For International Womxn's Day, we are launching new work that examines the 150+ year history of care work performed by racialized women in Canada, including Live-in Caregivers
We created this artwork for Remember | Resist | Redraw - a radical history poster project produced by the Graphic History Collective (GHC) that aims to intervene in the Canada 150 conversation. Collectively, we hope to encourage people to critically examine history in ways that can fuel our radical imaginations and support struggles for radical change. Thank you to Dr. Ethel Tungohan, GHC and all the caregivers, advocates and community allies whose support makes our work possible. |

Imaginings Project: Comics and the Anthropological Imagination
Thanks to curator Stacy Leigh Pigg and Cristina Moretti at the Centre for Imaginative Ethnography for featuring Kwentong Bayan: Labour of Love in the “Imaginings Project: Comics and the Anthropological Imagination”.
Imaginings is a new space for projects which aim to disrupt, disturb, enrage, muddle; a generative space to think about new and old questions, in new and sometimes old ways.

Graphic History Project
Kwentong Bayan's contribution to the Graphic History Project is a 10 page mini-comic consisting of five double-page spreads that highlight key turning points in the history of the Live-in Caregiver Program. We will expand on these storylines in our full-length comic, Kwentong Bayan: Labour of Love which is currently under production. The style of these "splash pages" are inspired by Filipino comic book illustrator and writer, Francisco V. Coching (1919-1998).
