One if my last events at George Washington University in late 2019. Later this year, I'm going to try out self-produced hybrid events where there will be an online aspect. I'm in a new door studio in downtown SF across the street from the mall at @republikasf. Stay tuned #calligraphy #art #filipinoamerican #filipinx #bahbayin #sulatkamay #kabuay

Working on something. ETA 2-3 weeks. This image is from the Boxer Codex of the Visayan Pintados. When the Spanish arrived, they called what's now the Philippines, Las Islas de los Pintados - The Island of the Painted Ones. #batok #philippines #sulatninuno #baybayin #filipinotattoos
From about a week ago on the @kumuph app where we at @katao_school had a series of Batok talks ending with live tattooong. One of the common questions is regarding all the people assisting. They're stretching the skin so to enable the ink to be applied smoothly. They aren't pinning me down due to pain. There were some times where I could've fallen asleep. One day, I'll talk story about the patterns that was applied by @lanewilcken. It's not that speaking about it dilutes the meaning, it's just not done yet. Salamat for @nataliawanders @natan.decoco @ladislaoraina for the stretch. #batok #handtappedtattoo #traditionaltattoo #philippines #filam #filipinx #bicol #katao
One of my techniques in my calligraphy is to use multiple tools to write a word. In this example, I used a brush, dropper, and marker. #calligraphy #baybayin #sulatkamay #kabuay #philippines #filipinx #artph #art
Have you watched Trese on Netflix yet? I'm rewatching the series again in both English and Tagalog but I wanted to write my initial thoughts on the ᜐᜓᜎ Sulat usage. It's quite prominent and is an important factor. It's quite obvious that the intent was to use the script as Latin was used in anting-antings. The second image is of a handwritten/drawn undershirt that is thought to protect the wearer. I a quoted it a few years ago at an antique shop in Manila in one of my research quests. Head over to blog.kabuay.com to read the post. Have you seen it? What did you think? This is a result of generational work. The good, the bad, the false, the confusion, the grey areas. ALL ?? OF ?? IT ?? #trese #treseonnetflix #tabitabipo #tresebaybayin #baybayin #sulatninuno #antinganting #philippines #philippineculture @tresenetflix
Tomorrow 6/17 -------- Pilipinx Virtual Histories is a collaboration between Kearny Street Workshop and Balay Kreative that explores the cultural impact of the Filipinx and Asian American arts activism community in San Francisco. Lead artist, Kristian Kabuay, and illustrator, ClarizeYale Revadavia brought to life the SF based stories told to us by Jessica Hagedorn, Joel Tan, Mary Claire Amable, and Rupert Estanislao. This two-part event celebrates the launch of PVH (part of APICC’s #usaaf2021), and an exhibition, kalayaan (till every grass blade is afire from every other) which opens at ARC Gallery (1246 Folsom Street) on June 19.
