DEVELOPMENT FOR WHOM? Corruption, Foreign Domination, and the People's Movement for Change in the Philippines

Smash the Silence: A Martial Law and Pax Silica Teach-In and Hip-Hop Songwriting Workshop is a creative endeavor that highlights Filipino resistance against imperialism through hip-hop songwriting and performance.&nbsp; With the recognition that art is a tool for social change, this will take place weeks before the 54th anniversary of the declaration of Martial Law under the Ferdinand Marcos Sr. dictatorship. We honor all who were martyred fighting for democracy and to ensure that the crimes of Marcoses, and their fascist regimes are not forgotten. The current President of the Philippines Ferdinand &quot;Bongbong&quot; Marcos Jr. continues his father&#39;s legacy of brutal political repression and selling out of the Philippines through projects such as the US-led Pax Silica Initiative. Participants will have the opportunity to work with Vancouver&#39;s own Filipino-Canadian artists Francis Arevalo and Kimmortal. Beginners welcome, no experience necessary! Artist Bio:&nbsp; Francis Arevalo is a rapper, music producer, and hip-hop artist based in Vancouver, BC. Born and raised between Vancouver and Surrey, Francis traces his Filipino roots back to Marinduque and Cebu in the Philippines. He was also involved in the local poetry slam scene as a teenager and his music has been described as &quot;energizing, empowering, emotive and memorable.&quot; (Vancouver Guardian) Kimmortal is a queer Vancouver based musician and artist. Raised in Surrey to parents from Pangasinan and Negros Occidental, they weave their queerness and politics in rituals of joy that speaks to the power of collective resistance. 🎵 SMASH THE SILENCE: A Martial Law and Pax Silica Teach-In and Hip-Hop Songwriting Workshop📅 August 26 and September 2, 2026 (Wednesday)🚪Doors will be open at 5:30pm⏰ 6-9PM🍽️ Dinner will be provided🫶🏼 Tagalog fluency not necessary, the workshop will be in English💲Free to attend, but donations of $10-15 via the Zeffy form are strongly encouraged to cover the workshop&rsquo;s costs and to support BAYAN BC&rsquo;s ongoing campaigns📍 Corner of Cambie and Ash St., Vancouver (Exact address will be provided to registered participants) Attendees are encouraged to attend both sessions, and registration is for both!
