Ingat Kayo! Artist Panel Discussion

Ingat Kayo! is a group exhibition featuring five Filipino youth artists: Aurora Yol, Luigi Pulido, Sophia Santos English, and Khim Mata Hipol, curated by Geraldine Lim Yaris.

Join us for an Artist Panel Discussion on Saturday, February 14, 2026 at 2–3:30 PM.

Following the amazing success of their opening night, this panel delves into their collective journey together as the first Balikbayan Project Cohort and as featured artists for the program’s culminating exhibition. Ingat Kayo! (Take care!) is a common Tagalog phrase shared amongst loved ones and oftentimes the last thing you hear before leaving home and embarking on a new journey.

The Balikbayan Project was programming series that provided an opportunity for the youths to commune, grieve, and respond to the continued need for a physical space in the Filipino community while exploring themes tied to their own unique identities and artistic practices from within the diaspora. Balikbayan, meaning to return to one’s country, refers to the practice of shipping goods from overseas Filipinos back to their families and signifies the return of youth to their own roots through culture, community, acts of care, sharing, and resourcefulness.
