Theresa N. Kenney (she/her/siya) is Pilipinx of mixed Kapampangan and European descent from Mohkinstsis (Calgary, Alberta) in Treaty 7 Territory. She is a PhD candidate in the Department of English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University where she studies asexual, aromantic, and platonic intimacies within queer Asian North America. She is an anti-racism activist, a mixed media artist, a social media user, and a lover of cake. Theresa’s art practice lately considers intergenerational Pilipina/x relationality in-and-through Kapampangan ways of being, knowing, and relating.

Artist Statement: This piece takes from a recent talk I gave on Asian resistance. Through collage, words, and illustration this postcard engages with Mingat (Kapampangan) or Ingat (Tagalog) as a way of relating that is deeply Pilipinx in that its radical relational modes are not translatable to white ways of relating. At the same time, it reflects on purposeful omissions that refuse to fully translate or explain these Pilipinx modes of care and relation.
