In Tagalog, ingat has multiple meanings that speak to the realities of migrant domestic workers – goodbye, take care, caution and gentleness. In Bahasa, ingat means ‘to remember’. We are celebrating the publication of Ingat: An Anthology of Works by Migrant Domestic Worker Creatives in Hong Kong, a collaboration with the Migrant Writers of Hong Kong and Lensational, with a transnational workshop with Nicole Nepomuceno, a writer, researcher, curator, artist, educator and community organizer based in Hong Kong. Nicole will be sharing her method of using annotations as a generative site for diasporic creative writing. Participants in Hong Kong and Vancouver will have the opportunity for co-creation through annotating migrant and diasporic creative writing from both cities.
The workshop will be hybrid (online and in-person). In Vancouver, participants have the option of attending the workshop at the UBC Learning Exchange, 612 Main Street, Vancouver. Food and beverages will be provided during the workshop. Online participants will receive a Zoom link upon registration.
