Textiles of the Philippines

Textiles of the Philippines is a special collaboration between PJ Gubatina Policarpio and Ida Noelle Calumpang culminating in a one-of-a-kind interactive book featuring the diverse textile-making traditions of the Ifugao, Bagobo, Yakan, and Tausug peoples. Bringing together accessible information with original hand-painted illustrations, the book honors the exquisite handiwork of expert weavers and textile-makers across the Philippine archipelago.

This publication was originally produced in conjunction with the exhibition CrossLines: A Culture Lab on Intersectionality presented by the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center and is in the collection of the Thomas J. Watson Library at The Metropolitan Museum of Art among others.
