About

What's on?

In partnership with Think+DO Tank, Anakbayan Sydney and Reesecore take over 40 Harris Street, Fairfield, on November 22nd for 'Pamana Ng Paglaban (A History of Resistance): Language, History & the Art of Baybayin', This workshop extends on Anakbayan Sydney’s first primer on Baybayin, a pre-colonial language system of the Philippines. In this participatory workshop we will:

  • Learn about the history and cultural significance of Baybayin and its role in the resistance
  • Create our own personalised Baybayin script font with a chance to use the font for a take-home zine or print

More specifically, Anakbayan members Josh Hernandez and Reese Claro (author of ‘From Baybayin to Abakada’) will discuss the history of Baybayin, reading and writing in Baybayin, and the ancestral knowledge that language reveals to us about the cultural identity of the Philippines. In keeping Baybayin alive, they will communicate the importance of preserving Indigenous cultures and languages as resistance against the colonial and imperial tactics to subjugate the culture of the masses.

All levels of proficiency in both Baybayin and Tagalog are welcome, including beginners or first-timers. No prior knowledge of the Filipino language is required, just an eagerness to learn and an earnest curiosity about Baybayin and Filipino culture. Come as you are!

Refreshments will be provided by Anakbayan Sydney's Community Kitchen.
