An Anthology of Joy, Museum of Half Truths
(2021)During my artist residency at Museum of Half Truths, I created a piece celebrating Baybayin, the pre-colonial ancient script of the Philippines. This is a collaborative artwork where the words written in Baybayin were hand drawn by participants of a workshop that I led on, In Celebration of a Lost Script.
During the workshop, participants were asked for phrases or words they associated with joy. Responses entailed: holding hands, family, change, peace, hope, culture and freedom.
