Halo Halo (pronounced haa · low, haa ·low)
Halo Halo, “mixed” in Tagalog, is a multimedia showcase that delves into the intricate ways migration shapes the identities of first-generation Filipinos in Canada. Through creative storytelling, animation, and both digital and traditional visual arts like printmaking, Halo Halo works to capture the journey of adaptation and belonging.
The exhibition features Harvey Nichol, Moses (Moey) Aquino, Euniz Brown, and Salvacion Atay as they speak about their life in their adopted country and the impact it has on their identity. Accompanied by an animated luggage carousel video containing an extensive list of Filipino migrants to Alberta since the 1960s (courtesy of the Philippine Arts Council); Halo Halo provides a holistic perspective of identity and belonging among first-generation Filipinos in Canada.
During Chinook Blast (January 31st–February 17th, 2025), the Halo Halo Exhibition will be officially on display at The Confluence and available for viewing during their weekend operational hours starting Friday, February 7th!
