As part of its celebration of Women’s Month, the University of the Philippines Center for Women’s and Gender Studies (UPCWGS) organized Babae, Babae…Bakit Ka Gumagawa?: Artists Talk on Their Artistic Practice and Projects on 18 March 2026 at the UPCWGS Conference Room. The event is the 11th session of the discussion series, “Conversations Through Art (CTA): Tapping Various Creative Modalities for Intervention, Growth, and Transformation.”
The talk/exhibit, which featured women artists from different parts of Asia, was filled with meaningful conversations, art, and shared stories – bringing together voices across spaces and reflecting on why we continue to create despite challenges.
CTA is an initiative by artists, advocacy builders, social workers, and those in the helping professions to collectively promote arts for social change. Envisioned as a series wherein various creative modalities are highlighted in each session, the invited resource speakers will be individuals from different parts of the world who are making contributions to the establishment of the expressive arts practice or use specific creative modalities for personal-professional, community, and sectoral development.
