Encouraging us to slow down, to hold on, to take a second, “JUST WAIT (TEKA LANG)” is a multimedia, Filipino culture inspired arts exhibit and series of interactive workshops and events curated by Patrick de Belen. 

Inspired by his mom and Lola yelling at him to stop for a second, talk slower and to give them time to think, “JUST WAIT” or “TEKA LANG” explores a fusion of contemporary storytelling and a variety of different art forms inspired by Filipino culture. Through textile techniques, crafts, poetry, dance and music, “Just Wait!” Encourages participants and audiences to take a second, to contemplate, to reflect, to meditate, to slow down and learn more about Filipino arts, culture and storytelling from the eyes and mind of Patrick de Belen, and a community of incredibly talented Filipinx-Canadian artists.
