Anti-New Clark City is a documentation, analysis, and campaign project of the displacement of indigenous Aeta tribes due to the construction of the ‘green and disaster resilient’ New Clark City. New Clark City emerged as a government project and is being constructed on the ancestral lands of the indigenous Aeta tribes. To complete the project the Philippine government is actively marginalizing and disputing Aeta’s claim to land through lost documents. In addition, the government is displacing the community through unjust compensations that further marginalize the Aeta community. This project aims to raise awareness both publicly and within the Aeta community to resist the continuing marginalization of community members in and outside the boundaries of New Clark City.
The final product was a timeline video explaining the history and the intrusion of the land, a website campaign that aims to expose the issue to a wider audience, and a pamphlet proposal for a possible co-mapping workshop with the Aetas.
