Rolling Stone Philippines features Abang-guard and the Makibaka Exhibit

June 3, 2025

“As Abang-guard gets its first official solo museum show this year, it’s specifically the Filipino migrant histories that come to the fore. Their exhibition, Abang-guard: Makibaka, opened last March at the Queens Museum, which is located on the grounds where the New York World’s Fair (NYWF) was held from 1964 to 1965.

Abang-guard takes this charged temporal marker as a conceptual anchor. Ask them about it and they will give you an hours-long history lecture: It was also in 1965 when Filipino migrant farm workers like the labor leader Larry Itliong initiated the Delano Grape Strike in California, campaigning for higher wages and a retirement home. In that same year, the Hart-Celler Immigration and Nationality Act was signed, bringing a wave of Filipina nurses into American shores.” - Pristine de Leon
