10.00 -11:30 Workshop: Tinikling - Folklorico Filipino Austria

Tinikling is a traditional Philippine folk dance which originated prior to Spanish colonialism in the area. The dance involves at least two people beating, tapping, and sliding bamboo poles on the ground and against each other in coordination with one or more dancers who step over and in between the poles in a dance. It is traditionally danced to rondalla music, a sort of serenade played by an ensemble of stringed instruments which originated in Spain during the Middle Ages. The locomotor movements used in this dance are hopping, jumping, and turning. (Source: Wikipedia)

11.00 - 12.30 Workshop: "Creating Our Legacy: An Interactive Workshop for the Filipino communities"

In this workshop, we will reflect on what legacy means to us now and envision the legacies we want to create for future generations. As Filipinos in diaspora, we navigate the rich tapestry of knowledge, culture, and wisdom passed down to us. Many of us are searching for connections to our Filipino ancestors and our place within this lineage. Through sharing our personal experiences and perspectives on legacy, we will explore creative expressions using language (spoken or written), simple movement, and music.

This inclusive workshop welcomes everyone—whether you're curious about your heritage or eager to share your insights. Together, we'll co-create a brave space for exchange and play. No prior experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and willingness to connect.

Highlights:

  • Reflect on and define your personal concept of legacy.
  • Engage with others in the Filipino diaspora in Austria and beyond.
  • Express yourself creatively through language, movement, and music.
  • Participate in a collaborative and supportive environment.
  • Conducted in English, with German also welcome.

Celebrate our shared heritage and build a collective future with us. Let's explore and create our legacies together!

Due to limited number of participants, we kindly ask you to register here!

11.00 - 12.00 Panel: "In solidarity for environmental rights – local and global challenges"

Climate change affects us around the world, but some areas are hit by environmental disasters harder than others. Especially those who contribute less to worldwide carbon emissions suffer the most, as statistics show. The Philippines is among the most vulnerable countries. Although being used to typhoons, heavy rains and floods, it becomes more difficult for communities to protect themselves and to recover from disasters. The talk will look at climate change and environmental activism in the Philippines and discuss possibilities of international support and solidarity.

Moderator: Marina Wetzlmaier, journalist and founder of Kasama – Klimasolidarität Philippinen

12.50 - 13.50 Panel: "The second and third generation’s commitment to support relatives in the Philippines: Quo vadis remittances, Balikbayan Box & Co?" *

The transfer of migrants' remittances is one of the most important phenomena of international migration. According to World Bank data in 2023 worldwide remittances were – after a short slow down due to the pandemic crisis - still growing in contrast to FDI (foreign direct investments) or ODA (official development assistance). With $39.1 billion and a share of 9 per cent of the GDP these money transactions from Filipin@s abroad to their relatives at home represent an important source of income for the Philippines.
After a short presentation and overview of global money transfers and their contribution to the economic development of the Philippines, the discussion will focus on the socio-cultural, both positive and negative, aspects.
Do the second and third generation of Austro-Filipinos send money and in-kind transfers to their relatives in the Philippines to the same extent as their parents' generation, whose primary goal in migrating was to support those who stayed at home? Is an inherent debt of gratitude (utang na loob) transferred from parents to their children and grandchildren?
Are the agendas of the first generation taken over when they die or when there is less money available due to retirement?
Is the second-generation ready to make the effort to collect items and fill a Balikbayan Box or do they prefer the more convenient way of money transactions?
Do the recipients of the remittances use the payments as a “social hammock” or whether they invest them primarily in the future (education, saving for worse times)?

Moderator: Mag. Dr. Bianca Weninger

Bianca's interest in Southeast Asia was first kindled during her studies of Theoretical and Applied Geography at the University of Vienna. She wrote both her diploma thesis and dissertation on tourism in Thailand. She has been intensively involved with the Philippines since meeting Philip Weninger, with whom she is now married and to whom she owes her Filipino family-in-law. Bianca has been a volunteer at Sentro ng Kultura at Wika ng Austria ng Pilipinas since 2010.

John Rueth is a Filipino-German entrepreneur who has co-founded several companies in the Philippines and in Germany - among them Philippinen Tours and Kapwa Travel in the tourism industry, and Kapwa Marketing & RATO Digital in the digital marketing sphere. He endeavours to combine his two home countries, wants to build bridges and develops an international team that inspires in the sense of kapwa. He thinks of his companies as playgrounds to interpret the meaning of kapwa in various ways, focusing on creating a better and more human world. As a graduate of historical sciences and philosophy at LMU Munich, the path to entrepreneurship was rather adventurous for John Rueth, and has a lot to do with his search for meaning, identity, and his interpretation of kapwa. After traveling the Philippines many times and creating the website www.philippinen-tours.de together with his father and his brother, it was only a matter of time until the start of the first tour company.

Mag. Philip Weninger

Following a period of employment at the Austrian Science Council, he has been working for Österreichische Post AG in the field of geomarketing since 2012. He completed a degree programme in Applied Geoinformatics (UNIGIS) at the University of Salzburg in 2020.

As the son of a Viennese father and a native Filipina from Cebu, he developed an early interest in Southeast Asia and the Philippines, which he regularly travels to with his family and his spouse Bianca. Philip has been a volunteer at Sentro ng Kultura at Wika ng Austria ng Pilipinas since 2010.

16.00 - 17.00 "Tracing Mother Lines" - 3 short films and panel

Filmprojekt von Kathrin Knoepfle

Mutter
Dieser Zusammenschnitt gibt einen Einblick in die Familiengeschichte von Kathrin. Sie besucht ihre Oma Roswitha in Laguna, südöstlich von Manila. Diese besitzt dort zwei Häuser und ist ein bis zwei Monate pro Jahr dort - sonst wohnt sie in der Nähe von Stuttgart. Da Kathrin die Sprache ihrer Mutter nie gelernt hat, spricht sie seit Kindertagen mit ihrer Oma in einer Mischung aus Deutsch, Englisch und Tagalog - etwas ungelenk, aber auch seltsam vertraut. Mit Maria oder Marichu ist die Tochter der Oma, also Kathrins Mutter gemeint.

Gesellschaft
Im zweiten Teil ist eine interventionistische Performance von Kathrin im lauten Gedränge Chinatowns von Manila zu sehen. Im Rohmaterial gibt es weitere Szenen mit Kathrin, die sich im Brautkleid durch Manila bewegt, geisterhaft erscheint. Kommentiert wird die Szene von Sabrina Gacad. Sie ist Gründerin des Lunas Collective, für das Kathrin einen von uns filmisch begleiteten Tanzworkshop gegeben hat. Der Verein bietet Gesprächsmöglichkeiten für Menschen, die geschlechtsspezifische Gewalt erlebt haben. Als Assistenzprofessorin in der Abteilung für Frauen- und Entwicklungsstudien an der Universität der Philippinen beschäftigt sie sich in ihren Seminaren mit dem gesellschaftlichen und persönlichen Verhältnis zu Sexualität und wirft dabei einen scharfen analytischen Blick auf Dynamiken in der philippinischen Gesellschaft.

Trauma
Der dritte Part ist eine Parallelmontage und beschäftigt sich mit dem persönlichen und kollektiven Trauma, das durch familiären und gesellschaftlichen Druck entstehen kann und weitergegeben wird. Einerseits sehen wir eine „Somatic Session“, eine Art meditative Körpererfahrung und Kontaktaufnahme mit den Ahnen, geleitet von der Tänzerin und Choreographin Ea Torrado. Sie hat mehrere Jahre eine Tanzkompanie in Manila geleitet und dabei einen eigenen Tanzstil entwickelt. Seit zwei Jahren nutzt sie ihr Wissen über Tanz, Körper und traditionelle philippinische Heilmethoden, um therapeutische Sitzungen anzubieten. Die zweite Ebene sind Aufnahmen von einer abgelegenen Inseln in der Nähe von Masbate, wo Kathrin ihren Großvater Jose besucht. Der hat sich im Gegensatz zu Roswitha für ein ländliches Leben in der philippinischen Großfamilie entschieden. Hier fühlt Kathrin sich das erste Mal zu Hause, etwas womit sie selbst nicht mehr gerechnet hatte.

Kathrin Knöpfle, Regie/Protagonistin, arbeitet als Tänzerin, Performerin und bildende Künstlerin. Ihre erste Ausbildung absolvierte sie als Holzbildhauerin an der Berufsfachschule für Holzbildhauerhandwerk in München. Während dieser Ausbildung entwickelte sie ihre ersten tänzerischen Solo-Arbeiten. Woraufhin eine Ausbildung in Freiburg an der TIP Bewegungsart Schule für Tanz, Improvisation und Performance folgte. Seit 2013 arbeitet sie freiberuflich für verschiedene nationale und internationale Choreograf:innen. u.a La Fura dels Baus, Allora & Calzadilla, Alexandra Pirici, Jérome Bel, Doris Uhlich und Judith Sanzches Ruiz. In der Schweizer Dance Company Anja Gysin ist sie seit 2014 festes Mitglied.
In ihren eigenen Kreationen arbeitet sie an der Schnittstelle von darstellender und bildender Kunst und fokussiert sich auf die Verbindung von Tanz, Installation und Objekt.
Mit Hilfe des Arbeitsstipendiums der Stadt München und von Dis-Tanz-Solo arbeitet sie derzeit an ihrer Recherche zu Mother Tongue, die teils auf den Philippinen stattfindet und sich mit den Themen arrangierter Ehen, Migration, generationsübergreifenden Traumata und familiären Prägungen beschäftigt.

"Dahil Sa Iyo" ist ein philippinisches Liebeslied, das von Mike Velarde Jr. komponiert wurde. Es ist bekannt für seine romantische Melodie und emotionalen Text, der tiefe Dankbarkeit für die Liebe ausdrückt. Das Stück verbindet traditionelle philippinische Musik mit westlichen Einflüssen, was ihm einen einzigartigen Charme verleiht.

"Prélude" aus Pour le Piano von Claude Debussy ist ein impressionistisches Klavierwerk, das 1894 komponiert wurde. Es zeichnet sich durch seine virtuose, kraftvolle Eröffnung und die komplexen Harmonien aus, die typisch für Debussys Stil sind. Das Stück ist geprägt von dynamischen Kontrasten und vermittelt eine Stimmung von Eleganz und Raffinesse, während es gleichzeitig eine gewisse Leichtigkeit und Freiheit in der Interpretation erlaubt

13.00 - 14.30 Participatory Live Performance Act/Room Installatory: "Magpahinga + matulog"

In performance art the artist uses her own actions, her own body or her own presence as a medium. As a rule, this involves live performative events in which interaction with the audience plays a major role.

In “magpahinga + matulog | to rest + to sleep | ausruhen + schlafen”, the space becomes a total work of art, the observers become part of the performance: mats, blankets and cushions invite you to rest for a moment, to join the artist or the small group around her. It is not a siesta; it is an invitation to rest in public and possibly fall asleep, it is a performative exploration of vulnerability and privacy, and the testing of radical self-care.

The resting people reveal their most intimate state, while at the same time boundaries become blurred: what is public, what is private? Are the observers subjects or objects? What is personal and what is performative?

The performance gives visitors the choice of becoming an active part by becoming de-active, or walking from station to station, camp to camp as an observer and discovering the various information points. This also allows them to become part of the artwork. Sleep is universal. Everyone needs to sleep. If we don't sleep enough, an imbalance occurs that affects us mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. If these imbalances are not corrected, the deterioration of our physical self begins. Our ancestors knew that the human body has the ability to regenerate itself, but that imbalances exist.

A culture of performance-oriented work and productivity has drastic effects on our health and personal rest(lessness). In an increasingly fast-paced world, rest and retreat are political. A self-determined approach to one's own rest time means restoring one's own strength and energy and thus ensuring a healthy balance.

60min live performance with background music and 30min talk.

16.00 - 17.00 Presentation and interview: "Voice, Presence, and Rights Claiming: Counter-discourse formation among undocumented Filipino migrant workers in a hostile UK immigration policy"

The talk will be set in the broader context of the challenges faced by the Filipino diaspora in Europe and their efforts to address them including their project to improve their visibility and representation.

This talk looks at the representational practices of undocumented Filipino migrants in the context of a hostile UK immigration policy. Specifically, it aims to: 1) reflect on how East and Southeast Asian communities more broadly have contested their media representations and ‘ethnic’ (in)visibility in the UK; 2) look at how consciousness formation underpins counter-discourse formation; 3) examine how undocumented Filipino migrants are engaged in fighting to secure their stay in the UK through counter-discourse formation that reimagines who and what they are in British society.
