PDUB Productions

Today, KPFK’s radio show, Experience Talks, hosted by Connie Corley, aired an interview about the PDUB Harana Project. Public Matters Creative Director, Reanne Estrada, PDUB student, Xochilt Sanchez, Silver Lake Adult Day Health Care Center Program Director, Mila Anguluan-Coger, and Harana Mentor, Pedro Estrada, discussed how community members are working to reshape the way people experience the constant differentiation of the space and time they share.

LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW HERE!

On Saturday, March 27th, 2010, the Silver Lake Adult Day Health Care Center on Temple Street was filled with the romantic melodies of the traditional Filipino haranas or serenades. PDUB Youth and Elders from The Silver Lake Adult Day Health Care Center, dressed in traditional Filipino finery, put on a spirited performance for “Celebrating Our Ancestral Tree,” a benefit for the Center for Babaylan Studies organized by Mila Anguluan-Coger.

The culminating events for the first year of Pdub Productions, the collaborative digital media project exploring L.A.’s Historic Filipinotown between the Pilipino Workers Center, Public Matters, UCLA Remap and HyperCities were a resounding success. A steady crowd showed up, even on a 95 degree L.A. day. The day was action packed, highlighted by the debut of the Mobile Hi Fi Immigrant’s Guides, the inaugural run of PWC’s jeepney (our biggest and coolest mobile media device!), and a Barrio Fiesta to cap the evening.

Thank you to everyone who made this day a huge success.

A few highlights follow. And if you’re feeling generous, it’s never too late to support the next year’s project. Oh, actually, it’s this month. Yup, we’re starting up all over again.
