Every bid helped us move one step closer to bringing Kultura Kubo to life at the Vancouver International Children’s Festival and creating a space that celebrates Filipino culture, creativity, and community.
We’re so grateful for everyone who showed up with generosity and support.
A huge thank you to all of our community partners for their incredible in-kind donations and contributions.
Maraming salamat from all of us at VS. Creative Society and The Kultura Kubo 🇵🇭
Our Kusikus Weaving Workshop with was full of people trying something completely new, figuring it out together, and slowly getting obsessed with the process 😭
Not gonna lie, some people walked in looking slightly terrified of the looms, but by the end of the night, everyone was LOCKED IN.
Huge thank you to Carol-Ann for guiding such a thoughtful and welcoming workshop, and to everyone who spent their Friday night weaving with us.
Special thanks as well to , , , the Create for the Community initiative, , , and everyone who helped make this gathering possible.
