In celebration of Philippine Independence Day, we invite you to In Bituin: The Living Canvas — a celebration of generations, memory, and Filipino artistic expression. 🇵🇭
Through patterns, storytelling, and shared creation, we reflect on the marks left by those before us and how our culture continues to weave through the fabric of Filipinos today.
Join us for a day of art, connection, and community.
