Step into a rich tapestry of myths, traditions, and oral histories at the ARTS 1 GE Conversation, “Weaving Legends: Folklore Across Art Forms” on April 21, 2026, 1:00 PM at the NCAS Auditorium.
Journey with our guest speakers from Folklore Pilipinas as they share their expert knowledge and artistic practices: Etchok Catchuela, “From Oral Tradition to Stage: Reimagining Folklore Through Performance Art”; Lea Zoraina Sindao Lim, “Patutudtul a Pulangi : The Storyteller is the River”; Michael Villanueva, “Folklore Pilipinas : For the Love of Inherited Philippine Stories and Culture”; and Doris Rodriguez, “Unearth "MAYARI" Philippine Folklore, Storytelling, and Performance Art"
Folklore Pilipinas is a collective of artists, cultural workers, designers, musicians, writers, and academics dedicated to preserving and reimagining Filipino myths, traditions, and oral histories. Through exhibitions, workshops, talks, and animation projects, they transform ancestral narratives into contemporary art forms that invite reflection on identity, memory, resilience, and cultural heritage. By bridging folklore with modern creative practice, their work highlights how inherited stories remain relevant, evolving, and deeply connected to the shaping of Filipino culture today.
This event is presented by the Visual and Performing Arts Division of the UPLB CAS Department of Humanities.
