studiyo filipino
studiyo filipino is a platform whose vision is to activate nuanced discourses on matters pertaining to the Philippines. Its innovative approach to the intercultural experience enables exchanges that provide a better understanding of our difference while exploring our shared humanity.
"studiyo filipino fosters dynamic exchanges on topics related to the Philippines. We counter exoticizations, racializing ideologies and false historical representations. Among other things, we work with museums to overcome colonial legacies of knowledge systems and practices, from collection and curation to broader issues of intercultural dialogue. The VMZ should make its Philippine collections accessible to the wider public and unveil Zurich's colonial entanglements. It is important that the museum collaborates with the concerned communities in equitable and just ways."
