Unwrapping Lumpia: Deconstructing the Filipino American Identity
@ Epiphany Center for the Arts
201 S Ashland Avenue, Chicago
Opening Friday, September 20th, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Friday, November 8th
Unwrapping Lumpia: Deconstructing the Filipino American Identity is presented in true “Bayanihan Spirit” by Conde Art Project, Epiphany Center for the Arts, Likhaya, and Sinag Chicago Arts. Unwrapping Lumpia features the work of thirty-eight Filipino American artists in an exhibit that delves into the complexities of Filipino American identity and the experiences of individuals within this community. In celebration of Filipino American Heritage Month in October, the exhibit provides a platform for Filipino American artists to explore and express their personal journeys and reflections on identity. Through artistic expression, participants share their perspectives on what it means to be Filipino American, how their cultural heritage influences their lives, and how they navigate their identities in the diverse socio-political landscape of America.
Unwrapping Lumpia: Deconstruction of Filipino American Identity is the sequel to the successful art show More Than Lumpia during Filipino American History Month 2023. Lumpia is a popular traditional dish made of different ingredients, texture, and complex flavor. Much like Filipino Americans.
