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.
One of the graphic novels that has received critical acclaim for their masterful take on the genre is Gerry Alanguilan’s Elmer, a dystopic narrative about chickens gaining (human) consciousness, and the ensuing dismantling of social structures and norms that follow.
