Good Angry Art For One Tita Intellectual... is a zine by Vincent Bercasio composed of 48 “poems”, selected from a larger series compiled over the span of several years. These assemblages of collected words, images, and other graphic material were originally collaged and published as Instagram stories – the ephemeral nature of the medium allowing Vincent a low-risk opportunity to experiment and explore. Published as a printed object in a similar format as the tourist brochures that litter the streets of Waikiki, Good Angry Art... is an exercise in semiotics that speaks to our everyday agency at play in navigating an oversaturated world of images and messages.
Vincent Bercasio (b. 1998) is a filmmaker, cinematographer and artist from Pearl City, O‘ahu with Filipino ancestry. Vincent collaborates across the realms of contemporary art, fashion, film, and social justice. Recent projects include: Kai Hali‘a(2023), a contemporary dance film directed by Ang Axelrode; Growth(2024), an experimental short examining the relations between limu and industrial detritus; and Tiare Ribeaux's Pō‘ele Wai (2022). Vincent has contributed to many Tropic Editions publications, including Tropic Zine Issues 1 and 2, CAFE, Aupuni Space presents Nake‘u Awai, and the upcoming TUTUVI TUTUVI TUTUVI.
Tropic Editions (est. 2018) is a nonprofit publishing imprint based in Honolulu, Hawai‘i. Our mission is to promote the advancement and appreciation of artists’ books and to connect the arts and cultures of Hawai‘i to the tropical diaspora worldwide.
