My Baryo, My Borough... uses art and creativity to celebrate the Filipino/Filipino-American community in Queens, NY. Through public art programs and creative story sharing, we welcome the broader NYC community in celebrating Queens through the Filipino / Filipino American lens. Central to the project is a community-based oral history collection intended to document and share the local history of the Filipino Community in Queens, NY. The oral history project invites community members to actively participate in the documentation and sharing of their history and offers support in its archival. My Baryo, My Borough... culminates in a multidisciplinary public sharing of the collected stories and community generated art in Dec. 2015.
