Kamustahan

Kamustahan (Filipino for how is it going?) is an art project and online space hosting conversations surrounding the experiences of Filipino migrant workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It’s a make-and-share space, convened digitally, where Filipino artists lead migrants in the UK, Hong Kong and Taiwan (thus far) through guided arts activities and discussions.

Our website, along with our serve as an archive of the artworks produced from our workshops and a platform where the public can be invited to join the conversations.

Kamustahan is an extension of the AHRC-funded Curating Development project. Kumustahan is supported by the Connections through Culture Programme of British Council.
