What we do

Bamboo Jewelry
Our award-winning exquisitely-crafted jewelry mainly from bamboo and rattan resembles miniature musical instruments of indigenous Kalinga. We explore designs that make the intangible tangible.

Bamboo Musical Instrument
The bamboo musical instruments are integral to the Kalinga culture, however, they are vanishing. We conduct research and workshops to transmit the bamboo music culture to the next generation.

Bamboo Workshop
We design workshops that deliver technical skills to handle bamboo and cultural wisdom of indigenous Kalinga through making bamboo instruments and architecture.

Exhibition + Public Art
Our exhibition usually encompasses multiple aspects of EDAYA work. We do not limit our creative expression only to certain forms. We also showcase our work both inside and outside settings.

Creative Education
Our approach to education toward sustainable futures is experience-based, emphasizing the importance of fieldwork and hands-on learning. We encourage students to have creative mindsets and curiosity to engage in environmental, social, and cultural issues around them. For example, the Bamboo Glocal Village project, an educational workshop module utilizing bamboo miniature houses, was launched to achieve the said purpose.

Music + Performance
Music and performance are integral elements for EDAYA to creatively combine various efforts of what we do. We create original repertoire, scripts, and choreography to explore the new possibility of sharing Cordillera Bamboo cultures.

Bamboo Network
We build meaningful connections through bamboo. Not only do we actively visit bamboo practitioners in other countries, but we also participate in the World Bamboo Congress and Workshops to expand the network with like-minded people to realize a sustainable world with bamboo.

Cordillera Bamboo Day
Since 2015, we have celebrated every September 22 to appreciate the bamboo cultures of Cordillera. We organize festivals, parades, events, and conferences by collaborating with local government, government agencies, schools, and more.
