On behalf of The Filipino American Woman Project, which seeks to amplify Filipina representation in mainstream media, Nani facilitates the launch event of Damacion’s traveling exhibit. The two are joined by Francis Wong, a professor in Asian American Studies at San Francisco State University, jazz musician, and father figure in Bay Area community organizing for an insightful discussion about migration, student activism, and resistance.

For Those I’ve Saved Names For (FTISNF) is a call to action for Filipino American Representation. Originally a Master’s Thesis for San Francisco State University’s Department of Humanities and Comparative World Literature, FTISNF is now a traveling multimedia exhibit that can be experienced in-person or online at https://www.forthoseivesavednamesfor.com/

Shoutout to the late Uncle Kenneth Damacion for leaving us with a valuable legacy to learn from, and to Caitilin for her significant labor of love in packaging his story to share with us.
