The Filipino American Historical Society of Chicago Museum: Foundations of a Community’s Memory
@ Mana Contemporary
2233 S Throop St, Studio 316, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Saturday, October 19th, from 10AM - 5PM
On view through Saturday, March 22nd
Opening on October 19: “Foundations of a Community’s Memory” is inspired by the legacy of the Filipino American Historical Society of Chicago’s founder, Estrella Ravelo Alamar (1936-2022); it is also a celebration of her archival estate’s new beginnings at the Mana Contemporary Chicago. This exhibit was made possible by the hard work of the FAHSC members and the support from outside cultural and historical communities in the Chicago area, therefore standing as a testament to the generational impact of Estrella and what can be achieved when we come together to preserve history and build towards new futures. The pieces showcased in this new space are a small but powerful representation of the vibrant collection, and can inspire us all to continue preserving, researching, cultivating, and dreaming.
