CATALINA CARIAGA
reading/workshop
Wednesday, February 18
7 pm
Mills Hall 322
free and open to the public
Long time Oakland resident, Catalina Cariaga is the author of Cultural Evidence (Subpress Collective, 1999). Her poems mix critique, history, autobiography, anecdote, and exploration of Filipina-American identity. Cultural Evidence is an intensely serious exploration of family and language, combining the uncanny authenticities of oral tradition and the most sophisticated mixed-use typeface technology, mirroring the diaspora of her family from the South Asian Pacific islands to California's rocky beaches and cities. Publisher’s Weekly notes about Cultural Evidence: “Whether deconstructing myths of anthropology’s objectivity, of ‘culture’ as defined by different, often incompatible world views, or self-sustaining myths of non-fluid time, nation, place or language, Cariaga’s passionate investigations provide ample evidence for their dispersal.”
