The colloquium's theme, “Salikultura Research Methodologies,” is pursuant to the NCCA Support for Research on Culture and the Arts. The event's main objective is to publicly disseminate research outputs and serve as an avenue for discussing issues and concerns about culture and the arts research, relating to directions and trajectories, agenda and methodologies, technologies and discourses, methods and data gathering pedagogy, ethics, and new knowledge generated. It is also an opportunity to gather researchers to initiate and continue the discussion about research on culture and the arts and its impact and value in the general life of the nation.
