This is the goal of the recently launched fashion exhibit dubbed as “Colors, Culture, Compassion” - to uplift the lives of Mindanao artisans by promoting their unique and intricate culture. Kaayo Modern Mindanao founder Mary Ann “Baby” Montemayor said the exhibit is a tribute to Mindanao tribes. Kaayo Modern Mindanao, founded with her daughter Margarita Norgrales, is a clothing line showcasing Mindanao culture. “More than the opportunity to reach out to more people and introduce the best of artisanship in Mindanao, it is more of a tribute to our tribes who have provided us with the abundance of culture and colors out of their imaginative skills,” she said.
