Sumilip sa Hardin ni Maria
Zeelah Aquilizan
November 10 to December 22, 2024
Outside the socio-cultural conventions of womanhood influenced by the colonial figures of the submissive (such as Maria Clara) and the promiscuous (such as Marilyn Monroe), Zeelah Aquilizan’s project is one of deliverance from these stereotypes, as she tries to mend and make sense of femininity in its contemporary sensibility. An attempt at articulating a slice of the feminine, Sumilip sa Hardin ni Maria empowers both the individual and her community.
