Storying Filipinx Greater Vancouver, or kuwento as vernacular analysis with Dr. JP Catungal
November 20, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Part of the Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality, and Social Justice’s Noted Scholars Series, and in collaboration with The Centre for Asian Canadian Research and Engagement’s Browning Asian Canada series.
This presentation tells the story of the “Kuwentong Pamamahay” (KP) project, a community engaged oral history research collaboration with Heritage Vancouver Society and Sliced Mango Collective, an arts and advocacy organization for and by Filipinx Canadian youth in Vancouver. Centering ‘kuwento’ (story) as method and the project of research for, by and with Filipinx Canadian communities, KP seeks to produce an archive of oral histories of Filipinx Canadian narrative of home and practices of placemaking in Greater Vancouver. Placing KP within a history of community knowledge production by Filipinx Canadian scholars, artists and organizers, this paper also argues for an appreciation of migrant community organizing as political analysis and anti-racist praxis from below.
