'Beautiful things can be vessels for painful stories' – Pio Abad | Tate

Within his work, Pio Abad considers cultural loss and colonial histories, often reflecting on his upbringing in the Philippines and his parents' role in the anti-dictatorship struggle.

As he says, 'we're all magpies, drawn to these shiny objects.' Subscribe for weekly films: http://goo.gl/X1ZnEl
