CASAS supports the personal appeal from the Journal of Peasant Studies’ editors to help with fundraising efforts for Filipino artivist Boy Dominguez, whose art has also been featured on our website (picture above).
Boy Dominguez (BoyD) has been creating the cover art for JPS since the special issue on biofuels in 2009. Since then, his paintings have shaped the journal’s visual identity and served as a constant reminder of the political struggles that animate and motivate activist scholarship. BoyD’s work has shaped not just JPS, but the intellectual community of Critical Agrarian Studies more broadly. For decades, he has inspired scholar-activists across our networks through paintings that distill complex political economy into urgent visual testimony. For additional context on BoyD’s life and work, you can read the profile and interview published in JPS in 2022.
BoyD now urgently needs our help. He has been diagnosed with a rare and progressive neurodegenerative disease that has made painting impossible. He and his family are struggling to afford the medical care and 24/7 support his condition now requires. We invite you to donate to the crowdfunding campaign organized by the Philippine Knowledge and Activity Center Netherlands and BoyD’s family.
