A new blood of Filipino artists are drawing attention to Philippine folklore, heroes, and the country's many pervasive social issues as their works take centre stage at the Asia Pacific Triennial 11 at the Gallery of Modern Art Brisbane.

Key Points
  • Ilo-ilo-based Kikik Collective welcome this season's visitors with a monumental mural which symbolises the courage of relatively unknown heroes in the Philippines region of Visayas and the importance of "bringing back dignity to rural culture."
  • GOMA has also devoted an entire gallery to showcasing the colours and stories of Mindanao and Sulu region where their distinct weaving, textile, and wearable art take the spotlight.
  • APT 11 free and open to the public and will run until 27 April 2025.
