Sole Identity
Student Project (Not Published)
Immersive exhibition exploring the cultural and social significance of the Filipino tsinelas (flip-flops).

Featuring installations by Filipino artisans, photographs, and multimedia displays, Sole Identity invites visitors to step into the rich history and traditions of the Philippines while also confronting the social and economic realities that shape Filipino communities today. Designed as an interactive learning experience, the exhibition aims to bridge, educate, and celebrate the cultural heritage of the Filipino diaspora, particularly engaging Filipino immigrants, Filipino Americans, and Asian American communities in Northern California.
