MARAMING SALAMAT! This pop-up was truly powered by community โ by pakikipagkapwa. ๐ซถ๐ต๐ญ๐ฆ๐บ
For the past three days, you showed up with open hearts to listen, exchange stories, learn about Philippine textiles, bond over Lola memories and a shared love for sinigang, and to touch our fabrics the way our ancestors once embraced them as a second skin.
It fills our hearts and makes us kilig to the bones knowing that we are growing a community of Proud Weave Wearers taking root in Australia. Every conversation, every story shared, and every weave carried home is a thread connecting us back to our heritage and to one another.
To our wonderful hosts, Taguan Cafe and MAGENTA HOUSE โ thank you for opening your doors, becoming our home away from home, and making us feel so embraced as part of the Bebot Barkada family. It has been deeply inspiring to witness Filipino creatives uplifting one another, proving that when we come together and wear our Filipino hearts on our sleeves, we are powerful and free.
There could not have been a more meaningful way to celebrate Independence Day weekend.
We keep coming back here because of all of you. And who knows, we might just stay and grow here too. Sa uulitin Bebot Barkada! ๐๐๐บMaraming Salamat sa pagmamahal.
