Our Theme: KULTURA 2.0: Reimagining Traditions for the 21st Century
Assemblage art is a creative form of sculpture that involves assembling various materials, objects, and found items into a cohesive artwork. This form of art encourages artists to repurpose everyday objects, natural elements, and cultural artifacts to express ideas and tell stories in three-dimensional form.
For this competition, participants will use assemblage art to create a work that envisions how Filipino traditions can evolve and adapt in the modern world. The goal is to blend the old with the new to create a vibrant cultural future that honors Filipino heritage while embracing innovation, blending traditional elements with modern or futuristic concepts to create a unique vision for the future of Filipino culture.
