Mountain Spirits
For generations, the Ifugao of northern Luzon have transformed steep mountainsides into rice terraces—astonishing feats of engineering that are also sacred landscapes shaped by ritual, community, and a profound connection to land.
Mountain Spirits immerses visitors in this world through carved guardians, ritual bowls, woven blankets, farming tools, soundscapes, and video installations. Together, these works reveal how sustenance and spirituality are entwined, and how generosity, labor, and environmental care nurture Ifugao life.
Recognized by UNESCO for embodying ancestral knowledge and sustainable practices, the terraces remain enduring testaments to human ingenuity and ecological balance. They are not monuments to the past, but living sites where memory, work, and spirit continue to converge.

Unseen Territories Screening & Workshop
Join the Democracy Center for a screening of the award-winning short documentary, Unseen Territories, that highlights fourteen artists who examine and reimagine the American flag through powerful, personal perspectives. Through personal flag-making, ephemeral interventions, and collective performance, the artists confront colonial iconography and its enduring imprint on public space. The screening will be followed by a conversation with Sydney Galindo, the film’s director, and Jesus Orozco, an artist featured in the film, about their processes and intentions for the film.
Following the panel discussion, guests are invited to participate in a community workshop where they can create their own interpretation of the American flag inspired by the ideas and styles explored in the film. Connect, reflect, and express your creativity in a welcoming community space—no artistic experience needed! Pizza and supplies included.
