Neo Angono Artists Collective is a group of artists based in the Philippines which started activities in 2004. Their representative work is the distinctive “Higantes” – giant sculpted figures. Influenced by the Roppongi district, the group makes these figures in collaboration with local people. The completed Higantes will be installed in the parks and streets, adding color to Roppongi.
