Malugod namin kayong iniimbitahan sa ika-5 talakayan sa Guest Lecture Series na inihanda ng mga estudyante ng Art Studies 143: Contemporary Art, isang kurso mula sa Department of Art Studies – University of the Philippines Diliman. 

Ang panauhing tagapagsalita sa sesyong ito ay si Bb. Faye Cura, manunulat, editor at convener ng GANTALA PRESS. Ang Gantala Press na itinatag noong 2015 sa Metro Manila ay isang independent, non-profit, at volunteer-run na Filipina feminist press at literary collective na nakasentro sa mga kwento ng kababaihan at ang kanilang partisipasyon at pakikipaglaban. Naglilimbag ang Gantala Press ng iba’t ibang publikasyon at nagdaraos ng press fairs, diskusyon, at workshops para sa kanilang mga adbokasiya. Naniniwala ang Gantala Press sa potensiyal ng Feminist Press bilang aksyong politikal kasama ang mga kababaihang artista at mga samahang kababaihan sa bansa.

Speaker: Varsha Nair

Join us on May 20, 2021, 2:30 pm, for the fourth installment of our Guest Lecture Series on “Art and Artmaking in the Time of Covid – 19.” The series is organized by students of Art Studies 143 (Contemporary Art), a course offered by the Department of Art Studies, University of the Philippines Diliman. 

The May 20 session focuses on WOMANIFESTO, an international art exchange that began in 1995, when a group of women artists, writers and activists from Thailand organized a feminist art exhibition titled Tradisexion at Concrete House, an alternative art space in Bangkok. In 1997, Womanifesto evolved into a biennial, and has since brought together exhibitions, workshops, artist-in-residence programs, and other forms of exchanges and conversations aiming to link art practitioners and communities all over the world. In the context of separation and lockdowns, Womanifesto is meeting in virtual spaces through  ‘Womanifesto 2020: Gatherings,’ which opened up conversations with various groups joining in from Udon Thani (Thailand), Baroda (India), Berlin (Germany), Sydney (Australia), Basel (Switzerland), and London (UK). Each location invited friends and colleagues and followed their own theme in relation to their immediate situation and consideration of what a gathering could be in current times. What happened locally was linked internationally viawww.blog.womanifesto.com.

We will learn more about Womanifesto in this session through co-organizer, VARSHA NAIR, whose  art practice encompasses various approaches and genres, including bringing people and things together. She has also exhibited widely in Bangkok, New Delhi, Basel, Glasgow, Perth, and Melbourne,  London, Berlin, Turin, and New York, among others.  Nair has published her writings in various art journals such as n paradoxa, Southeast of Now: Directions in Contemporary and Modern Art in Asia, Art AsiaPacific, and Ctrl+P Journal of Contemporary Art of which she is Editorial Board member. She is currently a guest lecturer at Hochschule Lucerne, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts.
