Had the chance to interview visual artist, Manila Ryce during the 2009 Festival for Philippine Arts and Culture (FPAC) in San Pedro, CA. Manila Ryce talks about his art style, subject of choice, and a look at some of his projects. You can check out his works at JWHarrison.com
You can hit Manila Ryce at his website, on facebook, twitter, and watch him drop knowledge on youtube. The man does it all!
Baybayin (aka Alibata) is an ancient script used by the native Filipinos, pre-dating Spanish Colonization. The Bathala Project utilizes this bold rhetoric in its artwork in an effort to proliferate the cultural knowledge and significance of this dead script... Among other things.
