About Venazir Martinez:

Venazir Martinez is a Filipina street muralist and visual anthropreneur celebrated for her transformative public art that bridges cultural divides and explores the intersections of tradition, migration, and identity. Born in the Philippines, she has established a distinctive presence on the global art scene with vibrant, fragmented murals that interlace communities and histories. In 2018, Venazir founded the Hilabana movement in Baguio City—a groundbreaking initiative whose name translates to “woven path.” Hilabana transforms urban spaces into living narratives that stitch together stories of the Filipino diaspora and global communities. Her signature red thread motif symbolizes unbroken cultural lineage, resilience, and the invisible bonds linking families and generations. Venazir’s acclaimed works include Ani – Harvested Hopes in San Francisco’s SOMA Pilipinas district and collaborations with New York City’s City Canvas Program. In December 2024, she received the prestigious TOYM award for her exceptional contributions. Her visionary impact continues to inspire communities.
