The idea behind Looking for Juan (in Art and Rock & Roll) is simple
- seven artists collaborate with seven bands to produce 14 new artworks
and 14 original songs, all about What It Means to Be Filipino.Beyond the art and the songs (which are all great), the Looking for Juan Program allows CANVAS (http://www.canvas.ph), together with the participating artists and bands, to explore and understand the social impact of art - particularly to promote discussion and debate on the theme of the Filipino identity. We like to think that this show is even more special in that, collectively, it gives a snapshot of what some of the best young creative talents think when asked about what it means to be Filipino, at this particular point in our nation's history.
