Incinerator Gallery
Celline Mercado, Jermaine Ibarra and Justyne Allen
Ako ay may kaibigan, kasama ko kahit saan (I have a friend; where I go, they go)
In this exhibition, the concept of the shadow symbolises the lingering spectres of colonial history that follow the Filipino diaspora—Australia’s fifth-largest migrant community. Artists Celline Mercado, Jermaine Ibarra, and Justyne Allen engage with familiar symbols of domesticity and architecture—the bed, the window, the TV—to explore Filipino identity, cultural visibility, and ancestral legacy.
