Questo volume collettivo esplora le espressioni artistiche filippine, che includono non solo le arti visive e l’architettura, ma anche la letteratura e gli oggetti della vita quotidiana. Radicate nel contesto locale, ma profondamente connesse con l’Asia, l’America Latina e l’Europa, le Filippine hanno sviluppato un ricco panorama artistico attraverso il commercio, le migrazioni, gli incontri religiosi e gli scambi culturali. Dalla cultura indigena al XIX secolo, questa raccolta offre nuove prospettive sulla pluralità e complessità delle tradizioni estetiche che articolano la visione del mondo filippina.
