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.
Small replicas of statues of saints are sold everywhere in the Philippines, but perhaps nowhere more so than in or around the grounds of Quiapo. These statues range in size from pocket-sized ones to elaborate life-like versions.
