A grid of three images, with two on top and one across the bottom, all depicting queer Filipino people. Top-left: two women are about to kiss, dressed in soft white and orange, one of which is wearing more masculine traditional clothing. Top-right: two Igorot warriors are kissing in front of a brightly lit sky, a rainbow framing the top of the image. Both wear traditional Indigenous clothing styles. Bottom: two characters, one transmasc and one transfemme, stand in front of a mirror together, their reflections showing their desired gender presentations as they try on different clothing styles. Another character sits nearby, watching them, while also casually holding a rifle as they plan a revolution.

From queer revolutionaries to Indigenous warriors, here’s a sneak peek into the Filipino queer history celebrated in the "We've Always Been Here" zine! 🇵🇭

The painting records fashion, class, and womanhood in the late Spanish colonial Philippines, when portraiture often served as both family remembrance and a declaration of social standing. The artist is unknown, and the women are unnamed, yet the image still preserves their collective presence with unusual force. Three young Filipina women are arranged in a formal studio-like portrait against a dark brown interior with a worn, smoky backdrop. Two stand at left and right while a third sits forward in a wooden chair, creating a stable triangular composition. All three wear elegant late 19th-century baro’t saya ensembles in dark skirts with pale, finely embroidered pañuelo collars and broad butterfly-like sleeves. Their skin tones are light to medium brown, their hair is parted and drawn back neatly, and each wears small gold jewelry. The standing women hold closed fans with tassels or pom-pom ends. The seated woman holds a small red-orange book or case in one hand while the other grasps a white handkerchief. Their expressions are calm, reserved, and self-possessed, with steady gazes that give the picture quiet dignity. Their coordinated dress suggests kinship or shared household identity, but the seated central figure is given subtle prominence, perhaps indicating seniority or importance within the group. The embroidered textiles matter here as much as the faces because they signal refinement, labor, wealth, and participation in a specifically Filipino adaptation of colonial-era elite dress. Because the work is painted on tin sheet rather than canvas, it also belongs to a material history of portrait making that was practical, durable, and regionally distinctive. What remains most striking is the balance between anonymity and individuality: we do not know their names, but their poise, clothing, and measured expressions insist that they be remembered.

She's standing against a dark purple background with beige-orange bokeh surrounding her, and she's wearing a celestial styled bolero, white frilly button down dress shirt, and pink satin pants

Trying to find time to draw, but here's an old art I did a year ago for art college. We were trying to recreate Art Deco and the song Dilaw by Maki has been stuck in my head that whole time, so I based the art off of it XD

Dated 1875, this painting is described in Museo Nacional del Prado records as an “estudio del natural” (a study from life) made at the Manila academy, part of a group of portraits by Filipino artist Esteban Villanueva y Vinarao presenting “tipos del país” (“types of the country” aka “local types”). The title “Mestiza” invokes a Spanish-colonial categorization for mixed ancestry and an “identity” shaped by power and hierarchy. It is a waist-up portrait of a young woman, shown seated and turned three-quarters looking past us rather than meeting our eyes. Her skin is warm medium-brown, with gentle highlights on the forehead, nose, and cheekbones. The modeling is smooth and careful, emphasizing a quiet, self-possessed expression. Her brows are softly arched and her lips are closed with a faint tension at the corners that can read as wary, thoughtful, or simply reserved. Dark hair is neatly center-parted and brushed back into a low bun, with a thin band of light catching along the hairline. Small gold-toned earrings glint at each ear. She wears a white blouse with vertical rose-pink stripes and broad, puffed sleeves. At the neck and sleeve edges, white lace and embroidery create a soft, scalloped border that contrasts with the crisp stripes. The paint catches the fabric’s sheen as bright along the shoulder and sleeve tops, deeper in the folds, so you can almost feel the weight and coolness of the cloth. A fine chain necklace has a square, gray medallion. She emerges from a simple backdrop of dark brown field transitions to a cooler, pale gray on the left. Villanueva y Vinarao, trained in Manila and later in Spain, paints with academic restraint rather than spectacle. The neutral ground, controlled light, and averted gaze suggest interior life, not display. Now in the Prado’s collection and on loan to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, this portrait also reminds us how images travel while the people they picture are too often left unnamed.

Digital art of a southeast Asian couple, one visibly transmasc with stylized vines as top surgery scars, surrounded by a worn stone building and many different flowers and plants. The transmasc character is also using a cane, and the characters are leaning close, possibly about to kiss. At the top is a small box that says "Page artist" and at the bottom is a colorful banner that says "We've Always Been Here."

Artiodaktyl ( @artiodaktyl.bsky.social ) will be illustrating a group of queer besties hanging out (while organizing revolutions!) in the late 19th-century in Cavite, Philippines. Expect colonial-era fashion, with queer and trans friendship and love!

Digital art of two characters (presumably Filipino) posing somewhat intimately. One sits, adjusting a flower crown on their head, while the other kneels and has their arm wrapped around the first person's waist. At the top is a small box that says "Page artist" and at the bottom is a colorful banner that reads, "We've Always Been Here."

For the We've Always Been Here zine, Mankadavi ( @mankadavi.bsky.social ) is bringing us to the Philippines with two queer Igorot warriors in the mountainous Cordilleran landscape.

Love in Neon. I wish I was better at articulating everything I’m feeling inside. It’s so easy to feel defeated, it’s so easy to have apathy, but we shouldn’t.
I’m happy to have my art as a way to release all the energy for the words I couldn’t say.

You really want all of them?” The 5 are in the background with blank looks on their face with the acceptation of Sinigang who has a devious smirk on her face, almost giving a “I like your style, Kanin” type vibe.
