##  SPEAKER: Jewel Pereyra, Harvard University

 Examining the understudied poetic, theatrical and musical performances that emerged from transnational contacts between Filipina and Black women performers, this presentation adds to scholarship in Philippine and African American performance histories by centering Black and Filipina women’s relational experiences and collective artistry through an invocation of an “Afro-Filipina Chorus.”
