slide 1-3: “odda’ agaga’ (red dirt)” 2024, 35mm film

slide 5: “weaving currents” 2026, risograph
with cultural and natural elements from micronesia and melanesia (specifically papua new guinea, marshall islands, yap, chuuk, belau, islas marianas, and fiji) this design was created to showcase the both the similarities and ingenuity and beauty of our distinct regions

at a loss for words for just how meaningful this was for me to show my art alongside my dad at a micronesian and melanesian art gathering at home in the bay (swipe to end for a batik my dad made that was the cover of the 1985 bank of guam calendar) 🫀🥹 grateful to have shared space and experienced vending as an artist! @weaving.currents

un dångkulo na saina ma’åse to @1kc_tica and everyone who had a hand in organizing the event as well as everyone who purchased a print or sticker! because of y’all i was able to donate to @micronesiaclimatealliance @teamkoka @ohala.foundation typhoon sinlaku relief efforts 🇲🇵🩵

i hope to print another edition of the risograph and get my website up soon to continue to sell my prints and stickers for sinlaku fundraising but in the meantime check out sinlakuaid.org and stormkokua.com for kona low relief efforts. climate change most impacts those who least contribute to it, namely our islands, so pot fabot consider donating on this earth day 🌎 and reflecting on your impact on the islands you vacation to.

Biba Mes Chamoru! Before the month ends, we’d like to introduce a new I Sakman series: Che’lu Chats! 💬

This series aims to create living portraits of Chamorus in diaspora through video interviews. Hafa i estorian-ñiha? Taimanu ma ketungo yan i hale’-ta?

For this first video, we interviewed Mariquita “Micki” Davis, a Chamoru artist based in Los Angeles. Head to the link in our bio for the full video, available on YouTube and at isakman.com ⛵️

The registration for this year’s Prugråman Sinipok, the Chamoru language and cultural immersion program for adults that Miget helps to teach is now open!

The program is scheduled to take place in Guam from July 7-19, and is sponsored by CHELU and the Guam Museum. This will be the fourth year of the program, with each a little bit different mixing together classroom work, games, workshops, hikes, lectures and even visits to places like the Hurao School, I Sagan Kotturan Chamoru, The House of the Chamorros or I Kumision I Fino’ CHamoru.

If you are interested in learning more, Miget will be hosting an informational briefing today (3/4) Guam time at 11:30 am, which would be Monday (3/3) at 5:30 pm PST. The briefing will cover details such as logistics, , curriculum goals, tuition costs and more:

If you are interested in registering you can do so at this link: sinipok.org/register.

As most Chamorus today can’t speak their native language, there is more interest than ever in working towards fluency. While more and more resources and programs for children are being created, adults struggle to find ways to “level up” their speaking ability. This program was created by volunteers all dedicated to perpetuating the Chamoru language, to help give them that support.

Biba Chamoru! Biba Prugråman Sinipok!

Since 2022, the Guam Museum and Chief Hurao School have sponsored a two-week CHamoru language and culture immersion program. Through this program dozens of language learners from ages 19 - 80 have been given the chance to “level up” their experience by sharing space with others committed to increasing their knowledge of the CHamoru language and culture.

The third year of this program is set to start on July 8th and will take place at California State University, San Marcos and is being supported by the non-profit CHELU. This program is made possible through the work of volunteers who have given up their time and resources to support others in their learning journeys. The organizing committee for Prugråman Sinipok 2024 includes: June Pangelinan, Clarissa Mendiola, Alex “Tåddong” White, Dabit Taitingfong and Michael “Dudu” Van Lyon.

This video documents the participants from the first year of the program in 2022.
