Gallery Information

This work reflects on de Poto's childhood experience of dancing in a Hawaiian dance company. She believes that her interactions with the dance form are largely due to the Filipino community of women who taught her how to dance hula. "While my recollection of this specific group is fading, I still recall my experience with the dance company to be the most formative experience in understanding my Filipino identity."
