Next Gen Filipinx Musicians
”7000 Miles: Homecoming”
featuring Ruby Ibarra
Next Gen Filipinx Musicians and the screening of 7000 Miles: Homecoming, is a documentary screening, conversation, and musical performance that delves into the captivating story of Ruby Ibarra, a Filipina-American rapper, and her pursuit of self-discovery through the medium of rap and hip-hop. Through this music event, we invite our audience to embark on a transformative journey alongside Ruby and the Balikbayans to navigate the intricate intersections of culture, identity, and social justice, and artistic passion.
At its core, 7000 Miles explores the universal human experience of seeking and embracing one's authentic self, even when faced with the challenges of societal expectations and cultural norms. The film is directed by Evelyn Obamos, and premiered at the CAAM Film Festival in 2020.
