Kalilangan Celebration 2003 is the main festival in General Santos City from Feb. 21 – 27, 2003, highlighted with cultural activities, exhibits of indigenous food, kulintangan showcase, and arts exhibits. This year’s theme “WOW GENSAN” is best captured with a one-man art exhibit of a young Maguindanaon artist dubbed as “PALAMADANI: A Celebration of Roots in Colors.”

Palamadani is the first major exhibit of Al-Nezzar Ali. This will be launched on Feb.21 at Notre Dame of Dadiangas College. Al, the featured artist, is an instructor of Holy Trinity College and an active community theater practitioner and cultural researcher. He belongs to the royal family of Sogoda-Buayan.

PALAMADANI is a unique interactive exhibition where the works are highlighted with performances that play as its extensions. The showcase is a feast of traditional motifs and vibrant okir designs infused with modern perspective amidst the reality of disappearing Moro traditions, as subjects. His intricate patterns and intense colors are the reflections of his dedication in keeping alive his people’s cultural heritage and artistry. Palamadani is the artist expression of his concern with his own people and their role in the future.

Kalilangan Foundation, Inc. (KFI) manages the Kalilangan Foundation Celebration 2003.
