Great news, folks! I've been blessed with the good fortune to guest-curate an afternoon of films and theater at San Francisco Main Library, in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution's traveling exhibition. Read on to see what the excitement is all about... Thanks!
BEYOND MANNY AND MARCOS
Celebrating Filipino American History Month, San Francisco Public Library presents "Beyond Manny and Marcos", a showcase of far-out Filipino American short films and theater curated by Anthem Salgado, in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution’s traveling exhibit “Singgalot (The Ties That Bind), Filipinos in America, from Colonial Subjects to Citizens”.
From the Pacific islands to San Francisco’s SoMa district, fairytales to psychotic fantasies, this collection highlights unique tales by Filipino American artists from the fringe. Beyond pop-culture and political icons (sometimes being one in the same) like boxing super-hero Manny Pacquiao or martial law super-villain Ferdinand Marcos, this collection of films and performances delivers a versatile range of content and craft in the exploration of the future of the Filipino American narrative.

ABOUT THE SMITHSONIAN’S SINGGALOT EXHIBITION
The San Francisco Public Library is proud to announce the opening of the exhibition, Singgalot (The Ties That Bind), on August 14, in the Main Library, Jewett Gallery. The exhibition, which will be on view through October 24, celebrates 100 years of the Filipino American experience with photographs, images and historical documents drawn from the National Archive, the Library of Congress and personal collections. The exhibition also honors Filipino American History Month in October, which was designated by the California State Assembly last year and commemorates the period of the year in which the first Filipinos arrived in the U.S. Singgalot (The Ties That Bind) was developed by the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program and organized for travel by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service.
Hope those of you in the Bay can bear witness. I appreciate you taking a moment to see what I'm up to and helping me spread the word!
Sincerely,
Anthem
