Tabi Tabi Po
A good friend of mine that helps run 1:AM Gallery in San Francisco is putting together an art exhibition benefiting the victims of the recent Typhoons. I wish I could go.
If you know anybody in that area please urge them to check out this special show.
1:AM gallery presents “Tabi Tabi Po,“ a multidisciplinary group exhibition that explores the rich and colorful creatures of Filipino Folklore through Urban Contemporary art, featuring artists who are either Filipino or have Filipino ancestry. The Kapre, Manananggal, Dwende, Tikbalang, and Aswang are just a sampling of these haunting creatures that will be brought to life in this exhibit. This exhibit will explore the cultural significance of Filipino folklore- both myth and reality. It aims to explore the migration of native Filipino tradition, from its rural origins of the countrysides of the Philippines, to the urban cities of Metro Manila, and across the Pacific and Atlantic: the San Francisco Bay Area, the streets of Los Angeles, the Boroughs of New York, the beaches of Hawaii, and the mountains of Norway. Tabi Tabi Po will be a multi-media installation, incorporating sound, structures, murals, indigenous craftwork and, of course, original 2-d art.
A percentage of proceeds will be donated to relief efforts in the Philippines who have been affected by Typhoons Ondoy (Ketsana) and Pepeng (Parma). Donations will be going directly to the communities that have been most impacted by the Typhoons. Proceeds will go to BAYAN Philippines and BALSA (Bayanihan para sa Sambayanan / “People’s Cooperation for the People”) Relief Operation.
