TALK STORY: LAND IS LIFE

Date: 2016

Location: East Portland

Collaborators: Portland Committee for Human Rights in the Philippines

TALK STORY: LAND IS LIFE was an interactive series consisting of three workshops utilized as an alternative means of education for our community. It culminated into a cultural solidarity night featuring a documentary highlighting migrant stories and the organizing work being done to encourage rising up for self-determination and liberation in Portland and in the Philippines. The project connected displacement of peoples in gentrified areas in Portland, specifically in the Jade District, to global issues of displacement taking place specifically within the Philippines.
