The Role of Avant Garde in Developing Countries

Avant garde art in the Philippines?
avant garde design in the Philippines?
DIY movement/ culture
Pre Colonial Revivalism/ Pre Colonial Pragmatism

in the Philippines:

Design & Development
(design becomes the appendage for development work? instead of sustainability principles embedded in development and design practices)

• sustainable design = implicit?
• sustainability principle =implicit?
• sustainable development = explicit

Education, Business & Social enterprise
(do we have integrated systems built for education, business and social enterprises? is there a need for integrated systems?)

• community cultural development = implicit?
• cultural content development = implicit?
• community telecentres, eSkwela, microventures = explicit

traditional community development + community cultural development = sustainable development?

cultural mapping + avant garde art + avant garde design + DIY practice + lateral thinking & informal learning in grassroots communities + precolonial revivalism/pragmatism = CULTURAL CONTENT DEVELOPMENT?

What is cultural mapping?

theory is to application
physics: applied physics :: cultural & media theories : cultural mapping


I'm from the "Third World", why should I bother about concepts?
Because romanticism, fatalism, overratedemotions rendered us Filipinos as comatose beings.

Tama na kasi ang emote mag-isip at magtanong naman kahit minsan.
