Rice in the Seven Arts is the newest book of the Asia Rice Foundation (ARF).
It brings together in one volume the previously
unexplored and primordial role of rice on the seven arts of the Philippines: dance, music, theater
arts, motion pictures, architecture, visual arts, and literature. From
seeding to planting, protecting the grain-bearing plants from preying birds,
harvesting and storing the grains, rice is presented as a social, familial and
community animator,. The golden grain, husked or unhusked, is likewise
presented in its various uses in Philippine culture and the arts: from adornment
(pf abodes and human bodies) to rice wine for special occasions.
Among the contributors are renowned artists and leading cultural icons of
the Philippines.
The 120-page book contains beautiful and rare photos and bids as a
welcome addition to the limited literature on the subject.
