conquering corrupt colonized minds

The diaspora of the Filipino started long ago and continues today. The tragic tale of a people's love-hate tug of war for their beloved country. Even through all its violent and constant chaotic upheavals - natural and man made.

In the premiere episode of ATIN: Stories from the Collection, the question raised is who and where is the Filipino? Launched on Philippine Independence Day or Day of Freedom - June 12.

The Philippines and its Filipinos are a complex, complicated amalgam of too many moving parts in perennial movement and morphing - sleek and slithering, in ebb and flow, evolving and devolving.

Even before Western influence and colonial rule, the archipelago was inhabited by different polities. A melting pot of ancient Asian cultures and trade. Defined by diversity and transit where nothing is black or white - literally and figuratively.

ATIN is an original production that tells the story of the Filipino through images and videos of Ayala Museum's archaeological, ethnographic, fine arts, historical, and numismatic collections and Filipinas Heritage Library's archival and documentary holdings.
