Pili nuts are endemic to the Philippines. Attendees will create prints with them based on their spirit animals that they draw from a spirit animal deck.
Attendees will create a print inspired by their drawn spirit animal. The animal spirit card decks provide a lot of comfort during troubled times and moments of imbalance or misalignment. They remind us that we’re a part of a larger ecosystem and that humans used to coexist with animals as equals. The animals drawn can serve as partners, supporters, and friends walking alongside us in our journey.
They can create the animal design based on:
• Climate that the animals live in
• Texture: fur, feathers, scales, wings
• Element: water, fire, air, earth
Materials included:
• Pili nut shells
• Paper, canvas
• Paint
☆ By attending, you consent to photos being taken and used in future marketing materials.

Tsismosas Art Collective is a Pinay-led collective of women artists founded in 2022 based in New York City. The creation of the collective is a response to the need for greater representation of Filipina/x, AAPI, and BIPOC artists through art exhibitions, workshops, networking events, and collaborative projects and programming.
Inspired by the Filipino tradition of gathering to share stories (“tsismis”), they reclaim conversation as a form of care, cultural preservation, and collective empowerment. What is often dismissed as gossip becomes something much deeper: the passing down of wisdom and the joy, grief, and healing of spreading knowledge and understanding by sharing life stories with each other.
