Lakambini Sitoy (@bing_sitoy ) writes from fragments—an image, a line, a passing scene—slowly shaped into stories through time and thought.

A writer, visual artist, and an educator; her work moves across themes of feminism, environment, and identity, returning to them in cycles. For Sitoy, the process never really stops—it lives in daydreams, in stillness, in the spaces before the words arrive.

This is the first feature for Ilhanay, a docu-series on some of Dumaguete’s literary pillars; in partnership with the Dumaguete Literary Festival (@dumalitfest )

Bing Sitoy: Vandringer
01.05.24 - 31.05.24
Månedens kunst i Kulturhus Måløv
https://bib.ballerup.dk/arrangementer/godt-og-blandet/bing-sitoy-vandringer

Måløv-kunstneren Bing Sitoy præsenterer “Vandringer”: en udstilling med malerier og tegninger

Malerierne viser Bing Sitoys fascination af landskaberne omkring Måløv, som hun møder på sine hyppige vandringer – bronzealdergravhøjene, den århundredgamle kirke, moserne, der afspejler himlen, som de gamle så som et overgangssted mellem den jordiske og den åndelige verden.

Ved siden af disse billeder, der i høj grad er forankret et bestemt sted, er der havlandskaber, hvor hun præsenterer landet og havet som noget tidløst og nærmest abstrakt.

Billederne er inspireret af Bings barndoms tropiske vandlandskaber og hendes rejser til eksotiske steder.

Vand findes ofte i hendes malerier, hvad enten det er en dams stille, glasagtige overflade eller det glitrende hav.

Udstillingen rummer også portrætter af kunstnerens familiemedlemmer og venner, udført i en realistisk stil.

"Jeg stræber efter at fange stemningen i øjeblikket, uanset om det er glæden ved en baby, der oplever havet for første gang, eller en ung pige, som er fortabt i sin mobiltelefons verden," fortæller Bing.

"Jeg er primært en historiefortæller, og hvert maleri føles som et øjeblik i en novelle eller roman. Det menneskelige ansigt er som en bog, hvis vi gider læse den."

Udstillingen består primært af olie- og akrylmalerier og af tegninger i pastelkridt.

Om Bing Sitoy
Måløv har været Bings hjem siden 2008.
Hun arbejder som engelsklærer på Studieskolen i København og maler i sin fritid. Inden hun flyttede til Danmark, var hun journalist og litteraturlærer i Filippinerne.

Profuse thanks to Krip Yuson for his untiring efforts in bringing the work of the country's best authors and artists to publication.

At The Evening Paper's offices, 1996. Alfred Yuson (editor-in-chief), Dahl Bennet, Dennis Serfino, Ikabod creator Nonoy Marcelo (RIP), Lito Yonzon, Nini Yarte, Sara Lowther and myself.
Those were good times! I was editor of the Lifestyle section and did a fair bit of articles as well, some of which will be shared here.
Thanks to Krip, The Evening Paper had some of the best literary talents writing for its pages, and some of the best artists too. taken in Manila, Philippines by @bing_sitoy

I love these end-of-term classes where the students bring food from their respective countries and, after checking homework and discussing some aspects of the English language, just eat, chat and relax. Italian holiday cakes... French macarons, Lebanese cookies... North Sea prawns on rye bread.... delicious!
The group had been together for three or four semesters. I was their lucky substitute teacher. #Studieskolen #EnglishatStudieskolen #internationaldenmark by @bing_sitoy
