Babay L. Angles aka Bomba Brown (Angelica Janabajal Tolentino) is a San Diego, CA based Pilipinx interdisciplinary artist, dj, rest and joy practitioner, educator, and community organizer from San Diego, CA, Okinawa, Japan, and Olongapo, Philippines. She practices deep listening and channels movements to express the inherited resilience and violence of the Pilipinx psyche. She fuses intuitive movements inspired by funk, bass, percussion, environmental sound, breath, and site specific locations. Weaving connections between the strength of Pilipinx of the diaspora, people of color, womxn, queer and trans communities, indigenous peoples and those at the margins, she builds community through shared creation of holistic artistic resistance and wellness.

About Walang Hiya NYC
Walang Hiya NYC is a group of 13 shapeshifters of the Pilipinx diaspora who create ritual and artistic practices to transmute systemically inserted colonial shame into ancestral, communal and individual spiritual, mental, emotional, physical wellness and joy.
We are inspired by the ways in which colonized resilient peoples of the diaspora have utilized song, dance, ritual, and procession to keep our spirits alive throughout history.
We ask:
We ask how both festival and funeral procession can be utilized as a vehicle for collective mourning and rebirth? We ask how can we Pilipinx of the diaspora, dig through the contradictions of our deeply embedded histories of pain and resilience to imagine futures and myths of haunting, scandalous, and erotic joy?
We imagine a future of magic cross-cultural spiritual connections, searching for the bridges between Voudoun, Ifa, Santeria, precolonial Pilipinx practices, Catholicism, Hinduism and our intuitive diasporic Pilipinx practices in the kitchen, in the water, in the earth, at the karaoke machine, in the strip club, and at the Palenke. We dig. We conjure. We process. We are future. We are here.
We hope to share our rituals in community to continue to grow our practices, selves, and each other.
