Welcome to Streetprint Manila

Streetprint Manila is a research project that is part of a larger research endeavour called “Six Continents and Between”. Initiated by Prof. Gary Kelly of the University of Alberta, 6CAB seeks to investigate popular print culture across various geographical, sociocultural, and ethnolinguistic contexts. More specifically, it aims to look at reading patterns and preferences of the Filipino Everyman, or those whom we would largely consider members of the “masa” class.

The Religious and The Occult

Religious artifacts are also a staple in every Filipino household. As with the Bible, practically every household has some kind of crucifix, from simple wooden crosses to life-sized replicas that depict Christ’s crufixion.
