JCB Gallery presents KASIBULAN Kontra Korapsyon, an exhibition responding to the urgent calls and struggles of the present, grounded in history. Founded in 1987, KASIBULAN is the first women’s artist collective in the Philippines. The group emerged in the aftermath of authoritarian rule, at a moment when the promise of national renewal quickly gave way to persistent inequality and unresolved social conditions.
Across decades, KASIBULAN has consistently engaged these realities—challenging entrenched systems of power and forging a path for Filipino women artists whose practices remain deeply rooted in a historically patriarchal Philippine society.
Bringing together works by both founding and new members, the exhibition renews calls for justice and accountability within local contexts, while entering into dialogue with broader global conversations in contemporary art.
The exhibition opens on May 14, 2 PM, at JCB Gallery, Philippine Women’s University, with an artist talk and curatorial walkthrough. The event is free and open to the public.
