Doctrina Christiana – Thoughts on Colonialism, Tattoos, & Baybayin

Get a FREE copy of my latest ebook featuring a complete copy of the Doctrina Christiana and words from my personal tattoo artist, Aleks Figueroa.

Over the past 5 years I’ve been meeting people at my events at festivals, learning institutions, museums and online and it became apparent that many people don’t how Baybayin works how relevant it is to rediscovering our pre-colonial past. I spend a lot of time explaining Baybayin and I feel its a subject people can be passionate about but need assistance.

I had plans of launching the Baybayin School program alongside with my documentary but I’ve decided to launch the program ahead.

The focus will be on the basics on how to write and read Baybayin. It will be for beginners who wish to learn the basics of the script.

If I just described you, and you would like private online mentoring from me, then this program is for you.

FEEDBACK PLEASE

Before I launch, I want to know what YOU want and what are your problems in getting started with Baybayin so I can be certain to help you reach your goals.

To help me determine this, I need feedback from as many of you as possible. Even if you have no plans of joining my program, I would still appreciate the feedback. If I know what people struggle with, I can provide the best assistance.

REWARDS FOR FEEDBACK

To encourage feedback, I’m offering a soon to be released new ebook titled “Doctrina Christiana: Thoughts on Colonialism, Tattoos, & Baybayin” for FREE. It features a complete copy of the Doctrina Christiana and words from my Baybayin colleagues.

I’ll also give a 3 FREE early entries into the program to the people who provides the best feedback.

I’m launching this program soon, so I need your feedback withing 72 hours.

I return to the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco on 10/3 to teach the Baybayin, talk and show some of my work. Also, I’ll be creating FREE custom Baybayin pins! Show up and there might be additional surprise freebies.

I’ll only be there for 2 hours at the North Court 12PM–2pm

Watch master tattoo artists, led by Aleks Figueroa of Dream Jungle Tattoo, in action creating tribal tattoos for the contemporary Filipino Diaspora. Joël Barraquiel Tan will discuss the symbolism in this art form from 1 pm-2 pm in the South Court.

Aleks Figueroa of Dream Jungle Tattoo leads a live tattoo session with a talk by poet Joël Tan. “URBAN SAVAGE: 22nd Century Pilipino Tattoo Ritual” will address Alibata, Kalinga, Tinalak, and Baybayin, common terms referencing contemporary Filipino diasporic tattoos. These pre-Spanish symbols and cultures build a sense of pride and empowerment, as well as a sense of nationhood resistant to colonialism. Perhaps this explains why so many modern-day urban Pin@ys wear tattoos for headhunters, the afterlife, and so on. Explore how the meanings of these symbols are changing and why. Join master tattoo artist Aleks Figueroa, Tony Ancheta of Inkies Tattoo Studio, artist and curator Joël Barraquiel Tan, and choreographer Alleluia Panis in the creation of a 22nd Century ritual for Pilipino Tribal Tattooing.

I’ll be at Pistahan @ San Francisco Yerba Buena Gardens 8/14-15. At the Creativity Pavilion, there we will host 3 exhibits: 1) Baybayin (aka Alibata) art, 2) Surat Mangyan and ambahan 3) Traditional Tribal Filipino Tattoos. FREE Baybayin workshops, carving and painting demos. Look out for my latest artwork at the festival. See Pistahan.net for more info. See you there!
