In search of a monument (2024) centres on FLEX, a talking and listening game they created in 2019. Players exchange stories, stretching the meaning of words based on feelings and values, leading to spontaneous connections. The accompanying installation inspired by Abu Dhabi’s ubiquitous gift shops repurposes an existing store downtown as ‘FLEX* STORY SOUVENIRS’, where workshops take place. Colourful clay shapes made by participants while playing the game become symbolic souvenirs or monuments representing shared experiences and are displayed on wooden shelves in the shop. <img

the production of sugar. Urged by this crisis, the members of Black Artists in Asia (BAA)—the founder of the Visayas Islands Visual Arts Exhibition and Conference (VIVA ExCon)—banded together to generate, through culture and art, a force for meaningful social transformation. The BAA began their collective activities in 1986, in the midst of the man-made Negros famine wherein tens of thousands of children suffered severe starvation and many eventually lost their young lives. The BAA upheld the belief that arts and culture should reflect people’s lives, and used their art and exhibition platforms as a tool to tell the world about the plight of the sugarcane workers in Negros. Artists from across the sea, including Japanese artists, shared such a vision and their solidarity helped spread awareness of the cause across borders and prompted international participation in emergency relief efforts as well as longer-term efforts to empower the marginalized. The materials that were produced, both collectively and individually, in the movement show how the concern for children was the prime mover for the artists’ intuitive actions and sustained commitment. The children depicted in the materials cast a gaze full of individual will toward the viewers, betraying adult expectations of what a child should be. They reflect the artist’s attitude of refraining from echoing both the logic that views children as incomplete adults in the process of becoming and the worldview of adults built upon the hierarchy of the developed over the underdeveloped. The presence of children is imagined here as a mediating entity that invalidates external/internal divisions, inviting us to engage in finding and reading the stories of what might otherwise be buried under the structures built and run by those in power. The title, Panultol, is a Kinaray-a word meaning “to go to a familiar or unfamiliar place with no maps or directions.” It is a process that is guided by gut feeling or subjective decisions and it can also mean tracing back someone’s ancestors or genealogy. The exhibition, inspired by the layers of meanings embedded in the term, presents artworks, historical materials in personal archives, and newly commissioned works, as well as printed materials from the curator’s ongoing research on international artists' solidarity against children's hunger in the island of Negros in the 1980s and 1990s. It proposes to trace paths paved by individual curiosity, observation, sensitivity, intuition, and commitment, which has guided the artists through the unknown journey under the shared imagination of a livable world for all.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The exhibition is held at: Antique Provincial Library &amp; Local Archives, and the Library Annex Supported by: Japan Foundation Manila, Outlooke Pointe Foundation, Printerest Design Studio Special thanks to: Antique Provincial Library &amp; Local Archives, Yqfryd Alvarado, Scarlet Hope Dalumpines, Iris Ferrer, Olive Gloria, Ramie Jiloca aka Apid, Mie Liao, Purita Kalaw Ledesma Center, Grace G.

By using themes about social realism and traditional lifestyles of Antique as well as the country such as the indigenous people, farmers, fisher folks, laborers, street children, traditional beliefs and practices, Ramon tries to preserve the unique culture of his land through expressions of everyday inspirations with figurative abstractions and nonfigurative expressionism. His works often refer to pop and mass culture. Using drawn symbols, a world where light-heartedness rules and where rules are undermined is created. By examining the ambiguity and origination via retakes and variations, he touches various overlapping themes and strategies. <img width="1974" height="1125" width_o="1974" height_o="1125" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d75e9d8c00db4f5374f24cba14423d9bbaa7981d0a0264988e6f2e75a68fcafa/DSC06912.jpg" data-mid="197724695" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d75e9d8c00db4f5374f24cba14423d9bbaa7981d0a0264988e6f2e75a68fcafa/DSC06912.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1125" width_o="2000" height_o="1125" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a0b59074a04a771b08b4efca503a83cbf1071e7d4eceece36b13f6aa85143a2d/DSC06951.jpg" data-mid="197724637" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a0b59074a04a771b08b4efca503a83cbf1071e7d4eceece36b13f6aa85143a2d/DSC06951.jpg" /><img width="2000" height="1125" width_o="2000" height_o="1125" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fe360cdfca00f4f009ca3ee812fa495c7c0a787f037c28f742fec824313bdf20/DSC06721.jpg" data-mid="197724636" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fe360cdfca00f4f009ca3ee812fa495c7c0a787f037c28f742fec824313bdf20/DSC06721.jpg" />Ramon De Los Santos, Jr. ELEMENTO (24-pc series) Acrylic on a variety of wood species 2021 Artist’s collection Exhibited at the Library Annex This art piece depicts a society. Each piece is adjoined to each other to form a certain community, tribe, or clan. If one member of ELEMENTO is detached, then the whole nation will fall. The artwork is a toy. One can disconnect and assemble it to create another unique arrangement. Each piece has holes on it and could be linked to another piece by inserting nails. It could be played by one or two persons and could be arranged with two pieces, with three or more.

Informed by my month-long stay in Taiwan and my father’s quarter-century service to the Philippine government, I compiled a set of rubber stamps with words and images associated with Antique/Visayan communities. Batano employs a collection of images and words that exist in two worlds – the authoritative taxonomy of government stamps and the esoteric visual vernacular of our amulets also known as anting-antings. This works presents the possibilities of conflict, parallelism and commonality between these two types and interrogates how authority, mysticism, self-preservation, and power intersect and disperse in different directions. Batano is a Hiligaynon term used in games as a marker or avatar for one or more players. It is usually a found object, like a fragment of a bone, a stone, a piece of glass; or sometimes, a token. Batano as a work tries to gauge the relevance of a word or an image to an individual, how one gravitates towards certain symbols and aligns with them subconsiously.

Enclosure: ____. 2023 The Inagaki Seminar of the Faculty of Intercultural Studies at Hosei University has been thinking about the meaning and ideal state of an exhibition held at a time of social difficulties and has had many discussions regarding the creation of a work of art remotely. The work, Dear ___. Enclosure:___.&nbsp; is a performative work on the theme of communication, which intersects the analog methods that are now being replaced by digital and current communication through social networking sites. The work will be exhibited among the many books in the collection of the Antique State Library and in a secret location in the library that is not immediately apparent. Letters, objects, and sketchbooks secretly brought from Japanese university classrooms will serve as communication tools connecting visitors to the Antique State Library with students from China, Korea, Hong Kong, and Japan who are members of the Inagaki Seminar.

Aliwanay is a fictional product born out of a creative inquiry on sugarcane juice, and a continuous search for that taste of memory. Digitally printed on the fabric is an imaginative product branding for a local juice bar that serves freshly squeezed sugarcane juice. I named it Aliwanay (in Hiligaynon means width, breath, or spaciousness) which is reminiscent of the sitio where my mother’s farm in Sagay is. In an accompanying zine, I share a guide on how to naturally make sugarcane juice without a heavy machine, the insights regarding this inquiry, and my thoughts on reconnecting.

https://atlas.bauhaus-dessau.de/en/journal/decolonizing-design-education Addressing the histories and speculating about the futures of radical design and art education reforms seeking to decolonize ways of knowing and making, the first inaugural issue of the journal looks at the role that different modes of instituting play for these endeavors. Developed in a dialogue between the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation and Gudskul, the issue features a selection of historical case studies, conversations, as well as in-depth reports about education practices in formerly colonized regions, shared by ten art and design collectives. CO-EDITED BY Gudskul (farid rakun and JJ Adibrata) With Schools of Departure, the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation has been developing a digital atlas that aggregates research on the global interconnections of Bauhaus pedagogy with reform projects in art and design education in the 20th century. Instead of assuming the “influence” of the Bauhaus as a “centre” on a non-European “periphery”, Schools of Departure proposes a constantly changing constellation of pedagogical approaches. The beta version of the website, designed by Offshore Studio and launched in April 2022, allowed users to browse through an initial selection of these educational projects, presented in brief school portraits, picture essays, case studies and film sequences. On Wednesday, November 16, 2022, the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation will publish the full version of the digital atlas at atlas.bauhaus-dessau.de This version will feature two additional sections: Travelling Concepts, dedicated to a new e-journal, and an interactive section called Notes. The launch will be accompanied by a public editorial meeting. The event will be conducted on-site at the Bauhaus Dessau Building and as a Zoom webinar. To register, use the RSVP button above or click here. For a detailed schedule and more information, see bauhaus-dessau.de or send an e-mail to atlas [at] bauhaus-dessau.de. The two inaugural issues&nbsp;of the e-journal, published in cooperation with the Indonesian education collective&nbsp;Gudskul&nbsp;and curator&nbsp;Catherine Nichols, focus on the worldwide network of movements that sought a radical reform of the education of artists and designers and, in critique of and dissociation from classical modernism, turned schools back into nuclei of social change. Thus, the first issue revolves around the ongoing practices of decolonisation and their historical predecessors in the field of design education. The second, titled The New&nbsp; Designer—Design as a Profession, focuses on the diverse pedagogical approaches that schooled the emergence of the new profession of artist and designer after the First World War and the further development of this profession in close proximity to capitalist industrial production. A third issue will be forthcoming in 2023. Issue I: Decolonising Design Education &gt;&lt; Decolonising Education Design. Contributions by Asia Art Archive, Another Roadmap Africa Cluster, Babau AIR, Suchitra Balasubrahmanyan, Bishkek School of Contemporary Art, Load Na Dito, Pedro Oliveira, Omnikolektif, Nina Paim, Pangrok Sulap, Salikhain Kolektib, Serrum, Ola Uduku, Unconditionaldesign. Issue II: The New Designer—Design as a Profession. Contributions by Yaa Addae, Claudia Banz, Shannan Clark, Alison J. Clarke, Martin Mäntele, Lesley-Ann Noel, Marina Otero Verzier, Klára Prešnajderová, Ilana Schleich Tschiptschin. In the Notes section, users are invited to edit content, contribute their own research, and curate data with the help an interactive visualisation tool. The digital atlas is aimed at students, teachers, scholars, curators and Bauhaus researchers. Within the framework of existing and future project and university collaborations of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, the platform is to be further expanded in this area. The project, started in 2021, has been further developed as part of the “dive in. Programme for digital Interactions” of the German Federal Cultural Foundation, funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media in the NEUSTART KULTUR programme. https://loadnaditoprojects.cargo.site/Mad-in-Malacanang-Collective-School-Asia-Art-Archive Wed, 28 May 2025 01:59:45 +0000 Load na Dito Projects https://loadnaditoprojects.cargo.site/Mad-in-Malacanang-Collective-School-Asia-Art-Archive Mad in Malacañang&nbsp; <img width="1867" height="1400" width_o="1867" height_o="1400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/97e77b4208b05e04261aea6f21e6c6cb7569202ac61eabe703ff78ff9491b00d/04-4.jpeg" data-mid="233812233" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/97e77b4208b05e04261aea6f21e6c6cb7569202ac61eabe703ff78ff9491b00d/04-4.jpeg" /> <img width="608" height="500" width_o="608" height_o="500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/176c7eb031ab231747a2a5516351971aefba3770729d762a17b124ba2bed2acd/fdwe0847.tif.jpg" data-mid="233812283" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/608/i/176c7eb031ab231747a2a5516351971aefba3770729d762a17b124ba2bed2acd/fdwe0847.tif.jpg" /> Load na Dito, Mad in Malacañang, 2022, Sculpture, acrylic on cardboard, print on paper Mad in Malacañang, video, 9’04’’; sculpture, cardboard Xiamen Dada burning incident, 1986. Fei Dawei Archive, AAA Collections. Load na Dito (est. 2016, Quezon City) is an art initiative focusing on the questions of participation and collaboration in relation to the practice of contemporary art. On display are a video documentary showing a group of Quezon City-based collectives creating a 4-metre-high effigy for a street demonstration in July 2022, alongside a sculpture of fire that refers to an action of Xiamen Dada where the collective burnt more than sixty of their artworks in a public square of the Xiamen Palace Museum in 1986 in protest to the art institutions of that time. Load na Dito’s installation proposes fire as a symbol of change and regeneration, and nods at the ongoing legacy of art collectives such as Ugatlahi Artist Collective that started creating effigies and performances for social justice rallies in the Philippines in the late 1990s.

Initially located on the coastline extending from Parañaque to Cavite, sineguelas and bamboo trees exist in the area to sustain people with options aside from their primary means of living that were anchored on the natural resources of the sea: crabs, mussels, clams, fishes, and its beauty described as nearing the characteristics of Boracay Island. In the late 1980s, its conversion started as a housing program for the urban poor but was eventually entrusted to private institutions as influenced by the rising costs, prime value, and location of the property that redesigned its structure for the middle-income market.Rooted in the action of bringing back what was once lost, given, or left behind, “reclaiming” progresses in various narratives of limiting situations, which challenge the response of individuals and the community. In a disputed land, it is often associated with territorial affairs that distort the use of space—an aspect that has a conclusive connection to the very essence of one’s identity. The concerns on the control and possession of its physicality extend to question personal experiences, consciousness, and social interactions. By relating oneself to a collective cause, freedom on how to live, think and develop sustain.As an invitation to the study that revolves around the theory of Placemaking with inspiration from the concept of "almost curating" on Load na Dito's Kabit at Sabit project, the exploration of the capacity of space (open/public) in holding different methods of production, forms, formats of presentation, and the process of organizing aims to solve specific technical matters regarding the use of space and potentials of curating in local art ecologies. Acknowledging people’s interests, goals, and activities grants social and personal connections, new experiences, and opportunities that transform a space into a place through reformed purposes. Let's dive into our deeply buried stories and evoke the strength to share them with the community. What once lost will now be reclaimed as we bring back our experiences reflected through the former life of Coastal Plaza Condominium.

Art Gallery Kamloops, Victoria, Canada Curated by Makiko Hara https://kag.bc.ca/pub/whose-stories “Almost There" creates an intimate and safe space to exchange personal stories and collectively recognize individual locations and situations under the current conditions that restrain traveling and physical gatherings. Regardless of where we are, the pandemic has made us think of “home” as a site, experience, and idea. At the same time, it has become a real and urgent issue for all of us. How can we transform our perception of the current condition, often described as limitations and restrictions, to gain new insights? We studied the concept of Patchwork Ethnography that our friend Jad de Guzman introduced to understand the new realities molding our practice and everyday life. And thus it became our reference and inspiration to develop the workshop Almost There. <img width="2554" height="1434" width_o="2554" height_o="1434" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c2b22661ddb57314db96787a53574b28aa2a3ac434c2a63dbbe67815fc9fe020/Screen-Shot-2021-12-05-at-12.41.13-PM.png" data-mid="134284542" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c2b22661ddb57314db96787a53574b28aa2a3ac434c2a63dbbe67815fc9fe020/Screen-Shot-2021-12-05-at-12.41.13-PM.png" /> Patchwork Ethnography is a methodological and theoretical approach to critique traditional anthropological fieldwork constructed on the separations between "field" and "home." Traditionally fieldwork is understood as a process that entails a certain amount of time, most often a long-term, in a faraway place. This notion of fieldwork entails “the gendered (masculinist) assumptions of the always available and up-for-anything fieldworker, and anthropology’s proclivities toward suffering subjects.” Patchwork Ethnography considers the researchers' own lives and commitments at "home" not a hindrance to fieldwork but as the fundamental agent shaping ethnographic knowledge and methodologies. (1) Inspired by the methodology of Patchwork Ethnography, "Almost There" tries to playfully confuse the predetermined dichotomy of a researcher and an informant, work and home, art and non-art, description and theory by bringing everyone on the same blank page to post their feelings and observations of the everyday. Using virtual communication tools, the workshop facilitates a shared process of mind mapping that enables us to understand one’s location within the entanglement of relationships and find meaning together.&nbsp; For the exhibition, Whose Stories, at the Kamloops Art Gallery, we have set up two blank walls with the word Home as a prompt. We are thrilled to see how the graffiti wall in the gallery space continues to grow, weaving a beautiful tapestry of words and drawings. It is creating different stages of associations and conversations at different points in time. Today, we look forward to having the workshop by using a virtual wall. The workshop will use Zoom and Google Jamboard as the communication tools and invite everyone to join a shared process of mapping personal experiences, feelings, observations, and local knowledge, prompted by the word “home.” Please start with any words, any images that pop up in your mind in response to the word “home.” We will start exchanging our stories from there. <img width="683" height="834" width_o="683" height_o="834" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1cdae0aafe82483b1d2de19a1059f4fadcdbb4a8de7d12567a7adc5201812991/IMG_20220222_120542.jpg" data-mid="134290571" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/683/i/1cdae0aafe82483b1d2de19a1059f4fadcdbb4a8de7d12567a7adc5201812991/IMG_20220222_120542.jpg" /> <img width="1608" height="1068" width_o="1608" height_o="1068" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/905285440c174670f484081581c9ded2e441a20185711c489e6fed5187761cb1/lores2.jpg" data-mid="134290712" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/905285440c174670f484081581c9ded2e441a20185711c489e6fed5187761cb1/lores2.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="814" width_o="1500" height_o="814" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d53225f62867c006ee53731baf17e80531a0e22f5caf5ff3654a23e2bd9b767e/lores.jpg" data-mid="134290190" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d53225f62867c006ee53731baf17e80531a0e22f5caf5ff3654a23e2bd9b767e/lores.jpg" /> ******* <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4cacd83228ddff1749419e21c6d4d061fa7ea158ecde6cc4f07e3776808484ee/268547659_10158451673963017_2266458793957426128_n.jpeg" data-mid="134289872" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4cacd83228ddff1749419e21c6d4d061fa7ea158ecde6cc4f07e3776808484ee/268547659_10158451673963017_2266458793957426128_n.jpeg" /> Almost There at Silpakorn Art Center, Bangkok, Thailand de-CONSCIENTIZATION&nbsp; Facilitated by Load na Dito (Philippines) with&nbsp; TRA-TRAVEL (Japan), Mahasarakham Mid-field Artspace (Thailand), Penwadee Nophaket Manont (Curator) and Silpakorn Art Center personel and staff. <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d9a56f923e515f511b44de7e1708ded25493419e21d58a12d494dbc87a3ee33e/Load-na-DitoAlmost-Therelores.jpg" data-mid="148047578" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d9a56f923e515f511b44de7e1708ded25493419e21d58a12d494dbc87a3ee33e/Load-na-DitoAlmost-Therelores.jpg" /> <img width="2816" height="1596" width_o="2816" height_o="1596" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3d756abb6f906b8010547d305ff66846e79a76192939a98d1f2123970bee54f6/271529107_3170285213247059_8728472868625184539_n.png" data-mid="134290075" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3d756abb6f906b8010547d305ff66846e79a76192939a98d1f2123970bee54f6/271529107_3170285213247059_8728472868625184539_n.png" /> The outbreak of the Covid-19 since 2020 has interrupted various connections that sustained everyday life. “Almost There" is one of such projects that Load na Dito initiated under the prolonged pandemic condition.

The workshop aims for everyone to a shared process of mapping personal experiences, feelings, observations, and local knowledge, prompted by the word “TRAVEL”. Anyone interested in telling their own stories and listening to those of others is encouraged to join. Participants are also invited to use drawings, photographs, audio clips, or anything else as a way to express the stories. <img width="1240" height="1754" width_o="1240" height_o="1754" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2aa90a903f31cbdec8106a46373a183dc6db9a7bc323a2fe0eafb67c79a9ebde/264420236_4579954212081175_7217193736259261695_n.jpeg" data-mid="134290165" border="0" data-scale="61" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2aa90a903f31cbdec8106a46373a183dc6db9a7bc323a2fe0eafb67c79a9ebde/264420236_4579954212081175_7217193736259261695_n.jpeg" /> “The more the oppressed —the poor people— grasp the dominant syntax, the more they can articulate their voices and their speech in the struggle against injustice.” ~ Paulo Freire, 1996As we lament for social-injustice again and again, only persistence and unyielding to tyrannical power will allow us to unleash self-consciousness, dig into issues logically, accept and dare to face our own desires truthfully, to bring about the ripple effect of changes in our society. It’s been two long years since the end of 2019, when people around the world have had to face the new coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic which firstly took place at the largest wildlife market or Huanan seafood market in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. On January 12, 2020, the Ministry of Public Health, Thailand, announced the first case found outside China —a tourist from Wuhan. It became the beginning of the outbreak to spread across the country, affecting a wide range of people, particularly vulnerable populations with less social capital than others, such as the poor, informal laborers, migrant workers, homeless and disabled people. Limited access to treatment for the groups has reiterated social hiatus, public health inequality, and socio-political instability, under the Thai state’s ministration and visionless leader, with unjustified knowledge and notion. “Conscientization” or the process of creating critical consciousness/awareness of an individual's social reality through reflection and action, in changing the reality we are pressed against from the government, bourgeoisie, patronage system, feudalism, and authoritarian dictatorship. The attempt to critically reflect and act upon social issues as Paulo Freire —a former Professor of History and Philosophy of Education in the University of Recife, in Brazil— referred to and called it “Praxis” is the cornerstone of empowering the oppressed, generating the process of reform. According to Paulo Freire, “We all acquire social myths which have a dominant tendency, and so learning is a critical process which depends upon uncovering real problems and actual needs.”de-CONSCIENTIZATION deliberately probes and challenges through enquiring the conscious and unconscious mind of people in society. When it's time to battle with despair, even life and death, and the world’s one of humanity's biggest crises, how does our ‘mind’ supposedly different from other creatures critically function, query, inspect, reflect upon the root of problems, to generate structural change? How can collective awareness create a rebellion wave among the oppressed?

The book contains texts by Sayaka Ashidate, Chesca Casauay, Iris Ferrer, Sachiko Uchiyama and Eunsoo Yi about their individual experiences, methodologies of practice and the significance and value that they see in art. It also contains excerpts of a roundtable discussion among the contributors as well as a glossary of terms compiled by Ferrer, based on the shared texts and discussions. A manual for group sharing by Denver Garza is included as a supplement. We hope this publication will contribute to the collective effort in making the exhibition meaningful and healthy for everyone involved in the process.
