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

The Quiapo Church is also known for housing the Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno or the statue of the Black Nazarene, a statue of Christ carrying the cross to Calvary. The statue attracts thousands of devotees every year when it is paraded around the streets of Manila during the Feast of the Black Nazarene.
