Our traditions are not static museum piecesβthey are living, breathing ecosystems that survive through transmission, ritual, and community practice.
MUSIKAPULUAN | SUGILANON: A National Summit and Dialogue on Sustaining the Ecology of Living Philippine Music Traditions officially opens its doors for participants, cultural workers, educators, and music lovers. From the sacred ritual soundscapes of the Cordilleras and the Lumad communities, to the intergenerational transmission of Visayan folk songs and the vibrant percussion of our island festivals, this summit traces the rich auditory map of our archipelago.
We will also stand at the cutting edge of change, exploring the ethical boundaries, cultural integrity, and creative possibilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in relation to indigenous creative industries.
