I am not thinking about one person in particular, but there are mass labor demonstrations occurring in Seoul right now demanding the expansion of social services (childcare, housing, healthcare); worker protections; and the nationalization of major industries, as well as the democratization of ROK's electoral processes. Wanting to carry these folx spirit & energies of resistance.

I'm choosing to bring my great grandma, Victoria Salazar, into this space. She was what I view as the matriarch of our family and I admire her strong, yet caring personality. - Hannah Dimaano

I'm bringing in my mom's family in Mashiko and memories of visiting them. It's a rural area with vaste land and traditional homes. I'm remembering gathering with a big group of cousins, aunts & uncles for holiday celebrations.

I’m bringing into this space my great grandmother, my A-tzo, who was 108 when she passed. She was our matriarch & immigrated to join the rest of our family when she was 75.

With South Asia being the area of the world with one of the most genocides per year, I'm calling all of those who have resisted against brahmin supremacy, and continue to do so, in lineage to whom I aspire to place my work. Through understanding the anti-brahminical tradition that has resisted caste supremacy and its violences, I hope to start a conversation with my ancestors about accountability in order to move towards healing and otherwise collective futurities.

I wanted to honor the ancestors that don't have a place or location--that have been ostracized by their communities, nations, etc.; who have been forgotten and or erased, because of their illegibility within a world that seeks to document and map, and by doing so, limit, experiences.

I also want to honor those of us who are seeking to be the ancestors who can be called upon--those of us who are thinking to ourselves what kind of ancestors do we want to be for our descendants given our own estranged relationship to our ancestors. Those of us who are seeking place as future ancestors.

I want to honor my great-grandparents who were in Tule Lake, CA during the incarceration camps and I want to honor that they resisted and were strong enough to persevere through all it all and return to SF to help restart the Nichi Bei Times

I am bringing my cousin into this space. She just had a baby last week! I just think of how COVID has really closed down borders and how it's hard to feel celebratory when COVID is still going strong.
