The search for an interweaving link between cultural heritage and identity led Filipino-American youth to create a massive artistic project.

“Lakbay: Filipino-American Youth Mural Project” is among five exhibitions at the Jersey City Museum, which opened May 17.

“Lakbay,” taken from the Tagalog word for “journey,” showcases the exploration of Filipino-American youth of the relationship between history and their collective identity.

Created by students at various Jersey City high schools, including Hudson Catholic High School, Dickinson High School, St. Dominic Academy and the Academy of St. Aloysius, the project was organized by Sumisibol, a Filipino service organization that offers workshops, education, training, counseling, networking and activities that provide positive alternatives for youth.

Jersey City Museum is open to the public on Wednesday and Friday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday 11 am to 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $4 for adults and $2 for students and senior citizens. Children under 12 are admitted free with an adult.

JCM is at 350 Montgomery St., within walking distance of the Grove Street PATH station. For detailed directions or additional information, visit www.jerseycitymuseum.org or call JCM at (201) 413-0303.
