โจ ALITAPTAP 1ST ANNIVERSARY โจ
More than providing access to books and encouraging love for reading, Alitaptap Bookshop also advocates for local literature. Simula nang nagbukas ang pinto ng bookshop, naging madalas na ang mga events natin bilang suporta sa mga local writers sa Soccsksargen.
Nagkaroon tayong ng poetry performances, zine making workshops, zine launching events, at pop-up events in support also of local artists and small businesses. Kasama namin sa mga events na ito ang Timog Literary Circle, Masรก Book Club, at Tridax Zines.
In celebration of our first anniversary, we partnered with Kalipay Cafรฉ to hold "Panaysayon sang Manunulat: Reflections, struggles, and the soul of storytelling." Nakasama natin ang writers na sina Andrea D. Lim, Hannah Adtoon Leceรฑa, at Jade Mark Capiรฑanes na mga manunulat din ng SOX at nasa ibang lugar na for work and studies. Maswerte tayong makasama sila sa kanilang saglit na pag-uwi sa region 12.
Alitaptap Bookshop was created to provide a safe space for readers, writers, and artists. This is a community we're trying to build. If you wish to collaborate with us for similar events, i-message niyo lang kami. :) Together, let's build a community we can all call home.
