okay, y'all! this one is gonna be so cute!!
it's a baybayin workshop, but make it harana night
bring your favourite love songs — the ones that make you feel something, the ones you grew up with, the ones you can’t let go of. we’re going to use them to inspire our baybayin practice. titles, lyrics, or little phrases you want to keep close. and to end the night- optional but highly encouraged karaoke after 👀
✍🏽 what we’ll do
- learn the basics of baybayin (beginner-friendly, always)
- write your favourite song titles + lyrics in baybayin
- create a piece you can take home (or keep close)
- be in community to share music and our baybayin practice
this is less “classroom” and more practice + play
💌 what’s included
- guided baybayin workshop + practice mat
- materials to create your take-home piece
- community art piece facilitated by Bunso Club
- a drink courtesy of Makilala (additional menu items available for purchase)
- karaoke after the workshop hosted by Dante Paolo (if you stay… you should)
💛 who this is for
- you love love songs (filipino or otherwise)
- you’ve been wanting to learn baybayin but didn’t know where to start
- you want a creative, low-pressure way to reconnect to culture
- you’re down for a slightly chaotic, very cute night with community
✧ what is baybayin?
baybayin is an ancient filipino writing system used before spanish colonization
learning in a space that does not require your perfection. it’s about starting, practicing, and praticipating in a living writing system. a night for music, memory, and remembering something that already lives in you
tara, let’s babiessssss
