No story truly fades away if there are people to pass it on. This is how the Sugidanun of Panay has lasted for many years, enchanting generations upon generations.
The Japan Foundation, Manila and ThriveArt Projects, Iloilo proudly kick off the Golden Realms: Inheriting the Panay Sugidanun webinar series, which is also leading up to a manga adaptation of sections of the Sugidanun by Iloilo komiks artists slated for December 2021, in both English and Japanese languages. These projects aim to honor and celebrate the Panay Sugidanun in the present, and celebrate the resonances in oral literature between Japan and the Philippines. Golden Realms is under The Japan Foundation’s Asian Literature Project, Yomu, which bridges connections between literary traditions around Asia, and explores how literature is read today.
All students, cultural workers, academics, and Filipino literature fans are invited to watch the live webinar on October 16, 2021, from 10:00AM to 1:10PM via The Japan Foundation, Manila and ThriveArt Projects’ social media pages.
Throughout October to December 2021, the five webinar sessions held biweekly will discuss different aspects of the Sugidanun, contextualizing not just in the Philippines but in Asia, and also examining the adaptation of mythologies with Filipino and Japanese experts.
