UP Diliman Arts and Culture Festival 2018
In consonance with the Philippine National Arts Month, UP Diliman celebrated the Filipino body as a creative realm and a locus of scholarly discourse through the UP Diliman Arts and Culture Festival 2018 themed “Kat(h)awan: Bodies, Society, Culture.”
The three-month festival sought to explore our understanding of the Filipino body – what it is, how it is perceived and shaped by art, culture and society; and manipulated by social engineering and advertising. It opened in February with 12 major events comprised of performances, conferences, installation exhibits and film showings.
For this year’s festival, the UP Diliman Office for Initiatives in Culture and the Arts collaborated with international academic and cultural institutions, the University of Amsterdam, the Asian Theatre Working Group, the International Federation for Theatre Research and Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office.
