Tolong Menolong: A Transnational Collective Festival

We see woodcut printmaking as a collective voice that carries the spirit of mutual aid and solidarity. In the Tolong Menolong Exhibition, we rework the symbol of the bullet as an emblem of shared strength between humans and nature.

This project emphasizes collective creation, involving collaborators from outside the core collective and activating art within public spaces. The printing blocks will be stamped onto clothing, spreading messages of humanity that are reciprocal, layered, and ongoing—art that moves together with the community.
