Created by Philippine-American artists and collaborators Aaron Santiago and Michaela Ternasky-Holland, Kapwa, which means kindred in Tagalog, is an interrogation of cultural erasure within the global Philippine diaspora.
Kapwa is a series of video installations that trace an outline around what is missing of the Philippine history. Kapwa's content awaits for the participants to be present before showing itself. The installation uses generative AI to imagine elements of culture and history that are missing. Kapwa combines projections, audio content and motion activated content for groups of people to have a shared experience with the content.
