Guban Handuraw Visual Artists is a group from Pilar, Capiz, formed by local artists who use art to inspire empowerment, and community growth. The group’s name comes from the Hiligaynon words guban (group) and handuraw (imagination), symbolizing unity and creativity rooted in Pilar’s coastal identity. It was founded by artists Reggie Joey Benliro and Nelson Balberona after Typhoon Yolanda in 2013, as a way to help their community recover through art. Since then, the group has partnered with Capiz State University and the local government to hold exhibits, workshops, and outreach programs that promote culture, environmental care, and social responsibility. Their work highlights themes of resilience, identity, and faith, while empowering local artists and engaging youth in creative projects.
