Feminist Art Idea: Women’s Anger Room

In my post If I Were to Create Feminist ArtI talked about making a video on street harassers and a performance art piece involving a full-body chastity armor. Now I have another idea, and I call it the Women’s Anger Room. Women’s anger is often dismissed or seen as a reason to castigate her or label her as “crazy”. I would like to create a space that will allow women to express their anger and compel men to listen.

My Kiddie Art

When I was a kid, my mom enrolled me in an art class and she said that after one class, I told her, “Mama, I’m so happy.” I remember that class. We were taught to mix paint and detergent, then blow bubbles in the mix, and finally press paper on the paint-infused bubbles. I still have those bubbles preserved on the page as yellow and red forms, and I love it.

My Roots in Art

1. Singing lessons

I took up singing lessons in U.P. Diliman’s College of Music when I was in high school or was it grade school? I don’t remember anymore. My recital piece was “Climb Every Mountain” from The Sound of Music.

I enrolled in Center for Pop twice. Once when I was in grade school or high school and again after I graduated from college. I did not join the recital during my first try because it required a fee and my mom found it too expensive.

For my second time, I joined the recitals and sang Lady Gaga’s “Telephone”, Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus Take the Wheel” (group number), Lady Gaga’s “Speechless”, Kelly Clarkson’s “Behind these Hazel Eyes”.

My first bus ticket art exhibit!

(My bus ticket artworks at iChill Theater Cafe)

If you’ve read my previous blog posts (My First Bus Tickets ArtworkHow to Design Your Tablet Case with Bus TicketsHow To Use Bus Tickets to Design Your NotebooksNew Bus Ticket Tablet CoverBus Ticket Tote Bag), you’ll know that I am obsessed with bus tickets. I also explain in those posts how the whole bus ticket thing got started and why I love them.

My first bus ticket artwork has been gathering dust for two years or so (exact date of when I created it is unknown because when I reposted the blog post about it, the date changed, but there are comments on the post that date back to 2013). Then, on Nov. 21, my friends and I opened our first group exhibit, and because of it, I finally got the chance to show my bus tickets to the world! So awesome!

So here we our with our press release (omg!) and some photos of the exhibit taken by Lester Babiera! It feels sooooo cool!
