You’re invited to the public unveiling of the latest light sculpture in SOMA Pilipinas - the Philippine Sun (13°N, 122°E) by Filipino artist collective mumu. The artwork’s illumination at night will be synchronized to the archipelago’s sunrise. This choreography of light transcends space and time, connecting the Filipino diaspora to the motherland’s natural rhythm—a luminous reminder of identity, of belonging, of home.
Presented in collaboration with Yerba Buena Conservancy, Yerba Buena Gardens, and Yerba Buena Partnership, the Philippine Sun (13°N, 122°E) is the first Filipino cultural marker in Yerba Buena and invites local residents, workers, and visitors to enjoy the new Sun Sala, also featuring vinta sails inspired by our maritime heritage.
Join us on the dance floor, and be among the first to experience the artwork illuminated after sunset with performances, music, and dancing.
This is the first of two Sunset Sala activities in collaboration with the Filipino Mental Health Initiative. The Sun Sala celebrations are supported by the Svane Family Foundation.
The Philippine Sun (13°N, 122°E) is funded by the California Arts Council, Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development, Office of Economic Development, the San Francisco Arts Commission, Yerba Buena Gardens Conservancy, and Yerba Buena Partnership.
