Revisiting our mural at Old Dominion Univeristy.This is a milestone for all of us as it marks the first exterior mural on campus honoring the contributions of Filipino Americans in Hampton Roads. The mural serves as a permanent public acknowledgment of our history, labor, and cultural presence within the university landscape, addressing longstanding gaps in representation and visibility.The project is led by Dr. Luisa Igloria, Poet Laureate of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and is developed in collaboration with the Filipino American community in Hampton Roads. The initiative is supported by Old Dominion University’s Department of English, ODU Arts Department, and the Gordon Art Galleries, whose partnership advances the university’s commitment to public scholarship, cultural equity, and community engagement.Thank you! @poetslizard @oduartsletters @oduenglish @oduarts @odu_art.ed @craftethnography @c.buckminster @gordonartgalleries @oduglobal @annemuraoka Video and edited by🎥 Ted Gournelos (@ttg2046 )and Daniel Ohene Adu#mural #filipino #art #odu #streetart

Bit of a late post— I just happened on this in a FB Group I’m a member of. Apparently one of my poems (from CAULBEARER, Black Lawrence Press) is among the “Special Mention” poems (among many excellent poets) in THE 2025 PUSHCART PRIZE Anthology and wasn’t informed (same with a lot of other poets).
