The Art Of Women’s Struggles Is the Art of Building Community and Making Alternative History

The essays in this collection explore how women and feminists in the Philippines use creative practices against the systems of power they are fighting against, particularly since the beginning of the pandemic. Primarily feminist activists, the women who have contributed to this book come from various arenas of cultural work-visual art, writing and publishing, music, and journalism. Their writing here focuses on the marginalized women they work with, who have been continuously resisting and working against long-standing structures of violence that have only been exacerbated by the state's actions during the pandemic.

Reclaiming of Space (Zine)

A project initiated by Espasyo Kolektib in collaboration with Load na Dito.

Bahay Pangarap was the name of the condominium-type residential buildings along the coastal road that was developed as part of the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) land reclamation project. Initially located on the coastline extending from Parañaque to Cavite, sineguelas and bamboo trees exist in the area to sustain people with options aside from their primary means of living that were anchored on the natural resources of the sea: crabs, mussels, clams, fishes, and its beauty described as nearing the characteristics of Boracay Island. In the late 1980s, its conversion started as a housing program for the urban poor but was eventually entrusted to private institutions as influenced by the rising costs, prime value, and location of the property that redesigned its structure for the middle-income market.

The exhibition revolves around the theory of Placemaking. With inspiration from concept of “almost curating” on Load na Dito’s Kabit at Sabit project, the exploration of the capacity of space (open and public) in holding different methods of production, forms, formats of presentation, and the process of organizing aims to solve specific technical matters regarding the use of space and potentials of curating in local art ecologies. Acknowledging people’s interests, goals, and activities grants social and personal connections, new experiences, and opportunities that transform a space into a place through reformed purposes.
