In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, join us for a special discussion and interactive workshop exploring Filipino culture and script writing. Baybayin is an ancient script  that was used widely in the 14th to 19th centuries in the Philippines, before Spanish colonization. This cultural expression is currently experiencing a revival led by artists and scholars including Mark Libatique, who will lead this workshop in the 3rd County Courthouse. All materials provided, no experience necessary. Recommended for participants 12 and up.
