ONLINE: Philippine Culture Night
to
UW-Madison Filipinx American Student Organization
Dancers during the 2020 Philippine Culture Night showcase.
media release: You're invited to the Filipinx American Student Organization’s annual Philippine Culture Night on Saturday, April 10, 2021 from 7-9PM CST!
This event is free and open to the public. Due to COVID-19, this year's PCN will be held virtually on Zoom. Despite being physically apart, PCN is sure to bring everyone closer together!
Philippine Culture Night is an annual event where we as a community come together to embrace our identities and celebrate Filipinx culture. FASO proudly showcases traditional Filipino dances, modern dances, musical performances, and more! This event is the perfect way for you to become introduced and educated about Filipinx culture, and for individuals to grow in touch with their Filipinx experiences and roots.
This year's PCN theme is "Bayanihan": being in a community or "bayan." FASO is rooted in the concept of a tight-knit community. Communities connect people, inspire people to do something, and most importantly, create a sense of belonging. As the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, a community isn't confined to a singular permanent place. A community can be anywhere because of the people who make it so. FASO aims to exemplify the teachings of Bayanihan by embracing the ambiguity of what it means to be together. “Being together” can be defined as being together in spirit, connecting through culture, and fostering a safe haven for each member during the times they most need it.
