Shop World

A visual arts exhibition inspired by the vibrant experience of shopping at a Philippine produce market, known in Tagalog as palengke. Through painting and installation, it reimagines the tactile, sensory act of ‘shop browsing’ as a space for play and imagination. Featuring works by artists based in the Philippines, it highlights creative makers who express their unique, multilayered identities through art and street culture. The project also marks the launch of Palengke Girl, with interactive demonstrations of screen printing and airbrush painting. Curated by Aida Azin, this deeply personal project is rooted in cultural connection and joy.

All currencies are welcome in this shop, including gold and counterfeit $50 notes.
