Founded in 1999 and formerly known as Sigaw ng Bayan, Radyo Kapwa is an inclusive Filipino/a/x community and cultural radio show that celebrates the diversity and difference of people with roots to the Philippines. With three historical colonial invasions, multiple waves of migration worldwide, and over 7000 islands, we recognize and honour that Filipino/a/x/s are not a monolith. We provide a wide range of programming, music, and discussion topics to reflect this diversity.

Radyo Kapwa aims to share their platform with grassroots community organisers and organisations, as well as interviews with inspiring members of our community. Our framework is based on values rooted in decolonization, and restorative and transformative justice. Our mission is to create an anti-patriarchal, anti-racist, anti-homophobia, anti-transphobia, faith inclusive, non-ableist, trauma-informed space.

July 26, 2023: Ep. 52: Sarah Gonzales, Artist & Illustrator

For today’s broadcasting, we are thrilled to have Sarah Gonzales on our show. She was born in Saudi and settled in Alberta, Canada with her family at a very young age. Her art and/or works include working in the games industry and venturing in editorial illustrations as well as picture books. Stay tuned and listen to Sarah talk about her inspirations and how her art is her gateway to her authenticity.

Her first book that she illustrated, Maribel’s Year, is available to be purchased at Drawn & Quarterly located 211 rue Bernard Ouest (Mile End). This children’s book is a really a good representation and way to touch on the immigration experiences of Filipino diaspora.

We highly encourage you to support Sarah and her work. You can follow her Instagram @sgonzalesart and her website at @https://sgonzalesart.com/
