Tabi Tabi Po: Come Out with the Spirits! You Are Welcome Here | January 30 - March 29, 2026

Through Indigenous oral traditions and narratives, both autobiographical and imagined, Cece Carpio’s first solo exhibition, "Tabi Tabi Po: Come Out with the Spirits! You Are Welcome Here", highlights the power and necessity of storytelling. As a cultural, political, and relational practice shared across cultures, storytelling brings attention to the sacred and often overlooked spaces essential to understanding how all things come to be.

Carpio explores the themes and intersections of diverse cultural traditions, reconfiguring the folklore and mythologies of her upbringing. By colliding worlds and merging dimensions, radiating from ancestry, immigration, and gender-variant realities, Carpio shares universal stories of creation where beginnings, presents, and endings intermingle.

"Tabi Tabi Po: Come Out with the Spirits! You Are Welcome Here" delves into the sacred, becoming a collective space of reimagined creation stories that asks: What realities and stories about ourselves do we create when we exist between worlds and identities? What possibilities open before us?
