KULARTS presents Alleluia Panis’s AntingAnting, a two-year project commissioned by the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco exploring the talismanic power of movement and dance through a multidisciplinary ritual performance.
The performance will spark a community wide re-examination of the museum as a space that holds objects, many of them decontextualized from their traditional cultural practices. Through the project, we will create a contemporary framework, relevant to diasporic Pilipinx life, for these Museum objects from a community-centered perspective.
