About Sa Tahanan Collective




In 2020, Anna Bernice delos Reyes and Augustine Paredes co-founded Sa Tahanan Co. to create a platform for Filipino contemporary art in the UAE. Their collaborative work emerges from shared explorations of diaspora, memory, longing, and post-colonial identity.

We began in the United Arab Emirates as an arts collective that platforms Filipino creatives, first across the Gulf and then the globe, bridging the accessibility gap with institutional opportunities. Co-founded by curator Anna Bernice delos Reyes and artist Augustine Paredes in 2020, the collective focuses on arts practice as a means of diasporic representation in creative and cultural industries.

Through community building, cultural research, art exhibits, art sales, and other creative collaborations, we make space for Filipinos in the contemporary art scene. The collective has also grown an active WhatsApp community of Filipino creatives from around the world, not only finding collaborators in each other but also sharing resources for project grants and other creative opportunities.


Anna Bernice delos Reyes is a Filipino independent curator, writer, cultural researcher, and communications strategist working between Berlin, Dubai, and Manila. Her practice operates at the intersections of arts and culture, cultural heritage, and architecture, often grounded in social research and cultural context. She focuses on narratives of migration, diaspora, and colonised bodies. She has worked with institutions such as Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, Art Jameel, Barjeel Foundation, Japan Foundation, Salama Bint Hamdan Foundation, OMA, Diriyah Biennale Foundation, and the Philippine Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. Her writing has appeared in Vogue Philippines, Dazed Middle East, Vice, Dubai Collection, and The National.

Augustine Paredes is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice spans photography, painting, poetry, and installation. He questions what it means to desire in the light of migration, identity, and longing. He investigates the post-colonial identity of a Filipino in diaspora through the appropriation of mediums, materials, and historical narratives. He has held solo exhibitions at institutions and galleries including Jameel Arts Centre, Paulina Caspari, Foundry, Fffriedrich, and Gulf Photo Plus, while participating in group exhibitions at MMCA Korea, Museum Angewandte Kunst, Delfina Foundation, Tarzeer Pictures, amongst others. Through his publishing project Friendly Fires, he has authored five books on poetry and photography.
