This talk by Elissa “E” Domingo Badiqué, PhD candidate in the Department of Performing and Media Arts at Cornell University, examines Filipinx mimicry as a powerful myth-making medium. Badiqué asserts that by reproducing racialized masculine iconography through the “splendid dancing” of aspirational Asian male figures, Filipinx have established a decades-long repertoire of playful queer self-fashioning.
This event was hosted by the Southeast Asia Program at Cornell University, NYSEAN Partner.
