SUMMARY:The Hinabi Project:  Weaving Peace and Dreams ~ Textile Arts of Mindanao
DESCRIPTION:EXHIBITION:  October 5\, 2018 through November 4\, 2018 ~ Free and open to the public \nOPENING RECEPTION & CURATOR TALK:  Friday\, October 5\, 2018 ~ Free and open to the public \n The Hinabi Project (THP) brings to the East Bay the unique textile art of the weaving communities of Mindanao Mandaya\, Bagobo\, Higaonon\, T’boli\, Blaan\, Yakan\, Tausug\, Maranao and the Maguindanao. Traditional weaving was circumscribed by ritual and ceremonies of the life-cycle birth\, marriage and death. The fabrics produced were meant to address these ceremonial needs. Weaving was a contemplative and peaceful endeavor for the women of these communities. Textiles also serve as peace offerings to resolve community conflicts and uneasy alliances.  With the new demands of political determinism\, new ideologies\, and the consumer technologies — what typically would be a peaceful activity has been disrupted but the indigenous weavers continued their craft throughout the twist and turns of the country’s political fortunes. Weaving was and still has been for most\, a means for additional income to an essentially peasant/farmer subsistence economy. Now\, they also struggle between the tenets of traditional weaving customs and the demands of the local and tourist market while working in social conditions less conducive to weaving. With this disruption\, the continuity of the indigenous weaving tradition\, the passing on of its heritable designs and technique\, and the self-pride and worth of work is a cause for grave concern. Through this exhibit\, The Hinabi Project hopes to highlight the possibility of evolving newer concepts of design and work\, thereby\, encourage other designers\, weaving artisans\, and scholars to talk about their future direction. \nPresented by Philippine American Writers and Artists’ (PAWA) The Hinabi Project in collaboration with National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) of the Philippines\, Non-Timber Forest Products-Exchange Programme (NTFP-EP) CustomMade Crafts Center\, the Philippine Department of Tourism in San Francisco\, and the Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: The Forbidden Book: The Philippine-American War in Political Cartoons Presented and Curated by: Abraham Ignacio
DESCRIPTION:THE FORBIDDEN BOOK uses political cartoons from 1898 to 1906 to chronicle a little-known war between the United States and the Philippines that lasted over 15 years\, in which 126\,000 U.S. troops were deployed and hundreds of thousands of Filipinos were killed. Today\, few Americans know about the brutal suppression of Philippine independence or the anti-war movement led by the likes of writer Mark Twain\, peace activist Jane Addams\, journalist Joseph Pulitzer\, steel magnate Andrew Carnegie\, labor leader Samuel Gompers\, and Moorfield Storey\, first president of the NAACP. These cartoons glorify manifest destiny; portray Filipinos\, Puerto Ricans\, Cubans\, Hawaiians\, Chamorros\, and other colonials as dark-skinned savages in need of civilization; and were used to justify a war at a time when three African Americans–on average–were lynched every week across the south\, and when the Supreme Court approved the “separate but equal” doctrine.
