Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Tupada is a Filipino term for illegally staged cockfights. Linguistically, it finds its roots in the three-century long Spanish colonial occupation of the Philippines. It is precisely tupada's overriding spirit of furtive, unsanctioned action which initially informed the work of a loosely configured gathering of primarily Manila-based artists who trace their creative paths to the academe, street/conventional theater, political mobilization networks, gallery/studio/session work (in music, painting, installation, photography, video, film), and an assortment of mainstream/alternative professional endeavors. This paper dwells mainly on their body of work which taps into the idioms of tupada as a feisty, no holds barred, off the cuff event taking place on the sly.
