Her post graduate show at the University of NSW, titled Halo-halo, is a culmination of this autobiographical and cultural research. Santiago says that Halo-halo, a popular Filipino dessert, is a metaphor of […] the layering of techniques, ideas and cultures and a comprehensive show of my practice.
Later this year, Santiago's work will be included in Balikbayan at the Blacktown Arts Centre, a group exhibition which is part of a survey of Filipino art - the Bayanihan Philippines project.
Marikit Santiago was a finalist for the Archibald Prize in 2016.
