About this Event

"Ingat: An Anthology of Works by Migrant Domestic Worker Creatives in Hong Kong is a collection of creative writing, poetry, photography and visual art by members of the Migrant Writers of Hong Kong and Lensational. The collection was edited by Yvonne Yu, Christine Vicera and Julie Ham, designed by Daniella Bilo and published with Small Tune Press. The anthology considers the various meanings of ingat in Tagalog and Bahasa – to remember, carefulness, to say goodbye, caution, and to take care of. The book’s design evokes the balikbayan box familiar to many Filipino families and an iconic symbol of the care that migrant domestic workers send across borders to loved ones in their countries of origin. We hope that readers will receive the anthology in the same way that families receive balikbayan boxes, that is, with an understanding of the thought and care that has been put into the contents within."

The Centre for Southeast Asia Research, the Centre for Migration Studies, and the Hong Kong Studies Initiative are proud to sponsor this book talk featuring the three co-editors of Ingat—Julie Ham (Associate Professor at Brock University and current CMS Visiting Scholar), Christine Vicera (founder of Hong Kong-based community arts lab be/longing), and Yvonne Yevan Yu (writer and instructor at Hong Kong Baptist University)—and Mary Nemy Lou Rocio (the co-founder and president of Migrant Writers of Hong Kong).

This event will be held both in-person (for Vancouver-based attendees) and online via Zoom (for Hong Kong-based attendees). Food (Filipino cuisine) will be provided for in-person attendees.

Limited copies of the book will be available for purchase at this event. Copies may also be purchased online via this Google Form.
