KT4, in partnership with MOCA’s GTA24, presents Sasalubong (Tagalog for “will meet,” or “will welcome”), featuring the films and short video works of Kiri Dalena, A.S.M. Kobayashi, Mama’s Boy (Tanya & Olive Villanueva) and Okui Lala.

Okui Lala’s My Language Proficiency (2017) investigates the nuances of individuality within Malaysia’s multilingual society. She poses the question: “Am I still the same person with each different language I use?” A.S.M. Kobayashi’s File No. 2304 explores Canada’s shameful history of Japanese internment and forced labour camps through the artist’s meticulous examination of her great-grandfather’s government custodial file, unearthing hidden narratives within its inventories and documents. Mama’s Boy’s (Tanya & Olive Villaneuva) Ligaya presents a true story of a pregnant 19-year-old baby talking to her 20-year-old baby, talking to their 21-year-old baby.
