Krus + Altar Ni Inday

Altar ni Inday or “Altar of Inday” is a juxtaposition of several elements such as
the macramé altar installation, beaded hammock of dreams and a beautifully handmadesculpted vaginas, and inday dolls made by the women artists behind bars resembling the “woman” – woman of resilience. The altar bows to each sacred woman whether scarred as mother (nanay), suffered as a sister (ate), neglected as a grandmother (lola), deprived as an aunt (tita) and isolated as a friend (kaibigan). Women bodies are honored and respected.

Duyan sang mga Damgo ni Inday

Beaded hammock of dreams was woven by several women as they tried to weave their dreams together through their lines, colors and symbols.  The “duyan” as the powerful symbol of the mother singing to her child captures the essence of the bittersweet ordeal of “mothering behind bars.” Many of the women in prison are mothers, and the story of one woman encapsulates the essence and struggle of a mother.

Bato, Bala, Bata (Beaded Installation)

Bato, bala, bata (drugs, bullets and child) is the representation of the painful cycle of a intergenerational family member hooked on drugs or either involved in the drug trade. A bullet has already wounded a child before he or she is born.  A fragile circumstance is now a choice for the next generation to stop the cycle of trauma and pain. The child’s hands at rest have the choice to shoot love bullets from the flower weapon, making dreams come true.

Pak na pak si Inday

Wings of Freedom, the embroidery, brings out the bright colors of the
heart.   Each of the beadwork unleashes the intimate reflection of the hidden emotions of women. The coming out of the women in their beadwork is also the “freedom” of their expressions and the coming out of their dreams, hopes and self-worth.
