Conceptualized by film director, Eric De Guia or known as “Kidlat Tahimik”, ILI-LIKHA ARTIST VILLAGE is located along Assumption Road in Baguio City just near the Session Road. It is a food hub where good food and art collides.
The entire complex was completed over a 10-year period. For the length of a decade, it was a work in progress using a process Kidlat calls ‘pukpok tastas.’ Many artists—Ifugao woodcarvers, craftsmen and artisans including Kabunyan de Guia, Kawayan’s brother—helped create the structure.
It’s built around trees and assembled from a host of materials. Used windows and old television frames make up walls, as do old kuwatro kantos bottles. Metal sculptures are used as foot bridge floors. Old bikes, colorful chairs, paintings, Rizal figures, broken tiles, flags and Ifugao statues. All of these complete the whole eclectic patchwork that is Ililikha. The whole building is a trip, in more ways than one.
