Pilipinx Cultural Night
PCN, or Pilipinx Cultural Night, is a student-run theatrical production hosted by UC Berkeley's Pilipinx American Alliance. When PCN first began, it was not a complete theatrical play with complex transitions, integrations, and multiple creative components, but a humble community dinner held at the YWCA on Bancroft and Bowditch in Berkeley, CA. There, students performed cultural dances, ate, socialized, and created a space dedication to celebrating themselves as Pilipinx in the diaspora. PCN has always been a part of our platform against the Eurocentric curriculum in higher education, an act of solidarity with the TWLF, and a space where Pilipinx creatives are able to share their unique experiences of what it means to be Pilipinx in America.
PCN 48 Cultural Dance: "Kappa Malong-Malong"The, now fully theatrical, production allows participants to explore their Pilipinx identity through creative mediums such as (cultural) dance, acting, and music. By holding PCN every year, we hope to provide a creative space for our cast to learn and grow. At Berkeley, we also choose to use PCN as a platform for activism and education on Pilipinx history, culture, and current issues.
