Join us for our last Linda Visions program, "Labor of Love", where we will celebrate the legacy of Linda Mabalot and explore the profound impact of her work within the Filipino American community. The evening will consist of a gallery hour of the "Howzit!" Exhibit, a listening party of the "Quiet Thunder" radio show, a curated film program from our VC Archives, and a post-screening discussion with the audience to reflect on the media. Join us on Thursday, October 26th for our last Linda Visions program!

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

6PM

Howzit: The Linda Mabalot Effect (Gallery Hour)
“Quiet Thunder” Radio Show

7PM

“The Making of Quiet Thunder” 
Inspired by the book "America is in the Heart", Linda Mabalot and VC produced QUIET THUNDER, a feature narrative based on the experiences of Carlos Bulosan and the many Filipino farmworkers he represented. QUIET THUNDER sheds light upon the rarely acknowledge history of Pilipinos in America from 1930’s to 1950’s.

“Manong” (1978)
MANONG is recognized as one of the first titles in the VC archives to articulate the stories of Filipino Americans, and is considered an essential starting point for those eager to learn the story of Filipinos in America. Director Linda Mabalot's narration, combined with archival images, stop-motion animation, water-color paintings, and poignant interviews with Filipino American older immigrants distinguishes MANONG as a pioneering introduction to an Asian Pacific American community whose narrative mirrors other immigrant groups who arrived to fill a void in America's labor and service sectors.
