a project of in care of Black women
The House of Kapwa is an interactive and ceremonial outdoor installation honoring Rest, collective care, ecological grief, and the Filipino indigenous virtue-ethic of Kapwa: shared interconnectedness, or ‘unity-of-self-and-other.’ The House of Kapwa invites us to sense the relationship between how we care for ourselves, how we care for each other, and how we care for the Earth.
