Ritual led by Filipino Mental Health Initiative-SF  begins 6PM

RSVP Here

You’re invited to the public unveiling of the latest light sculpture in SOMA Pilipinas - the Philippine Sun (13°N, 122°E) my Filipino artist collective mumu.  The artwork’s illumination at night will be synchronized to the archipelago’s sunrise. This choreography of light transcends space and time, connecting the Filipino diaspora to the motherland’s natural rhythm—a luminous reminder of identity, of belonging, of home. Join us on  the dance floor with DJ Breganza, of Seafood City fame, and be among the first to experience the artwork illuminated after sunset with performances by Galing Bata and Galing Nanays and Angalo for a night of music and dancing. Try a sampling of Filipino Street Food - first come, first served.

Presented in collaboration with Yerba Buena Conservancy, Yerba Buena Gardens, and  Yerba Buena Partnership, the Philippine Sun (13°N, 122°E) is the first Filipino cultural marker in Yerba Buena and invites  local residents, workers, and visitors to enjoy the new Sun Sala, also featuring vinta sails inspired by our maritime heritage.  

The Sun Sala celebrations are supported by the Svane Family Foundation.

This is the first of two Sunset Sala activities in collaboration with the Filipino Mental Health Initiative. The Philippine Sun (13°N, 122°E) is funded by the California Arts Council, Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development,  Office of Economic Development, the San Francisco Arts Commission, Yerba Buena Gardens Conservancy, and Yerba Buena Partnership.
