Join us as I delve into a meaningful conversation with Mark Libatique the man behind "TK Baybayin", an artist I instantly connected with. We share a profound love for Baybayin, the Filipino pre-colonial script, and have mutual connections that bring us closer.
Mark, a proud Jersey boy, opens up about Filipino stereotypes stemming from the 'divide and conquer' colonial mentality. Originally pursuing a career in copy editing, he adapted to the evolving landscape of print journalism and now thrives in an administrative role at a museum.
Our discussion touches on Mark's return to reciting the rosary and how he reconciles his Catholic faith with his LGBTQ identity. We explore LGBTQ acceptance in the Philippines, Mark's journey into Baybayin, a tool he uses to craft 'Filipino spaces,' and his ambitious goals within the world of Baybayin art.
