The Forest Listens, Their Spirits Cry
Through the stories of Filipino Indigenous queer and women shamans, known as the Baylan, The Forest Listens, Their Spirits Cry seeks to reframe collective perceptions of forests, amplify indigenous and queer voices, and cultivate a vision of ecological liberation—one unbound by oppressive binaries, discrimination, militarization, and colonial structures.
Tubig Alat (Salt Water)
Tubig Alat (Salt Water) takes a profound look into the lives of artisanal saltmakers who uphold a tradition that is steeped in patience, perseverance, and hope.
While the Philippines is home to some of the rarest salts in the world, local salt varieties are rapidly approaching extinction due to unsupportive policies, industrial neglect, and the accelerating effects of climate change.
Tubig Alat endeavors to preserve not only the tradition of salt-making, but also the communities that rely on it.
Mattude
A term for “collecting clams,” Mattude represents not only the act of gathering but also the resilience of the coastal women of Makassar, Indonesia.
The project captures the resilience of the coastal women, sharing their stories and their ongoing fight to preserve both their livelihoods and their spiritual bond with the sea in the face of the degradation of the sea ecosystem—caused by reclamation, pollution, and climate change.
