After a two-year break, the “Kadayawan sa Davao” was finally celebrated in-person and no longer through the computer screens, creating much exhilaration within the city and the tourism industry.
Now on its 37th year of celebration, the festival serves as thanksgiving for the bountiful harvest, rich culture, and a celebration of life.
To officially celebrate the festival, Park Inn by Radisson Davao launched the Pinta Madayaw: A Kadayawan Art Exhibit in partnership with Group of Aspiring Mindanawon Artists (GAMA) and the hotel’s Kadayawan room and F&B promotions.
The event was graced by Davao city Vice Mayor, Hon. Melchor Quitain, Deputy Mayor of the Bagobo – Tagabawa Tribe – Bae Sheirelle Uy Anino, Consulate General of Republic of Indonesia – Consul Novita, friends from the local art scene, media and tourism & corporate sector.
The exhibit aims to support local artists from GAMA and Pasudkaroy where 10 percent of the sold art pieces will be used to purchase art materials for the children trained under Pasudkaroy.
Pasudkaroy is a non-profit group composed of visual artists who belong to the Indigenous Persons community and one of their biggest ambition is to widen the knowledge of IPs in terms of visual arts and to increase the number of visual artists who are part of IPs.
