State University in May 2006 with Bachelor degrees in Studio Art and
Art History. While studying at Humboldt, she was exposed to the
struggles of Filipinos in the Philippines and in America by attending a
Conference in Seattle organized by various Filipino organizations. Her
subject matter concerns grew out of the University's lack of diversity
and ignorance surrounding Filipino and Filipino American struggles. Currently
she is BABAE’s Finance Coordinator and is trying to create work that is
meaningful and further advances the struggles of the Filipino people.Elaine Villasper
Elaine Villasper recently discovered the joys of painting, and hopes to create empowering representations of Philippine history and culture. Currently organizing with Babae San Francisco, Elaine believes that engaging in social and cultural transformation can take up many forms--from holding mass protests, waging a revolution, singing a song, or painting an image. As a painter, she holds that art is a means to inte
ract with the current culture. Whether it is to criticize, empower, educate, propagate, or agitate, art is a tool and a medium that she hopes our people will use to transform the world.
