ADLikha combines two words: likha, which means "create" in Filipino, and ADL, which is the three-letter geocode for Adelaide, South Australia, where the creators currently reside. ADLikha has a similar pronunciation to adhika, another Filipino term which translates as "aspire" in English. 

 

We use our experiences to deepen our personal and social relationships as migratory artists with a variety of backgrounds in the arts and strong ties to multicultural communities. In an attempt to overcome loneliness and longing, we set out on a mission to find experiences that would make us feel at home. Motivated by deeply moving scenarios, we imagined a safe and transformative space for community involvement and life-changing encounters for the Filipino population as well as the larger Adelaide community.

We recognize that meaningful change is a collaborative effort, rooted in shared aspirations, purpose, and impactful actions.

Through ADLikha Events, we build a strong village where radical transformations ignite within our community and beyond.
