A note from Migu
Angel in a box for our exhibition @balikbayan_ — migumind (2026) and Archangel (2026).
So grateful to be exhibiting work for the first time in Melbourne, all praises go to the team @bamitssam @harelzfeliciano @jillarcenz for having me on board. I found it very enriching these past few days in Melbourne of sharing what it means to be Filipino in Australia, spanning our religious upbringings, to our fatty foods, our music to yearn to, our dance and song.
Seeing our generation of talented artists, producers, dancers, directors and filmmakers just makes me want to explore deeper in the craft as a visual artist and designer. In a city that breathes patience, whispers to me a reminder that the world is abundant both inside and out.
All while having fun XD
Here’s some pictures we took to exhibit the beautiful people that pulled up 💥🇵🇭
