Yaaasssss, biiissshhhh!!! #WeTheFuturePH by @dakila_ph x @pineapplelabph is extended until Nov. 15. ____________ Culture and the arts shape society and society shape culture and the arts. The intertwining relationship is crucial in addressing methods and directions in social transformation. The power of the creative form is its ability to shape the consciousness of its audience. It allows audiences to understand concepts and conditions on human struggles and enables them to convey their insights and convictions on the social cause. Art reflects these narratives of human condition. At the same time, it contributes to shaping the conditions of the very people whose stories it narrates. In a developing country like the Philippines, how do we fill up these narratives? How do we fight for our cultural identity? How do we demonstrate our creative resistance? And how do we say NOT TODAY? Do we step up and march as we declare We The Future Philippines? Or do we just continuously ask WTF Pilipinas? Our country’s current struggle can be addressed with creativity that strike at the core of these social issues: Creative vigilance against creeping authoritarianism; radical empathy to bridge widening social divides; and, disruptive kindness to break the culture of violence and intolerance. We have crucial roles to play in this battle. Our numbers, drive, and stake mean that our shared action can make or break our country’s future. We are putting forward a shared vision of the Philippines to become a reality. We join our creative expression and voices under the banner of #WeTheFuturePH. 🎨 #artexhibit #artgallery #DakilaPH #painting #design #visualarts #conceptualart #artph #manilaart #contemporaryart #artivism #art #artwork #asianart #asianartist #asia #southeastasia (at Pineapple Lab) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Mv22yHUbBoCQ3dBt1tS9adMUXS1Ut-yHeOfw0/?igshid=h3nliz20kzh
