Asia Society recently put up an exhibition, Sheer Realities: Clothing and Power in 19th Century Philippines (at the NYU Grey Art Gallery) which traces the development of Philippine culture and identity during the Spanish colonization period.  Although you won't be going to the Philippines, you might be interested in how they developed the show.  You may visit the www.asiasoc.org for more information or try and catch the show in Seattle (it will also be travelling to Manila next year).
