Abstract

This practice-led project explores Filipina Identity through mixed media graphic design, asking how two halves of a Pre and Post-Colonial female identity may exist in visual and narrative harmony. Through a series of seven assemblages, the practitioner takes the bold landscapes and bright, colourful creatures of Pre-Colonial Philippine mythology into the intensely sacred space of devotional shrines. In doing so, the project reviews key areas of Western Storytelling; Filipino Cubism; and 20th Century Assemblage. By using Western devices to frame indigenous content, the practitioner hopes to create a timeless, familiar narrative with a native twist.
