About the Artists

Maile Arvin grew up in both Richmond, Kentucky and on Oahu in Hawaii. She feels most at home in stiflingly hot summers. Yet despite the mild weather, she has been happy to call the Bay Area home for the last two years. Her day job is at the Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center, a nonprofit health center providing education and support to Asians & Pacific Islanders living with or at-risk for HIV/AIDS. In the fall, she will become a graduate student in Ethnic Studies at UC San Diego. She is a reluctant academic, but as a hapa Native Hawaiian, she is excited to pursue research on the ways race gets talked about (or, more often, silenced) in Hawaii. She will forever remember lying on KSW's floor during Genny and Octavio's last workshop, laughing and laughing as the other IWL participants chanted, sung and screamed her name.

Carlo Sciammas.  It feels like everything in my life that came before my kids is a rich, black and white photo of another person in another life.  I can see the snapshots when I close my eyes.  The expressions are unmistakable – a grin, sparkling eyes, spirited, with lots of self doubt, walking in the shadows of generations past.  I come from an immigrant family and am the youngest son of a Turkish mother and Egyptian father.  My sons Nicolo Baraka and Luca Habib, along with long time partner Laura, brother Roger, and momma and poppa are my everyday heroes.  I have been writing in my free time all of my life.  These days, I try to get in a word or two in between changing diapers and drawing with sidewalk chalk.  In my working life, I am a community organizer with ¡PODER!, an environmental and economic justice organization based in the Mission District.
