Weaving is culture, identity, and way of life for some of the most illustrious indigenous communities in the Philippines. The country has a vibrant weaving tradition, from the red and white fabrics of the Gaddang and Kalinga of the north, to the striped malong of the Maranaos and Maguindanao of the south. “Textiles are signifiers of meaning,” writes Norma A. Respicio in “The Patterns of Culture in Philippine Traditional Textiles,” expressing a people’s creativity, worldviews, belief systems, and ideologies.
The motif is called a kusikus, fashioned after a whirlpool, thought to shield from furious winds. Significantly, Respicio notes, kusikus, aside from being depicted on shawls and blankets, was also popular on masts.
Mindanao, for its part, shelters weaving communities with shared traditions, their non-Christian motifs common to some textiles, believed to be an expression of defiance against Spanish and American colonizers. The weaving communities here include the Mandaya, B’laan, Maranao, Maguindanao, Yakan, Bagobo, T’boli, and Tausug, each with weaving traditions and techniques distinct from the next.
