BE/LONGING: postcards

In conjunction with the BE/LONGING exhibit in 1961 in Siem Reap, Cambodia, I had asked Filipino artists for works revolving around the same concept of identity and home; of their own visual encounters.

The forty postcards below placed within the exhibit space for people to take and to hopefully respond to and give their own postcards.

To submit your own postcard, please email your image(s) to ingaybiswal@gmail.com (medium to high resolution; 4x6.5 inches ratio) so that I may post them here. The images will not be cropped, altered, or used in any other way without the artist's permission.









The submitted images are archived here.

2. Dahil may childhood obsession ako sa Holocaust. Illustrated sa Adobe Photoshop (sequential saving). Maraming tenkyu kay Ivan Reverente, na nadaan ko sa pag-iyak ang pagtulong (i.e. 90%) sa coding. 2008.

**The file size is a bit large, and therefore only plays correctly if buffered for a few minutes before clicking enter (if the intro animation that leads to the menu plays, then it has fully loaded. Otherwise, there'd be kooky links, and the intro animation would be skipped and instead would go straight to the 'Victims' page.)

Excuse the loading time. And the fact that I forgot to include a back-to-splash-page button. bow.

'Lansangan' (Street) is a graphic memoir / graphic reportage submitted as the creative output of the graphic thesis "Exploring Visuality in Creating Graphic Memoirs on ‘Lansangan’ as a Sociopolitical Space" for the BFA Visual Communications program under the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts. The proposal was awarded a Thesis Fund Grant from the UPCFA and the Office of the Chancellor, and the final output was awarded Best Thesis for Illustration and Publication during the graduation ceremony in April 2010.

Started in December 2009 and finished in March 2010. Published by Mango Comics and launched on October 23, 2010 during the Philippine International Comics, Cartoons, and Animation Festival (PICCA Festival).] I extend my never-ending gratitude to Sir Boboy Yonzon and Sir Maldwyn de Pano for publishing it.

*Since it is a project that aims to create a Filipino graphic memoir, it is of course written in Filipino and deals with sociopolitical issues within the Philippines, as within the philosophy of New Journalism that puts great value on consciously subjective and purposely self-conscious points of perception.
