About
Overview
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.
Location
Dusit Thani Lubi Plantation Resort, Kopiat Island, Mabini, Province of Davao de Oro, Philippines. The island is renowned for its exceptional biodiversity, views of the UNESCO World Heritage site Mount Hamiguitan, and diverse cetacean habitats.
First Cohort
The first six artists selected are Corinne de San Jose, Gary-Ross Pastrana, Wawi Navarroza, Christina Quisumbing Ramilo, Bernardo Pacquing, and James Clar.
Timeline
New artworks will be realized by the end of 2023 and displayed in public spaces around the island by March 2024.
