About the project from Esy’s site: “A contemplation on the meanings of movement in the migration experience: the grace and skill of a Filipina domestic worker are juxtaposed with devotional dances to the Santo Niño statue that Magellan brought to the islands in 1521. The ensuing galleon trade of silk and porcelain for New World silver initiated the global economy, and the cycle where female care labor is now the commodity in demand. Supported by a NYSCA Individual Artist grant, The Creative Work Fund, Filipino Advocates for Justice, The Princess Grace Foundation USA, The Asian Womens’ Giving Circle, and the Ms. Foundation.”
