Paghilom 2, in Alitaptap Artist Village, Amadeo Cavite.

History and foundation

 Art begins at the grassroots level in this province, and with the increasing
urbanization of some areas, that means the streets. This is graffiti created by local art
groups on their wall-hunting trips across the province, not the kind of vandalism seen
in the metro or commissioned murals on the sides of corporate buildings. Cavite street
art, or "lowbrow art," has piqued the interest of many residents over the years.
 When Abes Abian, a freelance photographer, put up a series of posters of people
yawning along the main roads of Cavite in 2018, he proved that photography could be
a form of street art. The project titled “A Portraiture and Wheatpaste study on the said
contagious effects of yawning. 
Members
 Rising street artist-activist Archie Oclos to National Artist Kidlat Tahimik, were
invited to engage in the discourse on Philippine art. Anjo Bolardo of Vinyl and Vinyl,
a contemporary artist, also took part in the event with a waiting shed mural project
honoring the Amadeo culture.
 Alelia Ariola, an empowered female artist who paints other empowered females, and
Lirio Salvador, an experimental musician and sculptor who transforms metal scraps
into musical instruments known as sandata, are two other homegrown talents. There's
no need to introduce Emmannuel Garibay. For decades, the Cavite-based social
realism artist has been a household name in the industry.

Here is a scene that has been reborn as a safe place, freed from the power of establishments
and outside powers. Cavite's eco-system encourages artists to pursue their art as they please:
organic, raw, and borne from inclusivity and human understanding, whether by group
meetings like Paghilom or art collectives like WLRS and Cavity.
