Nancy Hom I-Hotel MANILATOWN Mandala Opening Reception
Join us for a vibrant evening celebrating Nancy Hom's art at the I-Hotel Mandala Opening Reception - a must-see event!
Manilatown Heritage Foundation is pleased to welcome back Nancy Hom, a mandala installation artist and longtime supporter of the International Hotel, who will be creating a 6-foot floor mandala to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the International Hotel Manilatown Center.
It will premiere on October 25, 5-8 pm
It will be on view during our Wednesdays-Sundays 1-6pm gallery hours from October 25 - November 30th.
The I-Hotel was more than a hotel; it was a cultural hub, a clearinghouse, and a place to call home for the mostly elderly Filipinos who lived there. The tenants, including the community organizations on the ground floor, fought valiantly for low-income housing until their brutal eviction in 1977. Photos of events in both the past I-Hotel and the new International Hotel Manilatown Center will be shown in the mandala, as well as fabricated items that reflect the cultural activities at the Center.
