The chapters in this volume contribute to knowledge production by using interdisciplinary approaches, while reexamining key concepts such as indigenization, localization, hybridity, mestizaje, baroque, and the global. They interrogate the Philippines’ identity and its entanglements within Asia and broader global contexts through artistic representation. More importantly, the volume includes women and indigenous communities, highlighting their active participation and representation in the archipelago’s evolving visual and material culture.
The editors wish to extend their gratitude to the EnRedArs group at Universidad Pablo de Olavide, led by Dr. Fernando Quiles García; the UP Diliman Chancellor Edgardo Carlo Vistan II, the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP) Dean Dr. Ruth Lusterio-Rico, former CSSP dean Dr. Maria Bernadette Abrera, and the UP Department of History’s Drs. Neil Martial Santillan and Rhodalyn Wani-Obias, for their invaluable support in making this book project possible.
