de montañas submarinas el fuego hace islas (from underwater mountains fire makes islands) is part of an ongoing curatorial project which began in 2019. Spearheaded by Yina Jiménez Suriel, this project emphasizes the expansion of the human perceptual system through aesthetic knowledge. It explores the role of aesthetic tools and strategies in promoting imaginations that embrace constant movement and challenge traditional structures. The project involves itinerant phases in locations including San Francisco (Kadist) starting in October 2023, London (Delfina Foundation) starting in January 2024, and Manila (Museum of Contemporary Art and Design Manila) starting February 2024.

The screening program on 8 February features four films from the KADIST collection and six works from filmmakers and artists from the Philippines, Hong Kong, and the Dominican Republic. Curated by Lara Acuin and Yina Jiménez Suriel. Co-organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD) Manila and KADIST.
