i get so upset when fil-am people romanticize the philippines w/o recognizing the fact that they're in a privileged place then to do so bc the PH has no abortion rights, no divorce rights, no affordable birth control, lack of public services, corruption, etc.
fil-am: i want to revisit the philippines and reconnect with my roots!
fil-am: *pumunta lang sa mga resorts, siargao, boracay, etc.*

How To Drive Away Filipino Spirits (2024) poster with footnotes
I wanted this poster to feel academic w/ footnotes but all my sources are all from (unreliable) narrators and my own memories. Rather than educational, this feels more like archiving my own memory recall.

i hope you give this a read and please give empathy and sensitivity to the local ph artist community. to put it in perspective, some art markets are prices equal to FIRST WORLD prices in large events yet third world artists need to think about being break even!
so this happened yesterday:)
i think we all have seemingly grown cognizant of how rampant the art market has been with shoving these events to our faces lately. i'm honoured to have been part of the conversation (1/2)

filipinos r so good at illustration even without a lack of “formal education” (western industrial education) because we have a clear root in it according to our own art and graphic design history. we are so good at figures n still life. i dont think we need a “local style”

fil-ams are still filipino but they did not grow up in the global south. they are effected by it thru generational trauma but they did NOT experience it first-hand. the US is a colonizer for a reason and living there is better (bc they exploited our mother country!)

this is where the diaspora n people back home have tension with bc the diaspora victimizes itself as not having direct roots with its motherland. ppl in the ph have been living in an exploited state so of course there is resentment for ppl who do not recognize privilege

ito lang yung tunay na answer honestly. im so sorry to the people who get slapped with 6k-20k tables! :( those r obscene kasi those r first world prices! and the zine cons ive been to here in the first world- P1000 lang cheapest. im rly sorry we live in this system
we need more non-profit driven art spaces like BLTX-- ones that fester creativity and expression rather than trying to make back the money paid for 6k+ worth of tables
to create art without the worry of capital is where expression shines the most.

people > art always. what makes art be possible is our creativity from just existing. its more important to take care of people instead of just thinking of them as art machines to exploit. its toxic to reason abuse as the pursuit of good art bc there is NEVER a reason to abuse
