"Bagong Lumad (New or Altered Native) is an art collective based in Davao City, Mindanao, Philippines.

The group is committed to developing, producing and popularizing works, both performed and non-performed, that fuse in form, idiom and content the old and the new, the traditional and the innovative, the indigenous and the assimilated.

In particular, Bagong Lumad favours works that employ the colours and flavours of the southern Philippines to express messages of peace and respect for life and nature."
