Bahalanaism
A MANIFESTO BY ERWIN ROMULO
About the Book
Bahalanaism is Erwin Romulo's manifesto on applying the indigenous Philippine philosophy of Bahala to creativity, work, and innovation. Far from promoting indifference, Bahalanaism encourages the deliberate embrace of the unexpected to spark new ideas and push boundaries. While deeply rooted in artistic practice, the principles of Bahalanaism extend beyond art, offering a framework for thinking differently, taking bold decisions, and cultivating innovation in any field. Every edition is translated into German, while retaining its original context, making the manifesto accessible to an international audience of artists, thinkers, and innovators.
