‘Munimuni,’ a Filipino term for deep contemplation and musing, embodies the artist’s reclamation of power and agency. This workshop revisits traditions of sewing, crafting, and engaging with spiritual objects, hosting a therapeutic creative process. Drawing from a trans perspective and inspired by Filipino Shamanism, the artist challenges colonial dominance over figurative myths tied to perfection and purity. Participants are invited to use white lace and fabric —equally iconic to Filipino households and Western rituals—to craft figurines to reflect their own notions of ideals while weaving personal narratives into the making.

About the artist
Bunny Cadag
Bunny Cadag is an artist creating at the nexus of craft and performance; within the tensions and transitions between theatre, film as well as installation; and through the voice as a fundamental site of creative resistance and poetic reexistence. Her practice is anchored in indigenous gender diversity and contemporary gender equality, and shared through a trans approach to healing and song, alongside which she nurtures a decolonial composure toward folklore and tradition. Cadag’s performances are often participatory and community-based, amplifying voices of the marginalised while thoughtfully navigating defamiliarised shapes and spaces with compassion and generosity. In 2021, Cadag was a recipient of Para Site’s No Exit Grant for Unpaid Artistic Labour. Cadag’s work titled Munimuni was featured in ‘Myth Makers-Spectrosynthesis III’ at Tai Kwun Contemporary, Hong Kong (2022). She graduated with a Certificate in Critical Practice in Contemporary Performance at Dance Nucleus Singapore in 2023. She lives and works Nasugbu, Batangas, Philippines.
