‘Trabaj/ho’ to showcase works of Filipino and Latino artists

“No Partaking” / CAM Exhibit

OXNARD, California – Carnegie Art Museum Studio Gallery presents Trabaj/ho an “exhibition highlighting the shared experiences, history, and struggles between Filipinx and Latinx communities” on Oct. 3 to Nov. 16 at 329 N. Fifth Street, Oxnard.

Trabajo and Trabaho both mean  “work” in Spanish and Filipino respectively. This crossover of language is a result of each culture’s history of Spanish colonization. ‘Trabaj/ho’ aims to highlight “how contemporary artists of Latinx and Filipinx descent are unpacking many shared residual influences from Spanish colonization and what these common experiences mean to them in their contemporary lives in America.”
