The Kalampag Tracking Agency: is an ongoing curatorial initiative between Shireen Seno of Los Otros and Merv Espina of Generation Loss (GEN_LOSS). Overcoming institutional and personal lapses to give attention to little-seen works—some quite recent, some surviving loss and decomposition—this programme collects loose parts in motion, a series of bangs, or kalampag in Tagalog, assembled by individual strengths and how they might resonate off each other and a contemporary audience. Featuring some of the most striking films and videos from the Philippines and its diaspora, this is an initiative that continues to navigate the uncharted topographies of Filipino alternative and experimental moving image practice.

Saluhan Collective: Founded in 2019 by Aida Azin and now led by Catherine Ortega-Sandow and MJ Flamiano, Saluhan is a Filipinx/o artist collective based in Naarm on Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country. Their practice is underpinned by notions of kinship, reciprocity, and the desire to create spaces that interweave artistry and community. They recently launched Pagbasa Archive, an experimental archive of contemporary Filipino art, design, texts, sound, performance and video in Naarm/Melbourne, currently based at SEVENTH.
