BeLikha is pleased to present No Need to Export, a Filipino diaspora exhibition bringing together Filipino artists based in Belgium. <\/p>\n
The exhibition considers the pressure placed on diaspora communities to make themselves legible, to explain their humour, soften contradictions, package culture, and translate identity for an outside audience. <\/p>\n
No Need to Export turns away from that expectation. <\/p>\n
Across different practices, the participating artists engage memory, labour, faith, care, humour, desire, class, migration, and contradiction. The works do not attempt to offer a single image of Filipino identity. Instead, they make space for what may remain coded, intimate, excessive, sentimental, devotional, uncomfortable, or difficult to translate. <\/p>\n
What happens when Filipino artists do not perform culture as hospitality, nostalgia, decoration, or proof of integration? What becomes possible when meaning is allowed to remain partly untranslated? <\/p>\n
