forth space productions

Close out BUMUO with us on Saturday, July 27 from 2-4pm! In alignment with our goal of collective healing, we’re closing the show with an intention circle led by Maya Pilgrim (@simayamalaya ) where we make space to honor the reflections and bonds that this project has inspired. This is an opportunity to recognize that goodbye is not the end; to commit to ourselves, our community, and our work. ✨ Can’t make it to the closing? You can still see the show tomorrow, Saturday 7/20 at @massgallery from 12-5pm or reach out to us via DM or email to schedule a curator walkthrough! 📸 @letakphotography #forthspace #austinartists #atxart #atxartists #atxincolor #filipinoartist #filipinoartists #filipinxart

We're still basking in the afterglow of such a beautiful opening 🥹 And we're excited to see our community again at our artist talk tomorrow, July 8 from 6-8pm at @massgallery !

Peep behind the scenes of our BUMUO photoshoot 📸 Make sure you RSVP for our inaugural exhibit opening on June 29 from 7-10pm at MASS Gallery through the link in bio! photographer: @joi.conti models: @abigail.sernal / @givemecashmere / @ches_alan reel editor: @abigail.sernal studio: @2perfproductions #forthspace #austinartists #atxart #atxartists #atxincolor #filipinoartist #filipinoartists #filipinxart

bumuo (Tagalog, v.): to put together derived from the root word buo (adj.) which means “whole” After enduring almost 400 years of colonization, what does being “whole” mean for a 7,600-island archipelago; a tenth of our people untethered from our land and scattered across the entire globe? Through BUMUO: Rebuilding the Filipino Body, artists @himaya_studios , @intellastierre.art , @joi.conti , @leepaje , @givemecashmere , and @pjraval come together and chart a path between the still-red scars of our history to honor our persistent resistance and envision a healed future as kapwa. 🇵🇭 Supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department, this exhibit will open in collaboration with @pinoypotluckatx at @massgallery on June 29, 2024 from 7-10pm and run until July 27, 2024. The opening reception will feature a lounge and photo booth provided by our friends at @moontowerrentals , beats by @flobama91 , and of course, a whole lechon. 🐖 Dust off your barong or favorite tropical wear, bring your community, and join us for an evening of art, food, and solidarity. 🌴✨ RSVP and learn more about the exhibit and the artists through the link in bio! poster design: @acebae photographer: @joi.conti models: @givemecashmere / @abigail.sernal / @ches_alan shoot location: @2perfproductions #forthspace #austinartists #atxart #atxartists #atxincolor #filipinoartist #filipinoartists #filipinxart

“forth space” combines the sociological concept of the fourth space as a realm where meaning is made with the brand’s values of impactful and sustained progress. Our mission is to disrupt the arts industry by amplifying the work of underrepresented creatives and contributing to reciprocal artistic economies. graphics & reel: @acebae

forth space is an alliance of art and progress. As a brand, we had fun translating our values of truth-telling, community, and cultural advocacy into a visual language 💫 Expect a lot of bold and ephemeral collages, curving lines and shapes, and a playful yet sophisticated color palette amongst negative space—all representing a vessel for the reiterative process of creating. 🤲🏽 forth space visual brand identity: @acebae photographer: @joi.conti model: @abigail.sernal photo studio: @2perfproductions #forthspace #austinartists #atxart #atxartists #atxincolor #filipinoartist #filipinoartists #filipinxart
