Puón Institute

A Five-Day Annual International Institute/ Workshop

Puón Institute

The PUÓN Institute is a five-day international gathering of writers, artists, and academics to workshop individual and collective critical and creative projects in progress. The aim of this intimate collaborative Institute is to support and develop works that explore a particular chosen theme for the year. The Institute daily workshop is held on the second week of January at the Alfredo F. Tadiar Library in San Fernando, La Union.

During the five days, twelve to sixteen participants will share and exchange feedback on works in progress in any medium. The workshop setting is designed to be conversational and collaborative, centering on ideas generated by the participants. We seek participants who are committed to creating a supportive environment where works-in-progress will be shared. The feedback method will emphasize dialogue and inquiry, centering on the intent of the author/creator of the work-in-progress.
