Arkipeligos of Queer Resistance: A Queer Filipino Poetry Reading + Workshop
About The Event
Join the Day Eight community at Global Pride, Saturday, May 31, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library for a queer Filipino poetry reading and workshop, hosted and moderated by Regie Cabico with Reg Ledesma and Nico Penaranda.
DC’s Liwanag / Filipino Book Festival organizers and queer poets will perform poems of the ever-evolving struggle to come out as queer, bisexual, non-binary and how their lives are impacted during the current administration. Their poems address resilience as Filipino Americans and the ways they find themselves fractured like the archipelago of their ancestry. Participants will be given a writing prompt connected to the reading, and an opportunity to share their work in a nurturing environment.
