Batok as a Cultural Practice is a 24-page zine by Kristian Kabuay that sits in the uncomfortable but necessary space between culture, identity, and responsibility.

If you’re looking for patterns or “how-to,” this isn’t it. What you get instead is something more honest. A Filipino American trying to reconnect with Batok and realizing the real work isn’t technical, it’s personal.

This is about distance. About coming back. About what it actually means to take part in something that almost disappeared.

Short, direct, and meant to be sat with.

If you’ve ever felt that pull toward your roots but didn’t know where to start, this is a good place.
