About Me
- Worlds In Collision
- WORLDS IN COLLISION is an investigation of Filipino American culture and creativity as a model of hybridity, a way to examine colonial histories, and a means to explore contemporary phenomena such as transnationalism and globalization. This course was originated by Carlos Villa, and is now taught by Jenifer Wofford. It is part of the University of San Francisco's Yuchengco Philippine Studies Program and the Department of Visual Arts. This course is a survey of Filipino American artistic production, looking at visual art, literature, music, and performance. It provides the historic context for Philippine colonial history, and concludes with a focus on the contemporary Filipino American experience in the U.S. Through weekly journals, essays, arts projects and a final presentation, students will draw their own parallels and associations between colonial histories and contexts, contemporary artists, and their own relationship to Filipino American Arts Exploration as both writers and makers themselves.
