About WHO TURNED ON THE SKY? by Marielle Atanacio:

A girl who enjoys all the wonders of the sky starts to question if someone turns on the sun, the stars, and the moon. She asks the townspeople for help as she begins her trip to find the answer to her question. This playful picture book is a great way to learn about some of the figures of Philippine mythology as a family, and to celebrate the magic and beauty of pre-colonial stories.

About MUNGAN AND HER LOLA by Justine Villanueva:

Mungan and her Lola tells the story of the child Mungan who loves to make her lola smile. One day, Lola is inconsolably sad. Mungan and her family engage in Filipino rituals of care—cooking sabaw, performing hilot, and playing kulintang—to uncover the source of Lola's sadness and find a way to bring back her smile. This story is inspired by the Bukidnon epic which tells the story of Mungan, the Babaylan (Healer) of Bukidnon.

About AMINA AND THE CITY OF FLOWERS by Christina Newhard:

Amina, a young Yakan weaver, is homesick for Basilan, but she finds inspiration for her loom in the diversity and color of her new home, Zamboanga City. "Amina" touches on themes of creativity, diversity, bakwit/internally displaced peoples, and the matriarchal traditions of Philippine weaving.

Taipan Lucero And Calligrafilipino, Art And Advocacy That Celebrates Pre-Colonial Writing And Traditional Filipino Culture

  • Esplanade @ Yerba Buena Gardens (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

A cum laude graduate of the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts, Taipan Lucero started out as an independent creative industry professional, providing design and marketing services to a long list of clients that included Fortune 500 companies.

Eventually working as the only Filipino designer in a company in Kobe, Japan, he experienced first hand through practicing Japanese Calligraphy or Shodo, the immense love and respect the Japanese show their culture. Inspired by this, he quit his job and went back home to start CalligraFilipino.

CalligraFilipino, a portmanteau of Calligraphy and Filipino, is his art and advocacy that celebrates pre-colonial writing and traditional Filipino culture.

His works have been showcased locally and internationally, and has been constantly featured by mainstream outlets on print, radio, television, and new media, both here and abroad. As a supplement to his art, he conducts workshops and has spoken on multiple occasions in academic institutions as well as local and international conferences.

The Hinabi Project: The Art Of Philippine Textiles

  • Esplanade @ Yerba Buena Gardens (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The Hinabi Project (THP) started out under the wing of Philippine Writers and Artists, Inc. (PAWA), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in San Francisco.

THP seeks to increase awareness of and appreciation for the exquisite and rich tradition of Philippine weavings and textiles. The project aims to encourage the families of weavers, embroiderers, and designers of traditional Filipino textiles to continue working on their crafts by supporting sustainable household economies and their incorporation into the culture industries. Through these efforts, the project hopes it will inspire Filipinos at home and overseas to rediscover their rich textile heritage and incorporate aspects of this heritage in their modern lifestyle, thereby ensuring the continuation of a living culture and related craft industries. 

The Hinabi Project introduces to the San Francisco public, exhibits of textile arts by artisan families from Philippine ethnolinguistic communities who produce fabrics from pineapple fiber, Philippine cotton, and abaca (musa textilis) as part of its on-going awareness program. It has had three exhibits in San Francisco: The Art of Piña at the Asian Art Museum in 2015, Weaving Peace and Dreams: Textile Arts of Mindanao at the Mills Building in 2017, Mountain Spirits: Textile and folk Arts of Cordillera and Ilokos at the Mills Building in 2018. The next exhibit is scheduled for June 2021 at the historic San Francisco Mint on 5th Street and Mission.

“Embedded Bricks” by Cristine Blanco (San Francisco)

Born and raised in the Bay Area, Cristine Blanco is an interdisciplinary artist who works in sculpture, video and installation. Her works take environmental injustices, the precarity of resources, and familial story as her starting point. Inspired by her grandmother’s home in the Philippines, she explores the impact of rising sea levels and considers how human connectivity and adaptation are essential to recovery and transformation. Through repetition, reenactment and reconstruction, Cristine processes and makes sense of a constantly evolving world by documenting personal and global changes.

WE ARE SO PROUD TO ANNOUNCE OUR HERMANA MAYOR FOR THIS YEAR's PISTAHAN! As we celebrate the 31st Anniversary of Pistahan, and our Bayanihan Spirit, we're excited to announce our first transgender Hermana Mayor, Tita Aida, a dedicated LGBTQ+ advocate and HIV/AIDS activist. During the HIV epidemic, she ensured prevention and education reached A&PI LGBTs in San Francisco. Her work with the San Francisco Community Health Center has secured ongoing funding for transgender programs, including mental health care and research studies. Nationally recognized, Tita Aida was the first Asian-Pacific Islander trans woman appointed by then-Mayor Gavin Newsom as Commissioner on the Status of Women. She also served on the Entertainment Commission of San Francisco. In 2012, she created public service announcements in the Philippines to raise AIDS awareness. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she helped distribute masks and provided safety training. Recently, Mayor London Breed honored her during Transgender History Month in August 2024. �Tita Aida looks forward to the "Bayanihan Experience" at Pistahan, saying, "We've come a long way! Let's continue growing, building bridges, and showcasing the beauty of our Philippine culture. This is a great moment to connect Filipino youth and elders, learning from each other to preserve and celebrate our culture." #Pistahan31 #Pistahan2024 #pistahan #pistahansf #pinoypride #filipinofood #filipinopride #filipinoheritage #aapi #aapiheritage #parade #martialarts #filipinomartialarts #livestream #internationalevent #foodie #food #sanfrancisco #sanfranciscoevent #freeevent #familyfriendly #freeandcheapsf #fyp #PistahanFestival2024 #Pistahan31ParadeandFestival
