TODAY! Celebrate with us! South of Market Community Action Network (SOMCAN) will be having an online launch and ribbon cutting of WE LIVE HERE, art in utility boxes created by @mel.vera.cruz Please join us online at www.facebook.com/balaykreative TODAY at 5pm!... Balay Kreative will be streaming the ceremony on Facebook page - tune in to watch!

IT'S ALL BEING INSTALLED! After years of advocacy and community design meetings, the concept of putting art on utility boxes in SOMA is now happening! What's be...ing put up, you wonder? The full ABAKADA, Filipino alphabet which has 20 letters. The ABAKADA concept came from families of the FEC Galing Bata program whom provides linguistically sensitive and culturally responsive programming to TK-8th grade students and families in Bessie Carmichael/FEC School. During the virtual sessions, there were discussions on the designs and how the words for each letter represent and relate to the Philippine culture and our SOMA Pilipinas community. "We hope that this SOMCAN x FEC Galing Bata (GB) collaboration project will provide a sneak peek into the Philippine language, culture, and history. Aside from it being a learning tool, we believe that these flashcards showcase the long-lasting history and continuous presence of the Filipinos in San Francisco. The sentiment behind this project was to expose everyone, enrich the youth, engage families, and empower the community. We are excited for everyone to enjoy this art in the streets of SOMA soon!" ~ Ate Shari, GB staff and Kuya Mark Belocura, SOMA resident, GB alumni and now a GB staff Want to give big love and shout out to our partnered lead artist Mel Vera Cruz for creating the process and designs with the families, to Kristian Kabuay for the baybayin script and to Charlene Tan and Sherwin Rio for installing these. @galingbata @somapilipinas @mel_vera_cruz #WeLiveHere

Read up on the "Art on Utility Boxes", a collaborative project between SOMCAN and Galing Bata that will install full ABAKADA alphabet on Utilities Boxes around SOMA Pilipinas. We hope that this collaborative project will provide a sneak peek into the Philippine language, culture, and history. Click on the link below.
