Apr 1600:42:39Tap to summarizeNow a celebration, People’s Cordillera Day was actually born out of resistance. Marking the 1980 killing of Igorot leader Macliing Dulag during the Marcos dictatorship, the annual commemoration traces its roots to the Cordillera peoples’ fight against the Chico Dam and other large-scale projects imposed on ancestral land. We speak with Joanna Cariño of the Cordillera People’s Alliance about how this history of struggle continues today and why for many communities, defending land means defending life, livelihood, and the right to self-determination.🎧 Listen on Spotify🎧 Watch on YouTube Hosted on Acast.

Transcribe →Thought Bubbles : Intimidated by museums? What to know before you go
Apr 800:29:48Tap to summarizeLet’s talk about spaces many of us find beautiful—and intimidating. What actually happens inside a museum? Who is it for? And how do women shape the way we experience history, art, and culture?We sat down with three women from the Ayala Museum: Monica Fernandez (Digital Experience), Clarissa “Clari” Borja (Tours and Education), and Tenten Miina (Curatorial). Together, they talk about museum anxiety, the difference between looking and truly seeing, the unspoken rules visitors don’t always know, and what it’s really like to work behind the scenes in one of the Philippines’ leading cultural institutions.From slow looking and accidental “museum crimes” to the physical demands of exhibition work and the evolving role of women in art, this conversation invites you to rethink museums not as intimidating spaces, but as shared ones. Whether you’re a first-time visitor, an art lover, or just curious about Philippine culture, this episode is your guide on how to museum.Reporter and host: Bubbles MagpayoProducer: Tricia AquinoAudio editor: Anthony Tobias🎧 Listen on Spotify 🎧 Watch on YouTube Hosted on Acast.
