CALLING ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS, GRAPHIC/VISUAL ARTISTS & FILIPINOS HERE AND ABROAD
As the old saying goes, ‘Promises are made to be broken.’
With almost 100 days after Benigno ‘Simeon’ Aquino III had been inaugurated as the 15th president of the Republic of the Philippines, nothing significant and meaningful changes were being put forward by this administration who promised to lead the country in his so-called ‘tuwid na daan’ (upright road).
Just few days after PNoy sworn into power last July 1, 2010, various issues that directly affect the Filipino people popped-up. Landlessness, joblessness, extra-judicial killings, enforced disappearance`s, high prices, budget cuts, incompetence of law enforcement, intensification of hunger and poverty and many more issues worsen that actually disproved his claims for genuine social transformation.
To date also, prosecution of PNoy’s predecessor, Pampanga’s Second District Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, remains elusive for his administration is doing nothing to make Arroyo and her cohorts culpable of their gross human rights violations and corruption cases.
With this, Bagong Alyansang Makabayan-National Capital Region (BAYAN-NCR) and the Imprison Arroyo Movement (IAM) call on the attention of photographers, graphic/visual/performance artists here and abroad to submit photos and/or artworks, illustrations and sketches depicting real images of PNoy’s broken promises in the guise of his ‘daang matuwid’ slogan.
Submitted images will be gathered in a photo compilation which will be dubbed as ‘IMAHE ng NASYON: Mga Larawan at Dibuho sa Tuwid na Daan.’ We aim to gather as many works as possible that we will be launching in the coming days and will be staged on grass-root level exhibits and galleries on various communities, schools and workplaces.
All images that will be submitted will also be published over the internet and will be included in a photo mosaic of PNoy that will be unveiled during the peasant mobilization on October 21, 2010. Uploaded entries must have the name of the artist/photographer and a brief caption that will discuss your pieces. You may send them through the following:
E-mail Address: bayan_ncr@yahoo.com | iam.pilipinas@gmail.com
Facebook Account: Bayan-NCR Chapter | IAM Pilipinas | Kathy Yamzon
Together, let us not allow PNoy’s promises during the election period to remain broken and empty. ###
