Welcome to ‘bumalik,’ an iterative performance installation series of bamboo sculpture, dance, and sound.

‘bumalik,’ the Tagalog word for ‘return,’ is an iterative performance installation of dynamic bamboo that centers the profound power of imagined memories as the gateway to returning home.

The work, revolving around the sculpture ‘sirkulo,’ re-imagines the relationship between the brown Asian body and environment as sites of trauma, reorientation, then liberating transmutation.

Their transformation of ‘sirkulo’ explores the disorientation and reorientation of the peripheral Filipina, shaped by geographical migrant stories of mothers and psychological migrations out of and into ourselves.
