About Us
We are dedicated to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of Panay, Guimaras, and Negros Occidental. By utilizing the Traditional Knowledge Systems (TKS) model, we engage in cultural mapping that uncovers the unique stories, practices, and material products of local communities. Our mission is to document, analyze, and interpret these cultural assets, fostering collaboration between local governments, academic institutions, and communities to ensure that these traditions are celebrated and passed on to future generations.
