About Panit Bukog
"Panit Bukog has evolved as a peer-critiqued, curatorially informed, and practice-led movement for art practitioners in and from Mindanao. It seeks to sharpen the profile of contemporary art practices in Southern Philippines and variedly articulate the region's ideas through its exhibitions and collateral events. It has expanded this endeavour through collaborations with curators and collectives from outside Mindanao.
The Panit Bukog projects in Mindanao aim to engage local audiences, a goal inherent to the modality of the traveling exhibition. Its exhibits and related platforms highlight art's transformative capacity and artists' critical role in Mindanao's cultural landscape.
The last edition of Panit Bukog in 2019 illustrated the connections between art and everyday realities, the crafting of vision through material conditions as shaped by the Mindanao region. From a previous selection for Art Fair Philippines 2022, the 2023 regional booth showcases a timeline that traces the development of Panit Bukog, at the same time consolidating the web of connections it had successfully woven from when it was conceived. The virtual event Mindanao Voices from last year’s Art Fair Philippines raised questions regarding contemporary platforms, organisation and collectives and the support they require to expand understanding of contemporary art from Mindanao. The regional booth pursues this path of artistic practices that continue to flourish and remain responsive to the times."
