"Stages of Resistance: Preserving Creativity in Times of Repression."

Two public forums bring artists, Filipino American scholars, activist-organizers, and community members into one room—voices that do not usually share the same stage, but urgently need to be heard together now.

WHAT THIS CONFERENCE IS ABOUT

Not a history lesson.
A strategy session.

Stages of Resistance connects Philippine Martial Law history to a present in which artists and cultural workers face arrest, detention, deportation, censorship, cancelled grants, and institutional pressure to retreat. The goal is not only to understand what happened—but to decide what artists can do now.
