Abstract
Etniko Bandido is an autonomous community resource center and infoshop in Manila where locals and visitors gather to discuss ideas and issues and organize cultural events. During the COVID-19 lockdowns, Etniko’s network of local musicians, artists, and activists repurposed the infoshop’s physical space and its political mission of mutual aid to address the needs of the community by, for instance, distributing food and medical supplies. In this context, the local response to the pandemic can be more widely contextualized in the Philippines’ “culture of disaster” and indigenous articulations of mutual aid, which provided an alternative to the dominant consumer society.
