Date: Friday and Saturday, November 10-11, 2006 Location: Reception and conference at New York University, SCPS Conference Center, 2nd Floor, Woolworth Building, 15 Barclay Street, New York, NY 10038
Join A/P/A Institute at New York University in collaboration with Kundiman and the Centennial Planning Committee (Luis H. Francia, Bino A. Realuyo, Joseph O. Legaspi) on Friday night for an evening of readings and a celebration of a century of Filipino immigration to the U.S.
The kick-off reception on Friday and series of panels on Saturday will feature readings from some of the major Filipino writers across the U.S. and from New York City – to exchange stories, discuss ideas, and explore the varied meanings of literary texts. Just as important, the distinguished gathering will celebrate what has preceded us and the rich but ambivalent promise of what lies ahead.
