Van Vianen also joined the “La Mode en Moi – the Fashion in Me” art and fashion exhibition at the Business Art Fair in Paris last October 18-20, 2024 alongside 24 Filipino artists from around the world.
October marks the Indigenous month and Whang-Od, a living cultural treasure, exemplifies the essence of "katribu" and "kapwa." As the oldest traditional Kalinga tattoo artist, she continues to pass down the ancient art of "batok" to younger generations. Katribu, Kapwa Pilipino: To live in the spirit of our shared identity and care for our fellow tribes in the Philippines.
