Honolulu's Downtown Art Center is running its HALO HALO show for Filipino American History Month, a positive community moment for local artists and Hawaii's Filipino community.

• The show, whose name comes from the Filipino word for "mix," brings together art, music, and storytelling from the Filipino community.
• Downtown Art Center is a nonprofit community arts space in Honolulu that hosts exhibitions and performances open to everyone.
• Featured artist Flo is showing work from a sugar plantation series highlighting the women who worked the fields.
• Her painting layers in state archive records listing the ships and home provinces of Filipino immigrants who came to Hawaii.
• Some of the women's faces are blurred or missing, a nod to losing yourself in work.

Outlook: The show continues at the center alongside other exhibitions, with more Filipino artists featured in the weeks ahead.
