The terno holds our colonized history as a people in its pleats. Fashion has always been an extension of our identity and no storytelling through textile is more layered than this iconic sleeve in our culture. This is an invitation to subvert the seams, gather with the creative community, and reinspire ourselves with bold interpretations of filipinana-americana, as we explore diasporic identity + Imelda’s dark legacy through the terno.

Join Mumu SF for an artists’ reception and visual conversation about fashion as identity.
