#engl480 "No i'm Canadian" "No i'm Filipina" Can sooo relate! I saw three versions of myself in each character too, and tbh guilty of reverting back to these versions depending on environment too

Home here vs home elsewhere - "Kelan ka uuwi?" (when are you going home?) Constantly being asked this by friends and it always perplexes me. Which home? #engl480

@_jeeuh I feel ya! Theres a student directed ACAM seminar for next term about A Question of Filipino Identity! Might be of interest~

[Jo @jo480]

@jooliagoolia08 Yes agree! I didn't know that pageants weren't a big deal elsewhere until i moved here! Was shocked that it didn't make headlines #engl480

or wake, as in to wake up... Detective asks later in the piece, "Is this a dream that you have?" #engl480

[Jo @jo480]

Also curious about the choice of title "Wake." Wake as in a funeral, to commemorate the lady's death, the subject of the art piece #engl480

[Jo @jo480]

Reminds me of DMC where Lee carefully weaves history and storytelling together... #engl480

[Jo @jo480]

The detective searches for the truth, while Mrs. Takasaki searches through her memories. Blur between these in Takasaki's account #engl480

[Jo @jo480]

"How does one know if you are telling the truth, Mrs. Takasaki?" Questions of where do truth and memory intersect. #engl480

[Jo @jo480]

Lots of thoughts about Mochizuki's "Wake"... #engl480

#AllOurFathersRelations unafraid to open up the conversations around mental health brought by legislative racial discrimination #engl480

[Jo @jo480]

"I unfortunately carry three names." Interesting use of words, 'unfortunate', as if our identities are a weight to be carried? #engl480
