The Museum of Contemporary Art presents Jo SiMalaya Alcampo: Singing Plants, as part of the Art of Propagation performative speaker series that aims to broaden perspectives on art and culture through acts, thinking and projects of cultivation, fermentation and propagation.

Jo will introduce us to the Singing Plants – keepers of indigenous knowledge, stories and memory. These banana plants respond to human touch with songs – the Hudhud chant of the Ifugao people – and sounds of bamboo instruments and gongs indigenous to the Philippines.

Subtle Technologies Conference: 3RD EAR. Expanded Notions of Sound in Science and Art 

Sounding/Surviving: the role of music in health, emotion and memory with panelists
DIPNA HORRA - Media artist
DAVID BOBIER - Founder & Director, VibraFusionLab
JO SIMALAYA ALCAMPO - Interdisciplinary artist 

This panel will explore the ways in which music can be used as tool for therapy and rememberance. In an increasingly globalized world, migration and networked technologies have both diffused and enriched cultures through the fluid storage and transference of sound. What are the possibilities for personal and collective healing through the integration of audio technologies and aesthetic experiences?

Carlos Bulosan Theatre (CBT) in partnership with KAPISANAN and with special guests Kwentong Bayan proudly present Tales from the Flipside : Over Time, Overseas as part of the 8th Annual KULTURA Filipino Arts Festival.

Carlos Bulosan Theatre presents a retrospective sampling of their past works featuring the stories of Filipina caregivers working overseas in search of better lives for themselves and their families.

Kwentong Bayan:  Labour of Love is a community-based comic book project created by Althea Balmes (Illustrator) and Jo SiMalaya Alcampo (Writer) in close collaboration with Filipina migrant workers in the Live-in Caregiver Program. 
These are the stories that you don't see in mainstream media.  These are the stories that you won't find in most academic papers or research studies.   These are real-life stories of community and friendship, love and struggle, and women's empowerment.  

In the Filipino language, "kwentong bayan" is the literal translation of  "community stories" and our comic book project is rooted in love.
