Youth Empowerment / Hangad ng Kabataang Pilipino

The FilipinX Kasaganaan Artist Collective created two public murals to showcase FilipinX community and culture. Following three sessions of community engagement with FilipinX women, youth and an Indigenous elder, the group collected ideas for the two murals. The theme for both was empowerment, and the resulting two murals in Kensington and Crescent Heights were contracted to local artists.

Each mural has an English and Tagalog name. The mural in Kensington is named Women Empowerment — Katatagan ng Kababaihan, while this mural is titled Youth Empowerment — Hangad ng Kabataang Pilipino.

As the murals were being painted, community members expressed excitement over the project, local FilipinX aunties and uncles volunteered during the painting process, and bypassers from the community were happy to see their culture and history represented.
