The Pearl: A Filipino Cultural showcase at Miracle Thieves
The Filipino community in Toronto is getting a lot of buzz lately. And I don’t think the buzz is simmering down anytime soon! A quick shout-out goes out to the good folks at Miracle Thieves, who are hosting a Filipino Cultural showcase this weekend.
The week-long celebration starts tomorrow, Thursday April 26, and goes on until May 2, 2012.
Representing The Philippines through visuals, sounds, tastes and knowledge are the following exhibiting artists: Jo SiMalaya Alcampo, Michaela Cruz, Jodinand Aguillon, Alex Felipe, Eric Quebral, CMango Design, Pacific Blues, Sammy Jade, The Original Fiddy, Jen Maramba, Pinoy Culture Bookstore, Lamesa Filipino Kitchen, Centre for Babaylan Studies, Kapwa 3 Conference (Baguio, Philippines) and more.
According to Statistics Canada, Filipino-Canadian youth are not, on average, doing well in education and employment after they leave high school. Members from the Filipino Youth Transitions in Canada project are conducting research to find out why this is so.
Initial findings from the research bring to light issues facing Filipino-Canadian youth such as religion; relationships with parents and peers; discrimination; as well as challenges to belonging.
On Saturday, March 3rd, in partnership with Kapisanan, FYTiC will be hosting an intimate showcase featuring Filipino Canadian spoken-word artists, playwrights, and visual artists. These artists will be showcasing artwork that speak to the research themes and what it means for them to grow up “Canadian”.
We invite you to take part in this community event!
