Resistance in Residence Artist Aimee Suzara
Our Resistance in Residence artist this week is Oakland based poet, playwright, and performer Aimee Suzara. Photo Courtesy of https://www.aimeesuzara.net/ Aimee Suzara’s second full-length book Birth Language, centers on a Filipina-American time traveling through her history, twisted and haunted like the roots of a balete tree. The book fuses English, Spanish, and Tagalog. It employs archival texts from as early as the 1500s when European conquistadors and explorers encountered the pre-colonial Philippine islands. The collection celebrates a history of resistance, reclaiming and redefining the self-despite colonization, assimilation, and cultural loss.
