The new initiative wants to help Filipino creatives who are taking a hit from the coronavirus.
Gonzales, who formed his eponymous global consultancy in 2019, is launching Mercado Vicente, an online index of multidisciplinary creatives, including illustrators, fashion designers, tattoo artists, photographers, filmmakers, graphic designers, glass artists, painters and architects. Through Mercado Vicente, Gonzales hopes to combat the current anti-Asian sentiment by highlighting the works of Filipino creatives, many of whom are now unemployed due to COVID-19.
