Description

After three years of hiatus, the Filipinx Student Association is hosting their biggest event of the year, Philippine Culture Night (PCN). This event celebrates and recognizes Filipino culture through a theatrical play, modern and cultural dance performances, music, and food. It is open to all students, staff, and faculty at IUPUI. All guests are strongly encouraged to follow our cocktail and cultural attire dress code. Theatrical PerformanceThe theme, Kababayan, literally translates to "fellow citizen, compatriot, or townsman". However, we are redefining its meaning. We are highlighting the intersectionality of Filipinx-American’s and the importance of reconnecting to our Filipino heritage through our community. This performance serves as an opportunity to redefine the depiction of Filipinx-Americans and their overall struggles, exhibiting the reality of immigrating to a foreign land, and dismantling Filipino stereotypes. Through our theme, Kababayan, it will convey the importance of family, love, and friendship, and how this shapes Filipino culture to this day. Celebration DinnerKain tayo!
