Much of the work that sustains everyday life happens quietly, without much recognition.
Calgary-based artist and cultural practitioner Rolando Jr. Montemayor Pepano, listed with Calgary Arts Development and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, recently shared a reflection on frontline care work through the Calgary Herald. The piece was later featured across Yahoo News Canada, MSN, and Google News.

International cultural policy bodies, including UNESCO, have warned that gaps in digital preservation systems pose long-term risks to cultural diversity. When archival infrastructure is uneven, entire communities remain under-documented. Over time, these omissions become structural absences within the historical record.
In Calgary, Alberta, Filipino-Canadian cultural practitioner Rolando Jr. Montemayor Pepano is developing a response grounded in infrastructure rather than exhibition.
