Join SoCal Filipinos for an Afternoon at the Museum on Saturday, August 15 as we explore Mountain Spirits: Rice and Indigeneity in the Northern Luzon Highlands, Philippines at the Fowler Museum at UCLA.

This powerful exhibition takes visitors into the world of the Ifugao people, whose world-famous rice terraces are more than breathtaking landscapes—they are living expressions of community, spirituality, sustainability, and generations of Indigenous knowledge. 

Through carved guardians, ritual objects, woven textiles, farming tools, immersive soundscapes, and video installations, discover how rice is deeply connected to culture, identity, and the sacred relationship between people and the land. The exhibition also highlights the UNESCO-recognized Ifugao Rice Terraces as enduring examples of ecological balance and ancestral wisdom.

Come experience this incredible exhibition with fellow community members, learn more about Filipino heritage, and enjoy an afternoon of culture and connection.

After the tour, join us for light snacks at the museum as we continue the conversation and cap off a wonderful afternoon together.
