The Artistic Research Center (ARC) was founded to advance Philippine Women's University's vision of becoming a leading institution for arts-based inquiry in the region.
As a platform for creative scholarship, ARC engages in mapping workshops, collaborative publications, and interdisciplinary exhibitions that explore the intersections of art, culture, and community. Through these initiatives, the Center highlights the significance of artistic research as a mode of knowledge production that informs education, cultural practice, and social engagement.
Project Panatag empowers local communities to reclaim space through creative mapping. By using arts-based methods, we highlight emotional and cultural connections to land, sea, and territory while addressing resilience, memory, and identity.
ITP is a cross-cultural education platform co-developed with VLU–UOS in Belgium. It brings together Filipino and European educators and artists to co-create learning modules, certifications, and exchange programs. The program supports project-based learning rooted in culture, memory, and participation.
