BREATHE LIFE
Sikuna: A Collaborative Arts Festival

With the aim of celebrating Filipino artists who live and breathe for their craft, Para Sa Sining is, once again, preparing us the most unique and diverse creations at their upcoming collaborative arts festival called, “Sikuna.”
Running on its second year, Sikuna combines the two Filipino words “sining,” which translates to “art,” and “kuna,” which translates to "cradle.” The festival was first launched on August 1, 2015 at the Century City Mall Events Center in Makati City.
Seeking to provide a venue for established and emerging artists to collaborate and give birth to a new found brilliance and creativity, Sikuna showcases traditional, modern, and experimental art. The arts cradle particularly merges seven different art forms together: (1) architecture, (2) visual arts, (3) music, (4) dance, (5) theater, (6) film, and (7) literature.
This September, Para Sa Sining will be welcoming another season of productions that will focus on the central theme of wind. Accordingly, different forms or faces of wind will be guiding the curation of their succeeding productions. To commence the season, Sikuna will be held from 10:00 AM onwards this May 13 at the Baluarte de San Diego, Intramuros Manila.
Following its objective of being a platform for interactive and collaborative art, Sikuna 2016 will be featuring workshops, tours, exhibits, film screenings, live art, performance art, community talks, community paintings, an open mic and an open jam session. There will be over numerous artists, volunteers, performances and activities, throughout the day. The festival will be carrying the tagline “Breathe life,” to signify that art is not only a way to express oneself but also a way of life.
Sikuna will also serve as a fundraising event to further “Katha,” their series of bi-monthly collaborative events for independent artists, as well as “Hiraya,” their collaborative arts education program benefiting regional communities of the Philippines. With the mission of growing a community through Philippine art & culture, Para Sa Sining believes that the gust of the wind will only take the local art scene to further, greater heights.
Admission to Sikuna: A Collaborative Arts Festival is only for 495 pesos. Premium tickets are available for 695 pesos. You can purchase tickets online through mybondle.com.
