De Lata: Exhibition Launch

Canned sardines, corned beef, fruit cocktail—humble pantry staples that carry deep Filipino stories. In De Lata, artist Peter Francisco transforms these everyday cans into vibrant works of art that speak of memory, resilience, and home.

Already his best-selling series of 2025, with works collected across Asia and Europe—from Manila to Cebu, and Germany to Amsterdam—De Lata now makes its Adelaide debut in a special solo exhibition at Seafaring Fools, Glenelg South.

Step into a colourful world of Filipino culture and nostalgia!

Why attend:

• Experience – See Peter’s vibrant paintings in person, elevating humble pantry staples into cultural icons.

• Connect – Discover Filipino heritage and the memories behind each can.

• Enjoy – Fools Burger will be open for food and drinks.

• Purchase – Selected works from the exhibition will be available for sale.

• Free Entry – RSVP to secure your spot. No cost, all-access to the exhibition.

“Like many Filipinos, canned goods have always been a big part of my story growing up. Painting them allows me to stay connected to my memories, and to the many in the Filipino community around the world who resonate with the story of each can.” — Peter Francisco
