Alfredo & Isabel Aquilizan - In-Habit: Project Another Country
22 June - 25 August 2012 

This exhibition intertwined two stories of displacement and resilience of the Badjao, or 'sea gypsies', in the Philippines. The first referred to the Badjao's precarious stilt settlements that evolve and expand in response to the vagaries and vicissitudes of life on the edge. In the SCAF gallery space, a cacophony of mismatched removal boxes became an improvised shanty town, supported by steel scaffolding that stretches from floor to ceiling. (Extract from Felicity Fenner's catalogue essay, 'Tallstoria').

Why we funded this project: The Nelson Meers Foundation is delighted to be supporting the Culture+Ideas series at the Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation (SCAF).
