For the past 4 and half years ALTACO has been engaged in writing a book
about Northern Luzon art. Together with CEES ZWARTENKOT ART BOOKS in Leiden,
the Netherlands, this project has now been completed, and the book “IN THE
SHAPE OF TRADITION: INDIGENOUS ART OF THE NORTHERN PHILIPPINES” was published
in May 2010. Several well known and respected authorities on Luzon tribal art
have contributed with chapters for the book. It is hoped that this book will be
found useful by ALTACO members and others as a reference book.
The plan now is to renovate the ALTACO web pages that have been rendered
outdated due to the long time of neglect. (It was not possible to maintain two
demanding activities consecutively).
So far the following has been added:
Review of Sullivan’s biography on
Worcester, June, 2010.
Kalinga Beads on
June 20, 2010 (based on the CD ROM “Kalinga
Costumes”)
