Meet some of the artists we will exhibit tomorrow at Palengke

Azia Jonelle (b. 1999, Toronto, Ontario) is a second-generation Filipino artist based in Toronto. She recently studied at OCAD University, completing a BFA in Photography.
She is primarily a lens-based artist but often experiments with other disciplines such as textile, sculpture and installation work. An emphasis on the intimacy of relationships (ie. platonic, familial, romantic) is the motivation for her practice. In more recent work, tradition and culture play a big role striving to create connections to her heritage.

Kim Kaye (she/her) is a first-generation Filipino photographer based in Toronto. Her work
mainly focuses on her personal experiences of self-discovery from an immigrant
perspective through her works in photography, journal, drawing, and illustration.
Kim’s been honing her skills in street photography since 2015 and she was recently part
of an exhibit called “BANGON” by Kapisanan’s program called “KAMI”.

Have you seen the dope custom tote for the Palengke auction? It was made by

Leira is a new artist in the game and a Scarborough native. She started creating custom totes after making a custom bag for her sister, which then gained popularity on social media. She’s combined her love and appreciation for music and album art to create custom wearable pieces--showcasing a piece of a person's taste and personality in a different way. Her current work is heavily influenced by some of her favourite cover art, but she’s already starting to expand her art inspiration beyond music. She and her signature custom totes have big things in the works so be sure to be on the lookout!

Who is Tiff??

I grew up in Scarborough where I was heavily influenced by music, basketball and pop culture. Outside of the lockdown, I run a restaurant in the city and during lockdown, I started up You On Point Tiff. It was during the mid to post pandemic where I wanted to share a new shopping experience to people at home. I was influenced by friends’ live auctions and wanted to create one directed to women. Graphic tees and ball jerseys were always a staple in my outfits and I wanted to incorporate that with YOPT’s brand. Basically, Sporty Spice meets Garth at a hip hop concert. YOPT is a little shop that features and sells and consigns pre-loved clothing through fun live auctions on IG.

Come meet Tiff and hang out with us at Palengke 🛍
