Exploring Cultural Identity Through Traditional Filipino Weaving Practices
Habi, which translates to "woven" or "to weave", explores Filipino Identity through the documentation of traditional weaving practices. The artefact is a visually constructed publication that employs a contemporary approach to conventional Filipino design. My project frames Indigenous practices through Western approaches to design, where various processes including screen printing, mono-printing, typography, and photography facilitate a culturally rich and timeless publication that resonates with all viewers. My project contributes to a deeper understanding of traditional Filipino weaving practices and its importance in fostering Filipino Identity.
