Reloaded is a group exhibition exploring the Filipino contemporary art landscape and is accompanied by a major hard copy publication WASAK! Filipino Art Today published by European publisher DISTANZ Verlag. The show is a continuation of the well‐received group exhibition presented in Berlin in 2015, and will travel to London in 2017. Exhibiting artists include: Zean Cabangis, Buen Calubayan, Louie Cordero, Jigger Cruz, Marina Cruz, Kawayan De Guia, Alfredo Esquillo, Ian Fabro, Nona Garcia, Robert Langenegger, Jason Montinola, Pow Martinez, Manuel Ocampo, Norberto Roldan, Kaloy Sanchez, Rodel Tapaya and Ronald Ventura. The underlying motivation of WASAK! and its accompanying publication is to shed light on the fascinating contemporary art currently being produced in the Philippines. By offering an overview of Filipino contemporary art, WASAK! aims to provide an emblematic contextual compendium. Uniting a selection of leading protagonists across generational lines, genres, and media, the exhibition presents snapshots of current artistic practices from the Philippines. The 17 participating artists have witnessed the social and political upheaval of Philippines’ recent history. Most of these artists spent their maturation grappling with local events that have transpired such as: natural disasters like earthquakes and floods; political unrest in the form of coup d’état and calls to presidential impeachments; political ineptitude in the form of corruption and briberies; and longstanding bouts with poverty and urban overpopulation.

This explanatory text documents the process involved in writing and performing my epic, in which I recast a traditional myth about the active volcano Mt. Mayon in my region Bikol in the Philippines. Through a discussion on feminism, language and the epic genre, this story of my creative process also explains the thesis of my epic poem: re-inventing the Self beyond rigidified and oppressive definitions of identity. This process of becoming is examined through three principal sections: naming, unnaming and namelessness.

  • Women Warriors Empowered Women 1N Southeast Asian Literature
    Women Warriors Empowered Women 1n Southeast Asian Literature Thelma Kintanar The figure of the woman warrior serves as a unifying image for the vari­ ous representations of the empowered woman in the literatures of South­ east Asia. The works discussed- poetry from the Philippines and Thai­ land, fiction from Vietnam and Indonesia - present narratives of women in the struggle to free themselves from oppressive cultural traditions and cope with the disruptive events in the history of their countries. From the dynamics of this struggle, they emerge enabled, gaining control of their lives and participating actively in the process of social and histori­ cal change. HE TRADITION OF THE WOMAN WARRIOR ANIMATES THE AN­ cient history and literature of many Asian countries. The story of Fa Mulan, the Chinese village girl who disguised T herself as a soldier and achieved fame and honor, has recently been popularized by the Disney empire in one of its few projects which has earned the praise of critics and feminists alike. The story comes from a ballad in the period of the Northern dynasties in China and tells how Mulan, to save her aged father from the dangers of war, joins the army in his stead. She endures rigorous training and countless difficulties but so distinguishes herself that she becomes a general in the emperor's army and is offered a high civilian post after the war. But although she has succeeded in empowering herself, Mulan is not interested in the exercise of power: she only wants to go back to her village and rejoin her family.
