DESCRIPTION:Amor Eterno Arte presents Dosayan \nArtwork by Luis Marroquin\nOpening 
 Reception: Saturday August 9th 7pm-11pm\nExhibition dates: August 9th – 
 September 30th \n\nDosayan is an indigenous, Northern Philippine word for 
 the act of reclining on a wooden surface, when someone enters an 
 introspective mood. It is sung to the creator sky god Kabuniyan as a prayer 
 for peace and unity. \n\nLuis Marroquin presents a body of work of carved 
 skateboards and their physical prints. These intricately carved skateboards 
 transcend into another life. Inspired by the energy that surrounds us, Luis 
 explores natural, ancestral, and human images. The skateboards disappear 
 into warm wooden women inset with precious stones reminding us of our 
 origin. Mayan bats, the four directions and images of Pakal, the Mayan 
 intergalactic ruler, reveal a living culture that is grounded in the 
 spirit. \n\nLuis is an essential catalyst in our East Bay and SF 
 communities. Not only is an artist, Luis is a voice and organizer for the 
 real need that affect our children and elders. Dosayan, a prayer for peace 
 and unity, flows through Luis’ work. \nPrecious stones and mementos inset 
 in each skateboard where chosen from a lifetime of experiences with family, 
 the community and artist friends sharing their creativity. Luis explores 
 balance and what that means to us surrounded by the injustices of our 
 consumerism drowned society. \n\nOwen Brand Designs has collaborated with 
 Luis providing rare precious stones and fossils. In addition to the inset 
 stones, Owen has furthered the life of Luis’ skateboards by creating 
 jewelry from the carved scraps of wood. \n\nThe opening reception on August 
 9th will host a raffle for Mission Graduates. Mission Graduates is a 
 nonprofit organization that increases the number of K-12 students in San 
 Francisco’s Mission District who are prepared for and complete a college 
 education. For 40 years, Mission Graduates (MG) has been an important 
 institution in San Francisco’s Mission District–an ethnically mixed, 
 low-income community, where per capita income is just $13,951. The raffle 
 will feature a original carved skateboard and prints by Luis Marroquin, and 
 a gift certificate for tattoo time with Chamuco.\n\nWe are hella happy to 
 have the sounds of East Bay’s Astralogik providing live music on August 
 9th. Astralogik is singer-songwriter, Charito Soriano, and Guitarist, 
 Rowenalyn “FunkCH3N” Conlu. From Astralogik.com Both Filipino-American 
 women time-traveled into the present to share their unique musical journey 
 filled with acoustical soul-liberating boundaries that are created in our 
 life’s path of constant balance. Their live performance & music creates a 
 timeless & entertaining journey — playing beautiful harmonic melodies 
 about life, love, hip-hop, reggae, soul and everything in-between.\n\nDJ 
 Ollin from LIBRE CLTRA is back again and will be providing music to dance; 
 cumbia and mashups! From librecltra.com LIBRE CLTRA emerged as a way of 
 transmitting culture and conscience in the form of fashion. Our designs are 
 inspired by the people of America; from Mapuches in Chile to Huicholes in 
 the mountains of northern Mexico. Our goal is to promote and eventually 
 collaborate with these communities since they are our roots. Our products 
 are completely handmade with high quality materials in Oakland, California, 
 always keeping in mind mother earth. \n\nDetailed information + pricing
