Anino Shadowplay Collective
Multimedia artists developing and popularising the art of shadowplay since 1996.
About
The Anino Shadowplay Collective, formed in 1996, is a group of multimedia artists committed to the advancement of the art of shadowplay. Its members come from diverse backgrounds; educators, cultural workers, visual artists, musicians and theatre practitioners are amongst its core members. It undertakes live performances, exhibitions, video, animation and workshops often in collaboration with educational and art institutions and occasionally with commercial establishments.
The heart of ANINO’s narratives lies in Philippine traditional art and literature, political history and contemporary culture. Its aesthetic, like Philippine culture itself, borrows from a wide canvas, taking influence from Filipiniana to universal pop imagery and “international” experimental art. Questions of Filipino identity are dealt with through projected images and hybrid theatrical styles.
