From the Mother Tongue Shapeshifting & Reclaiming collection.
Nominated by Technology and Media Artist James Clar |
"Baguio and the Cordilleras are a unique area of the Philippines that maintained pre-Colonial culture, however with new developments and tourism this is being lost. This book documents the cultural aspects around the town marketplace that in the future will be reduced selling tourist souvenirs." |
Markets of Resistance is a convergence of forty-four distinct voices. Academic, cultural and visual essays, interviews, poetry, and an archival matrix of documents, images and anecdotes woven into a dynamic tapestry, address socially and cultural charged issues: re/self/ decolonialization, cultural currency, the vibrant cultural heritage of the Cordillera in the Philippines and the Indigenous Peoples resistance to Spanish and American occupations, Baguio as a multicultural creative hub, tourism, and radical pedagogy.
