The 90’s: Phillipine National Day, Seaton Park
Kwentong Bayan Collective is a collective of two Toronto-based artists, Althea Balmes and Jo SiMalaya Alcampo. Their work explores critical and intersectional approaches to community-based art, labour, and education. They are currently developing a comic book, Kwentong Bayan: Labour of Love, in close collaboration with caregivers, advocates, and community allies about the real life stories of Filipinx migrant care-givers working in Canada under the Care-giver Program (formerly known as the Live-in Caregiver Program).
