Get matched →The Lubi Art Residency, named after the Visayan term for coconut, invites six chosen artists to create fully carbon-neutral public installations using materials sourced exclusively from Kopiat Island, such as driftwood, bamboo, and debris washed ashore. The resulting artworks will be both permanent and ephemeral, gradually deteriorating over time as nature reclaims its control.
