Celebrate Mother's Day Saturday at the Guam Museum with the film, "Mothering Guahan"
CHamoru director Leiana San Agustin Naholowa'a's "Mothering Guahan" will be shown Saturday, May 13, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. at the Guam Museum Indoor Theater in celebration of Mother's Day. Inspired by mothers, created for mothers, and celebrating the mother centered-ness of CHamoru culture, "Mothering Guahan" weaves the voices of different generations of mothers to make up this powerful perspective on CHamoru feminine identity, empowerment and authority. Seating for the film is free, however, limited.
The Guam Museum invites the community to also visit the current exhibition, "CHamoru Yu': Perspective on CHamoru Identity" during its final stretch before it closes. For more information about this and other events, contact the Guam Museum at 989-4455 or visit http://guammuseum.org.
