LIVESTREAM EVENT

LIVE-BUILD | The Creation of a Bale

March/April

There are many terraced mountains globally, but the bale or traditional Ifugao house dotting the Ifugao rice terraces instills a sense of place; it is truly Filipino.
We take an in-depth look at the bale and what is involved in its construction, the principles and beliefs behind it, and the people who continue to build it through a livestream interactive event.

The Basilio family of farmers, weavers, and brass-casters run the Gonhadan Cultural Village. With Culturaid, they envision an inclusive culture hub of Ifugao culture. We’ve restored and built five bale as part of their open-air museum, workshop space for creatives, and sustainable bed and breakfast. In this livestream, we will witness the finishing of the 6th Bale. Here, we converse, take part in a thanksgiving ritual and gain a better understanding about this unique dwelling space.
