   No Object Unturned

   Last October 20, 2020, the Nayong Pilipino Foundation conducted another round of online multi-sectoral consultation called Umpukan sa Nayon. Titled "No Object Unturned", this iteration convened anthropologists, ethnomusicologists, museum specialists, and scholars in cultural heritage to seek guidance on the museum the NPF intends to build that will house the Foundation’s permanent collection. Esteemed panelists included Romulo Vinci R. Bueza of Ateneo de Davao University, Marinella C. Mina of Ayala Museum, Dr. Jocelyn B. Gerra of the Cultural and Historical Affairs Commission-Cebu, Dr. Jose S. Buenconsejo of UP College of Music, and Dr. Nestor T. Castro of International Council of Museums- Philippines. Moderating the discussion was Dr. Laya Boquiren of the Nayong Pilipino Foundation. The panelists offered their perspectives and suggestions guided by three main questions: (1) How can institutions like the Nayong Pilipino Foundation confront the history of a collection and raise issues on ownership, rights, and ethics?; (2) How can museums engage the public to produce critical dialogues about a collection? (3) How can virtual museums support the relations that link the artifacts in a collection to persons and society? #AtingNayon (https://business.facebook.com/hashtag/atingnayon?source=feed_text&epa=HASHTAG) #MakadiwangNayon (https://business.facebook.com/hashtag/makadiwangnayon?source=feed_text&epa=HASHTAG) #MuseoNgNayongPilipino (https://business.facebook.com/hashtag/museongnayongpilipino?source=feed_text&epa=HASHTAG)
