Erick Arguello

Tommy Wong

episode 31: Erick Arguello (Calle 24), Rachel Lastimosa (SOMA Pilipinas), &amp; Tommy Wong (Oakland Chinatown)We’ve got a supersized discussion this episode as we talk with three Bay Area cultural organizers who are helping to build resilient local neighborhoods that are grounded in communities of color: Erick Arguello from Calle 24 Latino Cultural District, Rachel Lastimosa of SOMA Pilipinas - the Filipino Cultural Heritage District, and Tommy Wong of the Oakland Chinatown Improvement Initiative. This panel, Keeping Our Space: Organizing Cultural Districts in the Bay Area, was recorded live at the Bayanihan Community Center in the heart of SOMA Pilipinas in early April as the final event in Art Practical’s Process + Practice + Progress series. In the course of our conversation, we talk about the history and context for the organizing happening in each neighborhood—what this means legislatively and culturally; the stakes of this work; and how communities are evolving and what it means to hold space to welcome in other people.
