online-only and will be simulcast to YouTube Live and Facebook Live. The webcast will begin 7:30 p.m. CT on Thursday, June 16. Audience questions are welcome via YouTube Live and Facebook Live. Learn more » https://asiasociety.org/texas/events/webcast-ocean-boundary-filipino-american-artists-perspectives-three-coasts
