Medicine for our Martyrs: Philippine Herbal Practices for Collective Grief

A Memorial for the Victims of the Negros 19 and Fundraiser for the Defend Negros Campaign

During this 2 hour workshop, Kai Delgado Pfeifer (they / them) will guide us in making herbal medicinal syrup as a balm for collective grief. We will be crafting this syrup using Gumamela (hibiscus), Bayabas (guava), and Tubo (sugarcane)— three sacred plants of the Philippines which are connected to the cycles of creation and birth. As we craft our medicine, we will ground into meditation with each of these plants, allowing their medicines to move through our bodies and bring light to the grief we each carry. Following our meditation and crafting, we will collectively make a ritual offering of these medicines to the Earth as a way to transmute our struggles into unity.

This practice of medicine making and ritual is situated in the context of Negros 19, which happened 6 months ago on April 19, when a group of activists who were visiting a rural farming community in Toboso, Negros Occidental, was brutally attacked and slain by the Philippine military, resulting in 19 deaths. This attack, which the Armed Forces of the Philippines has claimed as an encounter, is in clear violation of International Humanitarian Law and War Crimes, as the civilian journalists, artists, organizers, and children killed were all non-combatant victims. As we offer to remembrance to our Martyrs, we will also learn about their struggle to support genuine agrarian reform in the Philippines.

The massacre took place on the island of Negros, which is home to the largest plantations of sugarcane in the Philippines. This sacred plant is native to the Philippines and carries potent medicinal properties if used correctly. However, sugar also carries a bloody legacy of exploitation that we seek to transform. By blending Sugarcane with two plants connecting to our origin myths & practices around birth, we will have an opportunity to begin healing the legacy of this plant.

Langit Lupa (Heaven Earth): Film Screening and Discussion

Join us in the Remembrance of the 6-month Anniversary of the Negros 19 Massacre

On September 20, 1985 in the town of Escalante on Negros island in the Philippines, a peaceful protest led by sugar plantation workers ended in a tragic massacre when paramilitary troops fired machine guns on the crowd. At least 20 protesters were killed, and many more injured and traumatized. This was one of the galvanizing events in the Filipino people’s struggle to topple the Marcos dictatorship, and its social memory remains a cornerstone to the ongoing farmers’ struggle for self-determination over their land and resources.

The hour-long experimental documentary, Langit Lupa (Heaven Earth), weaves personal testimonials from survivors of the violent massacre in the town of Escalante in 1985 with sweeping landscape shots of Negros in the present and sequences of luminous flickering plant-like forms, produced with a process of phytography, where plant cuttings are treated with a solution and placed directly onto 16mm film strips, leaving chemical traces on the film emulsion. Paired with testimonies of the horror and loss experienced in 1985 in Escalante, these indexical markings of botanical life suggest the entanglement between the residues of environmental and state-sanctioned violence.

This anniversary screening is dedicated to community journalist and poet RJ Ledesma, who supported the production and organized many community screenings of this film on Negros Island. RJ was martyred in the Negros 19 Massacre, an attack on peasant advocates committed this year by the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

💥 BROOKLYN ART BOOK FAIR: FILIPINO MIGRANTS FIGHT BACK! 💥

This weekend, NY Committee For Human Rights in the Philippines (NYCHRP), GABRIELA-NY, and Mission to End Modern Slavery (MEMS) hosted an educational discussion and collaborative zine making workshop as part of the BK Art Book Fair! Together we learned about the root causes of migration, U.S. imperialism in the Philippines, and how Filipino migrants are organizing to confront their oppressors and build people power!!

Specifically, we highlighted the work of migrant-led struggles such as Tanggol Migrante Movement and Migrante NY and their Justice for Filipino Caregivers campaign in NYC. Our zine-in-progress used handmade paper butterflies to map attendee migration journeys, with their migration stories tied to them. We ended our workshop with a discussion of how we can use our art and cultural work to change material conditions for all oppressed peoples!

Thank you to Brooklyn Art Book Fair for hosting us, and follow Gabriela NY , NYCHRP , Mission to End Modern Slavery Tanggol Migrante Movement and Migrante New York to get more involved in our organizing against for the liberation of the Philippines, Filipinos at home and abroad, and all people!

This participatory study will present zine-in-progress materials on the struggle of Filipino migrants in the United States, addressing the root causes which force Filipinos to migrate, and the system the Philippine government has created to extract money from vulnerable migrant workers. We will share stories from migrant experiences in the United States, highlighting the ways they have self-organized and fought back against exploitation from employers, the US and Philippine governments, and ICE.
