鈥淜uta鈥� is a Filipino term which means 鈥渉angout, refuge or stronghold鈥�. For the KUTA Artists Group of Angono, Rizal which is now celebrating its 10th year, the term has both spatial and relational significations. Isidro 鈥淢anong Jon鈥� Santos, one of the group鈥檚 most senior and founding members, explained that KUTA was established to remind them that there was no reason to stop doing art. It was also Angono artist Carlos 鈥淭otong鈥� Francisco II鈥檚 playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks that unwittingly helped the group found its name.

Another Foot Forward is KUTA鈥檚 29th group exhibition.
