Kilusan Bautista will present “Universal Self,” a solo multimedia production that explores personal/cultural identity in urban America using spoken word, poetry, martial arts and hip hop. Bautista has performed “Universal Self” worldwide.
Before the 1990's dot.com boom in The Bay Area, California, there exists an immigrant Filipino family raising American born children. Kilusan Bautista is an artistic middle child who discovers his creative sensibilities through Hip Hop, Martial Arts and Theatre during his father’s battles with drug addiction. Surrounded by friends caught up in gangs and crime, Kilusan stands at the crossroads of life where he is confronted with his “UNiVERSALself.”
Bautista received the Outstanding Artist Award by the Filipino American National Historical Society of Metro NY in 2012, and the Congressional Community Service Award by California Senator Tom Lantos in 2006.
This event is part of Mission College Library’s Asian American Speaker Program and is sponsored by a Federal Department of Education Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution (AANAPISI) Title III Grant.
