He is based in the Philippines and has many brilliant decks: Vanessa and Tarot de Maria Cecilia are widely available. He’s created other beautiful decks but they may not be as easy to come by? I vote for including Lynyrd Narciso's many wonderful decks, too! And, since we're on the subject of Asian decks, I'd like to nominate the Dreaming Way Tarot. True, most of the people portrayed are, or seem, European, but the creators (Rome Choi and Kwon Shina) are both Asian (Korean, if I remember correctly), and the whole flavor of it is very much Asian.

I am Filipino. Southeast Asian. Def not White. 😉 Though, we do have interesting mixes in our country, given our colonial past (Spanish and then American), and precolonial trade with our neighbors (Indian and Chinese, but also Arab missionaries in the South, and the modern mixed ethnic results of our migrant people). I am of maritime Southeast Asian stock (Indonesians and Malaysians are our brothers), but am also of partial Chinese, Indian, and Spanish descent (there might be some Mexican in it, because there was a Mexican colony in my father's province during the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade era, but I am not sure). Most of my published and unpublished works can be found here: https://www.paraluman-studio.com/ (as Gregory would know! Lol she has copies of all of them! 😄) Not all of them are "ethnic", though. The "ethnic" ones I have done are: Tarot of the Curious East (pan-Asian), Tarot Rikit (pan-Southeast Asian), some Asian elements in Tarot ng Pasasalamat, and Anino Lenormand (which is inspired by Filipino and Southeast Asian textile patterns and shadow puppets, and even graffiti). The last one is more accessible than the former, which are old, limited-edition creations. My two cards for US Games' Pride Tarot also feature "ethnic" Asian themes: an Asian monk in the Seven of Pentacles, and a Filipino sorbetero (ice cream man) in the Six of Cups. I felt, aside from the "inclusiveness" of the pride theme, it would also be a great opportunity to promote inclusive cultural diversity. I am glad threads like these exist. I do hope there is more welcome discussion about BIPOC creators and creations. I am glad too that this thread has a more welcoming atmosphere (one that is open to discourse rather than hasty judgment). I have seen discussion elswhere (FB) where people seem antagonistic towards "non-ethnics" who try to work using "ethnic" themes, even if it comes from a genuine interest and appreciation for the cultures which were the inspiration for the artworks. Made me realize how much I miss (and prefer) forum discussions over social media ones. 🙂 -Ly Edited July 7, 2020 by BlueToy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Cuban friend of mine visited Manila and told me, "I felt like I was back in Havana! It was unbelievable!" Yes, there definitely are similarities with our culture and Latin American ones (but then, we also have similarities with Indonesian and Malaysian cultures). (We should talk more about those Filipino films you've watched via PM. I could recommend a couple more to you, based on your tastes, at least based on our previous conversations in Aeclectic :D) About Spanish - it's also true from the opposite perspective. I don't speak the language (it was abolished from our educational system a couple of years after I was born), but can understand phrases and simple sentences. Like, the other day, I was listening to Volcanes Dormidos by Carlos Sadness and I was surprised that there were whole phrases I could understand - which seemingly came out of nowhere. 😄 18 hours ago, FLizarraga said: I know what you mean. The whole "appropriation" discussion is definitely going too far, IMHO. The sad trend nowadays, at least in social media, seems to be 1) have a personal interpretation of something and assert it as universal reality (I feel this is discriminatory. And therefore it universally is!), and 2) assume the creator's intent regarding the artwork (That's a brown skinned woman in a field, with scars on her back! That's slavery, that is! The creator is a white woman! She has no right depicting slavery! - this actually happened last year, sad to say). I feel things have become more and more polarized (probably as a consequence of the toxic environment in social media). There seems to be no discussion anymore. It always seems to be "I'm right, you're wrong", or "you did something bad, therefore, your entire existence is evil!". LOL I'm sorry, it really does seem frustrating at times. I remember having a short discussion with someone in the comments section in FB, about Major Tom's Tarot's deck creation thread in AT, and wondering how it was that people who disagreed back then in the forums did so with so much respect, politeness, candor, and even humor.

Especially on facebook. If there was no cultural exchange at all, people like me would still be listening to songs like Here We Come A-wassailing, and we couldn't have any tacos.

It sounded like the creator hadn’t begun? Either way I’m excited about it and once it’s an actual deck it can go on the list 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
