Kwento’t Litrato is a collaborative photo-documentary project that shares diverse stories of success, struggle, and everything in between as seen by members of the Filipino migrant community in Alberta.
This is the culmination of a series of storytelling-oriented photography workshops organized by MIGRANTE in Edmonton and Calgary between May and August 2019. Through these workshops, participants connected as community, learned about arts-based storytelling, and collaborated to weave together our lived experiences, as inter-connected narratives. Challenge assumptions. Dig deeper. Think critically. Explore the roots of migration. Ask questions. Be with the people, celebrate the victories, and be one in solidarity with the struggles of migrants. We invite you to connect with our Filipino community in Alberta through the lens of these 17 interconnected exhibitions. How does your story connect with the stories shown here?
