Out of care for folx facing activism burnout, Hello Barkada offered two artful and re-grounding activities in June: an opportunity to make flower arrangements at the June edition of No More Markets, and a chance to check out and make art during Open Studio Hours at The Print Studio in Athenaeum Art Center. Stay tuned for future meetups at both of these and other spaces. Until then, please make time to recuperate before recommitting. We need you!
Hello Barkada is tabling at L.A. Zine Fest on Saturday, March 1, 2025 at The Broad Museum in Downtown L.A.! This zine fest marks Hello Barkada's first zine fest of the 2025 / Year of the Snake. Find me at Table 28, where I'll have zines, buttons, and crochet tings, to raise funds for mutual aid efforts in Altadena, Gaza, Goma, for land back efforts of the Gabrielino-Tongva, and for HB operations.
How learning to see the entrenched practices of empire within the popular arts has shifted my perspective on what it means to be a conscientious TV viewer and filmgoer, particularly as it relates to the BDS call to boycott Disney. Originally published on January 10, 2024.
Hello Barkada published the first issue of Isang Mahal, an annual compilation zine, in 2022 to feature original works by commissioned artists and writers. Since then, Hello Barkada has published and distributed over 20 zines, including Isang Mahal issues 2 and 3. Learn why zines are central to the work of Hello Barkada.
