WAKE is a queer post-colonial performance ritwal* for grieving and healing (*a term colonized on Philippine tongues as ritual). Created in collaboration with a coalition of experimental Filipinx creatives including installation artist Carlo Maghirang, sound artist Micaela Tobin, and fashion house Vinta Gallery, WAKE excavates identity, ancestry, and the complexities of the Filipinx diaspora. This performance-ritwal provides communities born in the wake of the U.S. empire an opportunity to grieve, heal, and find solace in the collective.
