Illustrating History: Ren Galeno's Path to Becoming a Pulitzer Finalist When I first read "Searching For Maura" in the Washington Post last year,
it really made me sit up. It’s not every day that such a prestigious
publication dives into a Filipino historical story with an illustrated
approach, and the choice of Ren Galeno—a Filipina artist from Davao—to
create the art for it was deeply significant. The way Ren used her art to
highlight the injustices faced by Filipinos at the 1904 World's Fair
brought an emotional layer to the narrative that written words alone could
not have conveyed.
