“Dreamweaver’s

A.) what forms of tradition art can you identify in the videos?

-Hinabing Panaginip or Dream Weavers, a documentary video directed by Fruto Corre is about the life
of the people from Northern Cotobato; the T’bolis. The whole process of making theold T’nalak; one of
the most remarkable creations of the T’bolis, was presented in the video. Weaving is the traditional art
that was shown in the video.

B.) What do these narratives tell us about the character of traditional arts?

-They tell us about the different artworks that is a great inspiration. It reminds us that they will always
exist despite of each factor that tries to change the tradition. Those indigenous people create their
pieces with passion and determination, that every design has a symbol and has a big story behind it.
They never missed a chance to express their talents and message to the people who already forget the
traditions of their places, they treasure every moment that they have in order to continue their missions
in preserving their traditions.

C.) How are the artist portrayed in the videos? Example: The Dreamweaver, which talks about how a
Manlilikha ng Bayan like Lang Dulay derives her patterns from dreams. Does Lang Dulay’s dreamwork
come across as strange or exotic? Or do this account of dreams and creativity give you another
perspective on the process of creation? And that is possible to create something out of dreams? what-

-The artist portrayed in the videos are hardworking people that really love what they doing. They are
very skillful in every step that they do in the process of weaving. Lang Dulay’s dreamwork really does
come across as strange and exotic because her artworks are the result of her unique way, by the use of
her dreams. She really put a big mark on the history of the world. She knows hundreds of designs and
these designs inspires a lot of artists and change a person’s perspective in life since every special
artwork that she makes that has a story behind it.

D.) What specific factors cause changes in art production?

-The invasion of the outsiders, the pressures of the modern world like the advancement of technologies,
and the mindset of the new generations of today are the factors that cause change in art production.
Technologies are the one that greatly affect the history of the traditional arts. It made the young people
go into new things and most of us forget our traditional arts because we are slowly drowning of the
modernity of the world like the social medias. However, there is also an advantage of the existence of
the technologies, it let us know about the history of our tradition arts, dances, and etc. And those
indigenous people who live in far mountains never surrender and never lose hope on continuing their
passion and determination in keeping their traditions alive. They deserve to be seen and to be
discovered.
