Kamila Sediego

October 22nd, 2025

Haunted by questions of inheritance and the lingering ache of intergenerational trauma, Kamila Sediego explores the ways displacement and memory shape identity in Homecoming (Playwright Canada Press $18.95). The playwright and dramaturg examines how migration fractures—and sometimes mends—the ties between three generations of Filipina women separated by continents and silence. Moving between the Philippines and Canada, Homecoming weaves together humour, grief and cultural memory in a story that asks whether love can survive distance and time. A Filipinx settler based in Vancouver, Sediego’s ancestral roots trace back to Iloilo, Cebu and Manila and her work—including the ongoing project Engkanto—draws deeply from Filipinx folklore and spiritual safety. 9780369105790
