Benguet Costumes 1930s and 1940s

This page was first developed in support of the Igorot-American short film project of RKST based in Honolulu, HI. Her production "Taray" was inspired by her grandmother's experience as a child encountering the impacts of WW2 in Benguet, PI. RKS explores how the war has affected her family's trajectories in an exploration of it through a 3-part short film series. To read more about it visit:
