Conference materials designed for the 2nd WADAH International Gathering 2010 held in Manila, Philippines.
WADAH Titian Harapan is a Jakarta, Indonesia-based foundation established "by women, for women, for all". The word Wadah is an acronym derived from Wanita dan Harapan or “Women and Hope”. The foundation grew out of a need to help impoverished mothers, and to create a better future for their families and communities.
They asked me to design the conference materials for the 2nd WADAH International Gathering 2010 held in Manila, Philippines. The theme was “Sharing, Caring, and Giving: The Philippine Experience”.
I decided to base the motif of the event on the pabalat, a form of traditional folk art originating from San Miguel, Bulacan, and more commonly practiced by women. Pabalat was once commonly taught in home economics classes, but because it takes time and patience to cut the patterns, it is now practiced by very few—the most notable of whom is the daughter of the woman who popularized the art.
