K’na the Dreamweaver Film Showing, Director’s Talk, and Gallery Tour

Celebrate the Museums and Galleries Month (MGM) with us at the #NationalMuseumPH!

As part of the activities for MGM, the National Museum of the Philippines will hold a free film screening of “K’na the Dreamweaver” at Gallery 1 of the National Museum of Anthropology from October 11 to 14, 2022.  Gallery tour at the Manlilikha ng Bayan Hall and Lumad Mindanao Gallery and a Director’s Talk with Ms. Ida Anita del Mundo, director and writer of “K’na the Dreamweaver,” will follow the film screening to provide the audience with knowledge on T’boli material culture and traditions.

This celebration, with the theme “Embracing Uncertainty: Showcasing Solidarity, Hope and Recovery,” is also made more significant as it coincides with the National Indigenous Peoples Month, also observed in the same month by virtue of Proclamation No. 1906, series of 2009.

The film screening and its corollary activities underscore the importance of safeguarding the rich cultural heritage and traditional knowledge systems of the different ethnolinguistic groups in the country to the present generation. They also aim to spread awareness and allow the audience to expand their knowledge about the life, traditions, and experiences of the different cultural communities.

The film screening and Director’s Talk are part of the NMP Visual Anthropology Program and made possible in partnership with the NMP Gender and Development Focal Point System.
