Presentation on the photographic series

Sitti in the City
Navigating identities: is there a relationship between Diaspora’s homeland and new land? How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?
Internal migration is as major a societal concern as emigration because individuals and families who choose to move and settle in another region always bring with them the reasons for their decision. Like Sitti, who decided to resettle to Mabalacat City from her conflict-torn birthplace in Mindanao in search of greener pastures. With her growing family, she and her husband now have their own source of income and peaceful nights' sleep...far from where she came from.

She did not tell me where she came from in order to protect their home from further prejudice, but she is very hopeful that she will be able to return and live there again.
