Abstract
This interview with Caroline Cabading, Executive Director of the Manilatown Heritage Foundation, was conducted by Jan English-Lueck as part of the Mosaic Atlas project. Caroline identifies with the Filipino San Francisco community. For over 20 years she has been studying and performing music and dance from different Filipino groups, particularly those from the southern Philippines and the Maguindanao people. She blends pre-colonial Filipino music and dance, such as Kalanduyan music with jazz. Topics discussed include efforts to preserve and share Filipino American history, the history of Manilatown, the historic 20th-century anti-eviction protests at the International Hotel (I-Hotel), and the importance of educating youth. As part of the Mosaic Atlas project, Mosaic Staff and Volunteers, SJSU students, and faculty from the Anthropology and Film, Theater, and Dance Departments interviewed people who support and produce art throughout the Bay Area.
