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.
