Overview

Isabel and Alfredo Aquilizan create works that use the processes of collecting and collaborating to express ideas of migration, family and memory. Often working with local communities, the Aquilizans bring together personal items to compose elaborate, formal installations reflecting individual experiences of dislocation and change.

Join the Aquilizans as they discuss their Sharjah Biennial 11 Mabini Art Project, a commentary on the status conferred to artists and paintings often considered low brow and kitsch found in the tourist belt of downtown Manila, a district within the environs of Mabini Street.
