Ex Nilalang by collective Club Ate (Justin Shoulder & Bhenji Ra) is a body of work that uses myth as a form to explore the intersections of queer identities of the Filipino diaspora. Nilalang has a hybrid meaning ‘to create’ and also meaning ‘creature’ — This emphasizes the nature of the work being both a transformation of existing mythologies and also the imagining of future folklore.
