Alfredo Juan was born in Ballesteros, Cagayan, Philippines in 1962, and Isabel Aquilizan y Gaudinez was born in Manila, Philippines in 1965. The collaborative activities of the wife and husband artist team have evolved within the spheres of family and community, including personal relationships with other artists. For years they have been exploring the meaning of “home” and a sense of “belonging”, as they travelled extensively for work, finding and re-defining the notion of “identity”, while dealing with the hardships of displacement. The Aquilizans are currently based in Brisbane with their five children. Together they have exhibited at several international exhibitions, including the 50th International Art Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia (2003); the 5th Gwangju Biennale (2004); the 15th Biennale of Sydney (2006); the Singapore Biennale (2008); the Liverpool Biennial (2010); and the 11th Sharjah Biennial (2013).
