Illustrators Don Aguello and Rafael Salazar have been collaborating with KulArts to gather stories from Filipino residents of the South of Market and transform them into heroic tales of resistance and community-building, now published as the comic book anthology Isugid Pinoy! Over the course of two years, the artists and KulArts hosted story gathering and illustration events, seeking stories of neighborhood heroes and heroines.
Isugid Pinoy! comic book anthology and posters now are available at the Arkipelago Book Store 1010 Mission Street, San Francisco, Calif. KulArts is presenting a reading from the publication as part of a Pinoys Here and Now series at Bindlestiff Studios during the weekend of October 20-21.
