PAGHILOM 2: Cavite’s Biggest Art Festival is Back at the Magical Alitaptap Artists Village
Artists, students, teachers and cultural workers in Cavite unite to restage PAGHILOM, the first and biggest artist-initiated arts festival in the province that will run from February 28 to March 2 2019!
The festival carries the theme Paghilom, literally meaning healing or renewal. Paghilom alludes to art and its production as transformative acts necessary to cure individuals, communities, and society of its maladies.
The Paghilom Arts Camp and Festival in Cavite coincides with the celebration of the National Arts Month this February.
The 3-day arts camp and festival at Alitaptap Artists Village in Halang, Amadeo, Cavite from February 28 to March 2 will include a sportsfest, zine festival, an on-the-spot-painting competition, public art installations, murals, an art exhibit, art talks, workshops, improvisation jamming, dance and theater performances, art fora, spoken word and will end with a concert led by the biggest names in the local music scene including Joey Ayala, The Wuds, Chickoy Pura, and Borrachos.
