Abang-guard’s Little Manila Monuments - Little Manila Ave. (2023) will be on view in the More Than Lumpia exhibition curated by Cesar Conde at the Epiphany Center for the Arts from October 6 - November 17.
As Filipino cuisine gains recognition, More Than Lumpia explores Filipino-American identity, socio-cultural experience, and politics behind the lens of visual art. The exhibition aims to address and challenge the underrepresentation of Filipino-American artists in the art community. Despite being the second-largest Asian group in the United States, Filipino-Americans have often been overlooked and marginalized in mainstream art institutions. By exploring the Filipino-American experience through visual arts, this exhibit aims to challenge stereotypes, promote representation, and foster a more inclusive art community.
