I Am Today's Filipino documents the many stories of present-day Filipinos, one-hundred years after the first significant wave of Filipino migration to the U.S. This exhibit provides an intimate glimpse into the individual lives and experiences that reflect the collective story of the Filipino community in 2006. It preserves a moment in the current history of Filipinos in America and encourages a greater awareness of the many contributions that Filipinos have made and continue to make to the U.S. Through the artistic display of photos and video, this original exhibit celebrates the diversity of the Filipino community while recognizing the rich cultural heritage and traditions shared among all Filipinos. This is an official project of the Los Angeles/Southern California Filipino American Centennial Planning Committee in partnership with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program.
