Trabaj/ho: Resistance Of A Colonial Imprint
Trabajo. Trabaho. Work in Spanish and Filipino, share every letter but one. While the meaning of the word remains ingrained in each culture鈥檚 history through an apparent shared crossover of language, there is more than what is on the surface of what work has been shared between these communities and the work that still remains.
Both Latinx-American and Filipinx-American communities share the colonial imprint left by the effects of Spanish Colonization. Trabaj/ho aims to highlight how contemporary artists of Latinx and Filipinx descent are decolonizing many of these shared residual systems from Spanish colonization and what these shared experiences mean to them in their contemporary lives in America.
