Ralph C. Lumbres

For this co-creation workshop, I incorporated a systems thinking activity called Triangles where participants move interconnectedly—learning about interconnections we see in the community and the world. Through the movement, we created large-scale abstract artwork from soil on washi (traditional Japanese paper). The soil mixture was taught to me by a Talaandig artist. Talaandigs are one of the indigenous tribes of my hometown, Bukidnon and soil painting is one of their art practices. 

 

This workshop is a project with Immigration Museum Tokyo and two public schools in the city of Adachi, in Tokyo, Japan.
