As we gear up for Filipino American History Month, we are beaming with pride after watching the third episode of CAN TV’s Chi 21: The Art of Belonging, presented by CIRCA Pintig.
This episode is a perfect way to begin our History Month celebrations, connecting beautifully to this year’s theme: “Beyond the Margins: Centering Intersectional Filipino American History."
In this third episode, our co-hosts RJ and Carina share a thoughtful and joyful conversation about their connection to the arts in Chicago, their creative journeys, and their relationship with CIRCA Pintig, including the productions they’ve been part of and the ways they continue to create, collaborate, and build community through art.
The conversation is such an easy listen and a meaningful watch, featuring media clips, powerful monologues from our actors, and montages from past productions that highlight the range, heart, and production value of our work.
At its core, this episode is about art, belonging, history, and community, and the pride that comes from telling our stories in our own voices.
Before October begins, we invite you to watch The Art of Belonging and join us in kicking off Filipino American History Month with reflection, celebration, and pride.
Please tune in, and be sure to like, follow, and subscribe. Also, check out our Chicago FAHM calendar in celebration of Filipino American History Month for more upcoming events and programs.
Maraming salamat to our friend Rocio at CAN TV, Chi 21, and to Carina and RJ for bringing us such a lovely and meaningful conversation.
