“Paniniwala: Acts of Faith'' 
Paniniwalà (tagalog) [noun] definition: belief

In response to the Art Gallery of Ontario’s exhibit Faith and Fortune: Art Across the Global Spanish Empire, Kultura invites audiences to witness Paniniwala: Acts of Faith, a transcendent experience of live music, storytelling and dance that challenges colonial legacies of conquest, domination and Catholicism through Filipino-Canadian artistic expression. Paniniwala: Acts of Faith is a remarkable demonstration of the ingenuity of our artistry and an inspired invocation of faith in our cultural community and its enduring spirit. 

Kultura is an arts and culture festival celebrating innovative artistic expressions and explorations of the Filipino-Canadian identity through live performance, food, music, visual art and dance. Energized by cultural pride and powered by community, Kultura captivates the broader Toronto public as a dynamic intersection of arts and culture. Kultura is proudly presented by Kapisanan Philippine Centre for Arts & Culture–a multiple award-winning grassroots organization dedicated to supporting the professional and artistic growth of Filipinx/Filipino youth through meaningful arts engagement.
