Through images, clips, and personal reflections, exhibition co-curator Amy Landau and director of video experience Paul Connor will discuss how digital media can translate embodied, place-based knowledge into an exhibition experience. From early ideation to working in the mountainous terrain of the Philippines, they will reflect on their approach to documenting a living cultural landscape grounded in ritual, labor, and environmental stewardship.

The Fowler Museum presents "Mountain Spirits: Rice and Indigeneity in the Northern Luzon Highlands, Philippines," a major immersive exhibition that invites visitors into a living cultural landscape where rice cultivation sustains life, memory, and spiritual practices.

Opening April 12, the show explores how the Ifugao of northern Luzon have for centuries shaped their mountainous habitat through agriculture, ritual, and ancestral knowledge. Through carved wooden figures, ritual objects, baskets, textiles, tools, and videos, "Mountain Spirits" presents rice not only as food, but as a sacred substance central to Ifugao cosmology, social life, history, and identity.

“Mountain Spirits: Rice and Indigeneity in the Northern Luzon Highlands, Philippines” opens at the Fowler on April 12.

For generations, the Ifugao of northern Luzon have transformed steep mountainsides into rice terraces—astonishing feats of engineering that are also sacred landscapes shaped by ritual, community, and a profound connection to land.

“Mountain Spirits” immerses visitors in this world through carved guardians, ritual bowls, woven blankets, farming tools, soundscapes, and video installations. Together, these works reveal how sustenance and spirituality are entwined, and how generosity, labor, and environmental care nurture Ifugao life.

On view from April 12, 2026 through January 2027.
