Lumpia Fusion: Filipino Americans at a Crossroads
@ Epiphany Center for the Arts
201 S Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60607
Opening Friday, September 19th, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Friday, November 14th
The Filipino American experience is a story of cultural fusion. With a heritage woven from Malay, Chinese, Spanish, American, and indigenous influences, Filipinos have cultivated a rich cultural tapestry. As immigrants, Filipino Americans have further diversified this vibrant heritage, creating a natural predisposition to adaptation and an appreciation of inter-cultural exchange. This has led to Filipino Americans often finding themselves at a crossroads, negotiating change while maintaining deep-rooted cultural connections. This experience provides fertile ground for artistic exploration.
Lumpia Fusion celebrates this fluid identity by encouraging bold experimentation and unexpected pairings. What new forms emerge when sound or movement intertwine with fabric? What groundbreaking creations can arise from a collaboration between a visual artist and a scientist? How can traditional techniques, such as wood carving, be reimagined through the lens of contemporary art? This exhibition celebrates the beauty that emerges from the fusion of minds and cultures, sparking meaningful conversations.
