Get ready to dive into the vibrant celebration of Filipino culture! Join us at the Halo Halo Merkado and the exclusive Halo Halo Opening Reception at The Confluence Historic
Site & Parkland for an unforgettable experience as we kick off Asian Heritage Month in true Filipino style!

Halo Halo (pronounced haa · low, haa ·low), “mixed” in Tagalog, is a multimedia showcase that delves into the intricate ways migration shapes the identities of first-generation Filipinos in Canada. Through creative storytelling, animation, and both digital and traditional visual arts like printmaking, Halo Halo works to capture the journey of adaptation and belonging.

The exhibition features Harvey Nichol, Moses (Moey) Aquino, Euniz Brown, and Salvacion Atay as they speak about their life in their adopted country and its impact on their identity. Accompanied by an animated luggage carousel video containing an extensive list of Filipino migrants to Alberta since the 1960s (courtesy of the Philippine Art Council); Halo Halo provides a holistic perspective of identity and belonging among first-generation Filipinos in Canada.

Halo Halo opens on Friday, Feb. 7, 2025 and runs until Sunday, July 27, 2025 at The Confluence.
