About us

An independent creative community creating and sustaining collaborations involving rural and marginalized communities and impact-believing artists.

Our intentions:

Using our talents and artistic approaches to facilitate the transformation of unskilled rural people into empowered makers and creatives through our eco-design and self-development workshops

 

Creating and selling unique, almost-zero-waste, compassionate, and story-rich products made by the ingenuity, landscape, and struggles of the Ilonggo barrio / purok

 

Holding mindful and immersive activities that allow artists and creatives to commune with their purpose in community-building such as our eco-arts camps, eco-crafting workshops, zen playgrounds, rooted tours, and volunteering opportunities

 

Initiating art events that showcase art with social impact, spiritual enrichment, and relatable language – opening it up to the public – upholding the spirit of education, awareness, and inclusion

 

Challenging the single story about ‘the poor’ and suggesting different perspectives through authentic storytelling from the peripheries

We are based in Iloilo, Philippines.
