Inside the Ethnic Studies Studio...Featuring Kiwi

March 20, 12:00pm - 1:15pm
Mānoa Campus, Webster #115

Kiwi, a hip hop artist and community organizer, will talk about his music, community activism, and screen the documentary film, Sounds of A New Hope, which illustrates his return to the Philippines on an “exposure trip.”

For nearly a decade, as a solo artist and member of the renowned and pioneering Filipino American rap group, Native Guns, Kiwi has been a mainstay in the independent hip hop scene, performing from California to New York all the way to the Philippines. Kiwi is also the Deputy Secretary General of BAYAN-USA, a national alliance of groups organizing for the rights and welfare of Filipinos both in the Philippines and the U.S. He was also previously involved with the San Francisco Committee for Human Rights in the Philippines which educates, organizes, and mobilizes people and communities in the Bay Area to take progressive action in upholding and supporting human rights in the Philippines and throughout the world.

Kiwi also worked with Health Initiatives for Youth, a San Francisco-based multicultural organization whose mission is to improve the health and well-being of underserved young people through innovative youth leadership, popular education and advocacy, in pursuit of multi-level social change, and Asian Communities for Reproductive Justice, which promotes and protects reproductive justice through organizing, building leadership capacity, developing alliances and education to achieve community and systemic change.
