Birthing the warrior mamas and wise ones. Managing change and transitions. Honoring our stories and the struggles of those before us. Redefining it all. May we honor our paths with integrity.

Special thanks to our squad for coming together for this shoot @lovejamiebx @delosphoto @bladesandneedles @siguevalentina @princessa_mae_ ⚔️✨ Directed & shot by @viviankimx Styled by @_denniskim for @adidas Music by @gintoseeds Support their album Anyo at Halad 🗡️ Sacred Adornment by @bukobomba . . #repost @adidasla: Survival Arts​ ​ Jamie Yancovitz, Darcey De Los Reyes, Alicia Yurong, Arianne Olegario and Inabel Bee Uytiepo are the main leaders for Survival Arts.​ ​ The Academy of Survival Arts was founded and established in Bacolod City, Philippines to protect womxn and girls from sexual assault violence. They call it, Kali, the indigenous fighting arts of the Philippines. ​ ​ Originated in 1897 and introduced to the United States in 1973, Kali was brought by 3-time Hall of Fame awardee, Weapons Master Instructor, Grand Tuhon. He has shared this knowledge in over 25 countries, making his contributions unsurpassable. ​ ​ “A lot of people are familiar with other martial arts, but not so familiar with Kali," said Jamie Yancovitz, founder of Survival Arts. “It’s really important for us to bring knowledge to our communities and say, 'Hey, you should be proud that this comes from our ancestors.'”​ ​ @adidasLA is sharing the knowledge of survival through Survival Arts to protect womxn, girls and families from all forms of violence taught by someone who is Filipino through a sense of community. ​ ​ “Most martial arts spaces are dominated by men. That’s where the idea for Survival Arts really came into play. Breaking the mold of men to dominate the fighting arts and bringing it back into the hands of womxn.”​ ​ Director/photographer @viviankimx​ 1st assist @samrrr5​ 2nd assist @lukasmarkou​ DP @peterhouu​ Stylist @_denniskim​ Sound @lyles​ Production Coordinator @elizabethbrummer​ PA @justicecitsuj #SurvivalArts #adidas #LA #ProtectTheFamily #AAPI #Kali ᜃᜎᜒ (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeVBJVGOi_g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

STILL HERE ⚔️ Speaking Truth to History, Our Stories, Our Survival Memorial Day ancestral healing ceremony 2022 for @revolutionaryayat (love). ᜉᜐᜎᜋ gratitude to @lani.asuncion for your vision and creating space as we expressed our rage and grief through ritual movement and sound. ⚔️⚔️ The images and language used on this monument are false and offensive depictions of the truth of US empire and violence. We work to express the truth through ceremony that honors ourselves & our ancestors. May we release our ancestral trauma together and apart. More stories to come as the #WarriorWisdom unfolds.🗡️ #repost @lani.asuncion @revolutionaryayat: On Memorial Day, In collaboration with @survivalarts and @embracingechoes a ceremony was held at the Hiker Monument in Arsenal Square in Cambridge, MA; one of 13 monuments throughout Massachusetts, out of 52 reproduced across the United States. It commemorates the Spanish American War and occupation of the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. The performance speaks truth to the false histories depicted on the monument. Aiming to bring healing and liberation to those it has tried to overshadow, oppress, and dominate. More soon on the documentation of this work, find more on this project at @revolutionaryayat ⚔️✨ . . . #revolutionaryayat #revolutionarylove #liberation #thehiker #hikermonument #spanishamericanwar #philippineamericanwar #philippines #puertorico #cuba #unitedstateshistory #americanhistory #memorialday #performance #ritual #healingactivist #contemporaryart #publicart #spatialjustice #stillhere #aapi #aapiheritagemonth (at Cambridge, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeRfRjkpHC2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
