SUMMARY:Unfolding (언폴딩) Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Unfolding (언폴딩)\nInhwan Oh and Kyungmook Kim\nPreview on 14 December 2024\, on view until 22 February 2025\n1/F Galleries\nUP Vargas Museum\n\nThe UP Vargas Museum\, together with the Ministry of Culture\, Sports\, and Tourism of the Republic of Korea\, the Korea Arts Management Service\, and the Fund for Korean Art Abroad\, presents the exhibition of works by artists Inhwan Oh and Kyungmook Kim organized by Dominic Mangila. Unfolding (언폴딩) considers the experiences of two artists who embody othered identities in a society largely devoted to masculine ideals. Inhwan Oh and Kyungmook Kim unpack vignettes of life in South Korea as members of the LGBTQIA+ community in film and video works\, and through art that engages labor and marks processes.\n\nThrough them\, they summon the worlds of prisons and places of incarceration juxtaposed with spaces of freedom and gaiety– to discover and mark a social identity that refuses to settle with the laws and sanctions of a patriarchal nation.\n\nUnfolding (언폴딩) will be on view at the 1/F Galleries of the UP Vargas Museum starting 14 December 2024. Write to vargasmuseum@up.edu.ph for details and related information. The museum is located inside the University of the Philippines Diliman Campus and is open from Tuesdays to Saturdays except holidays\, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.\n\nFor updates on events\, exhibitions\, and advisories check our socials on Facebook\, Instagram\, or Twitter @upvargasmuseum.\n\n__________________________\nAbout the artist\n\nInhwan Oh\n\nInhwan Oh (b. 1965) is Associate Professor at the Department of Painting of the College of Fine Arts at Seoul National University. His participatory works and site-specific projects contextualize a particular space and time and seek to dismantle the cultural codes  formed in the relationship between the identities of individuals and groups within a patriarchal society. Some of his more recent solo exhibitions were held at the Smith Gallery of Davidson College in North Carolina (2019)\,  BAIK ART in Los Angeles\, California (2019)\, and Bongsan Cultural Center\, South Korea (2018)  He recently participated in group exhibitions at the Arsenale in Venice\, Italy (2019) and at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Gwacheon\, South Korea (2018). He was a recipient of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and SBS Foundation’s Korea Artist Prize in 2015.\nKyungmook Kim\nKyungmook Kim’s (b. 1985) video art\, documentary\, and narrative films expand the form of cinema by exploring the precarity of the marginalized such as homosexuals\, transsexuals\, sex workers\, and North Korean defectors. He made his directorial debut with Me and Doll-playing in 2004. Some of his other notable films include his Things Trilogy (2005-2014)\, A Cheonggyecheon Dog (2008)\, and Grace Period (2015).

MACANIP\nFellow\, Division of Urogynecology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery\nDepartment of Obstetrics and Gynecology\nUP – Philippine General Hospital\n\nMS. EDITHA VALENCIA\nPerspective from Patient\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #224\nJanuary 31\, 2025 (Friday) 12nn\nLeaking Bladder in Women\nAno ang Solusyon?\n\nUrinary incontinence (UI)\, or the involuntary leakage of urine\, represents a significant health concern affecting millions worldwide\, impacting quality of life across various demographics. While often perceived as an issue primarily affecting older adults\, UI can manifest at any age\, influenced by a complex interplay of physiological\, lifestyle\, and environmental factors.\n\nIn this week’s episode\, we will try to provide a comprehensive understanding of this prevalent condition and the various types of UI\, including stress\, urge\, mixed\, overflow\, and functional incontinence. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the multifactorial etiology of UI\, encompassing risk factors such as age\, pregnancy\, childbirth\, menopause\, obesity\, diabetes\, neurological disorders\, and certain medications. We will also address the often-overlooked impact of lifestyle choices\, such as fluid intake\, dietary habits\, and physical activity\, on bladder function.\n\nOur expert speakers will discuss the various diagnostic tools and methods employed in evaluating UI\, including patient history\, physical examination\, bladder diaries\, and urodynamic studies. In addition\, our speakers will provide an overview of current management strategies\, ranging from conservative approaches like lifestyle modifications\, pelvic floor muscle training (Kegel exercises)\, and bladder retraining\, to more advanced interventions such as pharmacotherapy and surgical options.\n\nOur main presenter is Dr. Joanne Karen S. Aguinaldo\, who is an Associate Professor III from the Division of Urogynecology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery of the UP-PGH Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Our reactors are Dr. Divine S. Macanip\, who is a fellow-in-training from the same division\, and Ms. Editha Valencia\, who will provide her insights from the patient’s perspective.\n\nJoin us as we foster a collaborative approach to managing UI\, ultimately improving the lives of those affected by this common yet often underreported condition.

SUMMARY:BANTAYANON: "Liminality" as an Identifying Feature of Bantayanon Grammar
DESCRIPTION:[Philippine Indigenous Languages Lecture Series]\nBANTAYANON [bfx]: “Liminality” as an Identifying Feature of Bantayanon Grammar\n31 January | Friday | 1:00 PM\nCSSP Health & Wellness Center\n\nBrian Baran\nInstructor\nUP Department of Linguistics\n\n—\n\nThe opening installment of the 2025 Philippine Indigenous Languages Lecture Series (PILLS) will be on Bantayanon [bfx]\, a language spoken on the Bantayan island in Cebu and surrounding islands.\n\n—\n\nBantayanon (ISO 639-3 [bfx]) is a language that is not too well known outside of its home Island of Bantayan in the Province of Cebu. That may be because the language has been and perhaps continues to be confused with Cebuano\, Hiligaynon\, and the other languages spoken on the island and this multilingual nature of the Bantayanon and tendency to switch to Cebuano has resulted in some speakers describing their speech as saksak-sinagol ‘hodgepodge.’\n\nWhile Bantayanon is and should be considered a distinct language\, I attempt to show in this lecture that the boundaries between Bantayanon and the other languages of Bantayan are not discrete and that this “liminality” or in-betweenness is the identifying and distinguishing feature of Bantayanon grammar. To demonstrate this\, I will look at three examples of liminality in the language’s grammar including the varying realizations of the lateral consonant /l/\, the dichotomy between the markers =y and sing\, and the synonymity of lat\, pod\, and sad ‘also.’ I will also attempt to explore some of the possible functionalities of this liminality in linguistic accommodation\, identity establishment\, and boundary-making and their implications in the further study of Bantayanon and other similar languages as indiscrete yet distinct grammatical systems.\n\nAng Bantayanon nga Binisaya (ISO 639-3 [bfx])\, usa sya ka sinultian nga di kaayo kilyado sa gwa sang Isla sang Bantayan sa Lalawigan sang Sugbo. Ang rason sini basi tungod kay padayon nga ang ini nga sinultian maabihan nga Sinugboanon nga Binisaya\, Hinilonggo/Hiligaynon\, o nano pa na sinultian sang isla kag ining pagka-multilinggwal sang mga Bantayanon kag ang ila nga kasagad sa pag-Sinugboanon mao tingay ang rason kon ngaa gitawag nila ini nga sinultiang saksak-sinagol.\n\nBisan tuod lain nga sinultian ang Bantayanon kag angay lini kilyaon isip lain na sinultian\, akon ipakita sini na lektyur nga di tin-aw ang utdanan sang Bantayanon kag iban pa nga mga sinultian kag ang ini nga “pagkataliwa” o pagkaara sang tunga-tunga amo ang timailhan kag nagpalain sang usa ka gramatikang Bantayanon. Aron mapakita ang akon buot pasabot\, pagahisgotan ko ang tyo ka pananglitan sang pagkataliwa sa gramatika sini nga sinultian labot na ang lain-lain nga pagkalitok sang katingog lateral nga /l/\, ang dikotomiya sang mga pangmarka nga =y kag sing\, kag ang pagkasinonimo sang lat\, pod\, kag sad. Dugang pa sini\, usisaon lat nakon ang pipila ka mga possible nga kapuslanan sini nga pagkataliwa sa linggwistik nga pakasama\, pag-establisar sing kakilyaan\, kag pagmuhon kag ang ila lat nga mga implikasyon sang padayon nga pagtuon sang Bantayanon kag sang iban pa nga subong nga sinultian isip mga nalain pero daw di gayd bwag nga mga sistemang gramatikanhon.\n\nSource: UP Department of Linguistics Facebook

SUMMARY:Participatory Tools and Mapping Methods for Community-Engaged Learning
DESCRIPTION:Consultation\, collaboration\, outreach and shared leadership are some of the key words/terms that characterise the works of community-engaged geographers involved in participatory mapping practices and advocacies.\n\nCommunity-engaged learning emphasizes collaboration and participation to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes for both students and community partners. By connecting concepts with real-world applications\, this approach enables students to actively contribute to solving local challenges while developing critical thinking\, problem-solving\, and collaboration skills. It facilitates the connection between higher education and local communities by fostering community awareness and encouraging the involvement of students in addressing pressing local issues.\n\nFor the first Heo/Geo lecture for 2025\, the Philippine Geographical Society (PGS) and the UP Department of Geography through its Geographic Information Systems and Techniques (GIST) research group\, cordially invite you to a lecture of UPD Geography faculty Ma. Simeona Martinez titled Participatory Tools and Mapping Methods for Community-Engaged Learning. This online talk will be on Friday\, the 31st of January 2025 at 5:30 in the afternoon.\n\nIn Ony Martinez’s community-engaged research\, mapping and spatial tools contribute to place-based learning by enabling students and communities to visualize places at various scales and explore the distribution of spatial features such as infrastructure or resources in relation to potentials and risks in their locality and surrounding areas. In effect\, spatial tools help educators and students bridge the gap between abstract knowledge and community realities. Similarly\, maps serve as essential resources for community members to identify challenges and devise strategies to address these issues collaboratively.\n\nThis lecture introduces practical tools and participatory mapping methods that educators can integrate into their teaching practices to promote collaborative and experiential learning. These methods\, traditionally used for community appraisal\, mobilization\, and planning\, facilitate working with communities in documenting community assets and in addressing spatial issues in a collective and engaging way\, where students co-produce meaningful outputs in partnership with community members and support organizations. Through participatory mapping\, students and communities can collaboratively document assets and analyze community issues. Drawing on both literature and personal experience\, the presentation will reflect on the contextuality of place\, forms of participation\, and the role spatial technologies in fostering critical place-based and community-oriented learning.\n\nProf Ony Martinez teaches mapping methods and the use of Geographic Information Systems for collaborative research in diverse areas such as hazard and disaster risk reduction\, land cover change\, and development planning. She also develops learning modules on digital cartography and basic techniques in analyzing and interpreting remotely-sensed imagery. She is co-convenor of the Program on Alternative Development in the University of the Philippines Center for Integrative and Development Studies (UP CIDS- AltDev) and a member of the core research team of Counter-mapping PH Network.\n\nThe talk given by Ony Martinez is the 85th lecture since the Department of Geography re-instituted (and subsequently rebranded the Geography Colloquium into the Heo/Geo Lecture Series) a space that invites academics\, civil society\, community and industry practitioners to share their research\, advocacy\, and technology-knowledge to geography students\, faculty and staff. Prof Martinez’s talk fits most of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by United Nations Sustainable Development\, but especially #10 (Reduced Inequalities) and #11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).\n\nTo participate in the talk\, please register through this link: https://tinyurl.com/54zf2uwd\n\nSource: UP Department of Geography Facebook
