Here is the last sketch I did with #UskManila at the #AyalaMuseum Amplify Arts & Music Festival. This one was done in the lobby, in the area behind the devotional altar. In my sketch you can see a Kinabiggat (a king post from an Ifugao house) and the end of a Kulintangan (a gong and drum ensemble from the Sulu and Mindanao islands). In the foreground is the 16th century “Jar with the immortals” – from Jingdezhen, in Jiangxi province in China. These are the Eight Immortals—Daoist symbols of longevity and happiness….not just some immortals but ‘the’ immortals.
