Istorya Studios Presents : Gasera ng Paglingap Comic Book Launch
Art Fair Philippines - Incubator 7
February 18, Saturday 3-5pm
A compendium of four stories, Gasera ng Paglingap was written by children’s rights advocate Chary Mercado precisely to make readers uncomfortable, or unsettled. All her protagonists are children, confused and distressed by what they see and feel. All the villains are sexual predators seen in present Philippine society, ranging from online opportunists to heartless parents who pimp their children, to benefactors respected in the community.
Istorya, the education advocacy of famed artists Marina Cruz and Rodel Tapaya, decided to publish the stories because they feel they should be “required reading” in schools to reach children at risk.
Please join us to hear about the critical societal problem that this book seeks to address. Meet Mique Aguiluz, Marx Fidel, Dione Kong and Mariko Nakamura, the illustrators who have brought the characters and Filipino settings to life. Come to support this unique collaboration of literary and visual artists who are fighting to protect the innocence of Filipino Children.
