ABOUT BAHAY ARCHIVE	It is archival, verbal, shared. It is finding reference points in conversation, in dialogue. It is the sound of lumpia frying in the kitchen, smells of adobo in the air before a party. It is the sound of your lola laughing, chairs squeaking closer to the dinner table. It is the tsismis around your aunties mahjong table. It is the whole family doing the cha-cha to “Todo, Todo, Todo” on the dance floor. It is dad drunk off of San Miguel, dancing off rhythm in your backyard. It is your parents forcing you to sing “The Greatest Love of All” on karaoke. It is asking for a translation and your mom shrugging “it doesn't translate.” It is honoring the ancestral narratives that exist within us.		istorya-istorya (re)imagines the Pilipinx/a/o identity through collective research and practice in conversation, food and play. Our work is guided by: Utang na loob—Gratitude for/to our motherland. Continuing the conversation with our ancestors to make space for diasporic ritual and future. Pakiramdam—Listening to your gut, a wholeness of self. A calling that guides us home. Koneksyon ng kapwa—Interconnectedness. A mutual understanding within inter- and multigenerational relationships. Acknowledging the expansiveness of our community, our narratives, and perspectives.
	Pilipinx American artists Alexis Convento (Berlin), Angeline Marie Michael Meitzler (NYC) and Jay Carlon (Los Angeles) come together to reconnect to their motherland as istorya-istorya. @istorya.istorya	BAHAY. Welcome home. Big family fiestas. Connecting through community. Ingredients as symbolism and personal history. #tsismis BAHAY paired recipes inspired by personal stories of each istorya-istorya collaborator with unique craft cocktails by Genever.
