WHAT IS KINAIYA COLLECTIVE?
Kinaiya Collective is an aspiring multi-media and production house dedicated to representing artists of all forms to create visual artwork that is indicative of their journey and life story. Kinaiya means "your inner character, the traits that make you who you are," in Visayan (a dialect of the Philippines). Kinaiya Collective invites creatives to showcase their kinaiya through the art of storytelling.
Kinaiya Collective is a space for like-minded individuals to express, exchange, and collaborate. A place to be vulnerable and free to express what most are afraid to express. We offer a team of creatives, resources, connections, and platforms to cultivate and bring your vision to life.
We are currently based in Seattle, WA and Los Angeles, CA.
