DESCRIPTION:
Join us at the USC Pacific Asia Museum for an evening of storytelling, cultural reflection, and fashion celebrating the complexities of Filipinx American identity. In a conversation moderated by Eleanor Lipat-Chesler of the Ube Arte collective, fashion designers Marybelle Bustos and Lydia Querian will explore the challenges of cultural preservation and the power of fashion as a form of storytelling and, at times, resistance.
Following the discussion, a fashion show of traditional and contemporary attire featuring Bustos and Querian’s brands, Bárû Mu and Elle Karayan, will highlight cultural roots and evolving expressions of Pinoy diasporic identity.
