MAKIBAKA: A Living Legacy boldly celebrates the culture, contributions, and presence of the Filipino community in the South of Market (SoMa) neighborhood and Bay Area. Presented by SOMA Pilipinas in collaboration with YBCA, and inspired by the Filipino term for collective resistance, MAKIBAKA brings together contemporary artworks alongside community-held objects, memories, and movements.
The exhibition showcases remarkable intergenerational creative expression which defies easy categorization. The exhibition is timed to coincide with beloved community festivals, Pistahan and the Parol Lantern Festival, both returning to YBCA this fall. MAKIBAKA, co-curated by SOMA Pilipinas and Trisha Lagaso Goldberg, features artists including Erina Alejo, Kimberly Acebo Arteche, Rea Lynn de Guzman, England Hidalgo, Joanna Poethig, Weston Teruya, Lucille Tenazas, and more.
