DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month\, join 
 SJSU King Library’s Africana\, Asian American\, Chicano\, & Native Ameri
 can (AAACNA) Studies Center and SJSU’s Asian American Studies\, in partn
 ership with the Lola x Kenneth Collaboration for the exhibit “Southeast 
 to East Side: A Filipino Family Story.” \n\nThis intimate exhibit featur
 es collaborative mixed-media works by Crescenciana Tan and her grandson\, 
 Kenneth Tan. When Kenneth returned home to San José to care for his lola
 —“grandmother” in Tagalog—they began creating art together as a wa
 y to honor their time\, their memories\, and each other.\n\nThrough waterc
 olor and drawing\, Crescenciana shares her life story—from her childhood
  in the Philippines to her later years in San José. A survivor of World W
 ar II and the Japanese occupation\, her paintings express loss\, resilienc
 e\, and healing. Layered over her work\, Kenneth carefully illustrates the
  stories she recounts—continuing this process until her passing.\n\nWhat
  remains is more than an exhibit. It is a declaration of love\, family\, a
 nd promise. Kenneth continues the work they began together\, completing he
 r unfinished pieces while navigating his own grief and remembrance.\n\nThi
 s intergenerational collection invites viewers to reflect on how art can h
 old memory\, carry stories forward\, and create space for healing across t
 ime.
