Tausug “ukkil” artist Rameer Tawasil, who died on June 6, left behind a body of work that greatly contributed to the development of indigenous arts and heritage in the country. | alipalajulieINQ /PDI
In Spanish, Rameeta means twig, spray, sprig, branch, bough, limb, leaf, and line, which suits him as a painter using ukkil as foundation of his art.
The album was called “Not just Julfekar” because the collection also included song lyrics written by Jolo, while its cover featured paintings rendered by Tawasil.Born in Sulu in 1969, Tawasil was 5 when his family frantically fled the capital town of Jolo in February 1974 amid clashes and bombardments.
In 2003, he held his first solo exhibit entitled “Tawasil” at Garden Orchid Hotel in Zamboanga City. It was also the year that Tawasil garnered the Zamboanga Hermosa Recognition Award for Culture and the Arts and the national traveling exhibition grant from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts , Tawasil’s wife Rohanna said.
Paz commissioned Tawasil to do the Peace Monumental Sculpture that was unveiled in Zamboanga City on Nov. 29, 2010. Then presidential peace adviser Teresita Deles said the monument was “a revelation of the Mindanao peoples’ determined refusal to surrender their fate to the forces of conflict and violence.”
In 2018, Tawasil helped the children of war-torn Marawi City cope with their trauma by leading a healing and therapy workshop through art.
