Duo Show with Distort Monsters
Folklore fades when stories go untold. In Forgotten Myths, BARC and Distort Monsters resurrect the Engkantos, Dwendes, and mythical beasts of the Philippines, reimagining them through contemporary street art and sculpture.
BARC’s works capture the mystique of the unseen—his sculptures and paintings embody supernatural tricksters, celestial battles, and spirits that once shaped Filipino beliefs. Meanwhile, Distort Monsters brings his signature bold, animated energy to mythic creatures, turning ancient tales into vivid, chaotic encounters between mortals and the unknown.
From eerie silhouettes to frenzied chases, each piece bridges past and present, ensuring these ancestral spirits live on. Because forgetting these myths means losing a piece of who we are.
