The Door (Gwangju, Korea)

Art creates a door beyond prison wall as a healing space for the unseen women and the unspoken stories.

Art transcends pain and trauma through meaning making where women show strength in resilience. Gwangju as the “city of justice”, celebrates the freedom in prison of women deprived of liberty. This art exhibition opens a creative dialogue to raise their voices through their stories, needlework, embroidery and weaving. The voices of women travelled through their arts to the global stage in art
exhibitions and conferences in New York City, San Francisco, Montreal, Kyoto, Busan, and Philippines as a result of years of co-love since 2014 through community healing, and meaning making process. What started as passion project, evolved into a restorative social enterprise as economic support to family of women who served as breadwinners.

Due to COVID-19, all of us were on lockdown, but the women in prison where in triple lockdown which means the women has no chance to meet family and all programs stopped. It was the most challenging and darkest times which
opened the door to let the light in from the crack of darkness. Rosa Zerrudo, artist collaborator, found a new way, as she felt connected to the world through zoom despite the quarantine. She extended her personal experience with zoom workshops similar to opening a prison door.

For the first time, the jail allowed zoom workshops to continue the psychosocial support for women in prison. Around Thirty international artists from USA, Canada, Spain, South Korea, Indonesia, Germany, Papua New Guinea, Australia and Philippines collaborated in solidarity with the struggles of women through zoom workshops during the pandemic at least a hundred times. As an artist response to crisis, Rosa Zerrudo opens the door in democratizing art through socially engaged art process.

 

EXHIBITION PIECES

Title: In my sleep (Shadow installation)
Materials: bojagi, cardboard, light, hand dyed and painted batik inspired design by Indays

The daily struggle of Inday culminates in silent pain, sleeping in cardboard box while a pillow as only source of comfort becomes a powerful intimate object, a significant witness to all Inday’s dreams, nightmares, stories and tears.

In my sleep (shadow installation)
Jonaseth B. A.

at the end of dusk on the verge of night fall
everybody in panic gather in the roll call
desperately looking for a bed of carton
to squeeze in oneself wherever to sleep on
as bodies lay on cold concrete floor
backbreaking pain is a normal unspoken sore
as if a matrix of body positions in all directions
twist and turns all crooked with no order or caution
eyes stay awake not a blink for endless hours
thinking about the plight of women behind bars
what fate may come in this situation
is there hope in this world that is the question
looking at everybody’s condition
how appalling, you feel sorry for such misfortune
similar to the slaves uncared for and forsaken
waiting for decent unwavering attention not taken
like a herd of calm with no objection
unperturbed waiting for dispensation
families in distress endure to wait and visit
bringing content and delight in the food basket
so before everybody doze off to sleep
in prayers they trust inside their hearts they keep
with faith in God they are in total surrender
in the hope of at least undisturbed slumber
황혼의 끝자락의 밤 가을에
공황 상태에 빠진 모두가 롤 콜에 모여
필사적으로 판지 침대를 찾고

잠잘 곳에서 몸을 움츠리다

시체가 차가운 콘크리트 바닥에 누워 있을 때
요통은 정상적인 무언의 통증입니다
마치 모든 방향에서 신체 위치의 행렬처럼
순서나 주의 없이 모두 비뚤어지게 비틀고 돌린다.

눈은 끝없는 시간 동안 깜박이지 않고 깨어 있습니다.
감옥에 갇힌 여성들의 곤경에 대해 생각하다
이 상황에서 어떤 운명이 올지
이 세상에 희망이 있는가 그것이 문제인가

모두의 상태를 보고
얼마나 끔찍합니까, 당신은 그런 불행에 대해 유감스럽게 생각합니다
돌보지 않고 버림받은 노예와 비슷하다.
적절한 확고한 관심을 기다리지 않고

아무런 이의가 없는 고요한 무리처럼
경륜의 시대를 기다리며 동요하지 않고
곤경에 처한 가족들은 인내하며 기다리고 방문한다
음식 바구니에 내용과 기쁨을 가져다

그래서 모두가 잠들기 전에
기도에서 그들은 마음 속으로 신뢰합니다.
신에 대한 믿음으로 그들은 완전히 항복한다
최소한 방해받지 않는 잠을 희망하면서

Title: Arirang mountain of pain
Materials: blue mosquito net, cardboard, light, pillow with hand dyed, hand painted batik inspired design by Indays

The mountain is symbolic of collective healing overcoming a difficult hill in life like Mudeungsan changing in season, life is ready to change.

무등산은 계절이 바뀌고 삶이 바뀔 준비가 되어 있는 것처럼 인생의 어려운 언덕을 극복하는 집단 치유의 상징입니다.

Title: A mug of coffee four bodies
Materials: plastic buckets for chairs, mugs, recycled banners and bojagi

One story of Inday touched my heart with their daily morning ritual where four women share one mug of coffee.

 

Title: Body of Tears (lawas sang luha)

Materials: hand embroidered fabric by Indays, recycled banners and bojagi

Everytime Inday tells her story, tears overflow as if healing past wounds, cleansing body trauma inside the body and mending broken hearts. The tears allows the light to come inside her darkest hours.

 

Title: Winged Krus + Altar

Materials: hand embroidered fabric by Indays, recycled banners and bojagi
Altar ni Inday or “Altar of Inday” is a juxtaposition of several elements such as the macramé altar installation, beautifully handmade sculpted 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 as it transcends the pain while
tears overflow like rain.

날개 달린 크루스 + 제단 + 눈물의 몸 (lawas sang luha)
Altar ni Inday 또는 의 제단 은 마크라메 제단 설치, 아름답게 수제 조각된 질,
회복력의 여성인 여성 을 닮은 막대 뒤에서 여성 예술가들이 만든 인데이 인형과 같은 여러 요소의 병치입니다. 제단은 어머니로 상처를 입었거나(nanay), 자매로 고통을 받았으며(먹음), 할머니로 무시당했거나(lola), 이모로 박탈당했으며(tita), 친구로 고립되어(kaibigan) 각각의 신성한 여성에게 절합니다. 눈물이 비처럼 넘치고 고통을 초월한 여성의 몸은 존경과 존경을 받는다.

Title: Duyan sang mga Damgo ni Inday
Materials: hand embroidered fabric by Indays, recycled banner and bojagi

Recycled hammock of dreams, or “duyan” as the powerful symbol of the mother-child connection 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.

재활용된 꿈의 해먹 또는 모자 관계의 강력한 상징인두얀은 철장 뒤의 어머니라는 씁쓸한 시련의 본질을 포착합니다. 감옥에 갇힌 많은 여성들이 어머니이며, 한 여성의 이야기는 어머니의 본질과 투쟁을 요약합니다.

Title: Inday Dolls / Inday Hablon Dolls

Inday Dolls are stories of objects, visual narratives of women artists mothering
behind bars.  The women express symbolic representation of their disasters, survival, and painful life stories creating new colors in their darkest times.  The Inday dolls are self- portraits portraying experiences and emotional psyche of women PDL through colors, lines, textures and symbolisms embroidered in each doll as visual narrative of prison psychology and experience of freedom in prison.

내러티브입니다. 여성들은 그들의 재난, 생존, 그리고 가장 암울한 시기에 새로운 색깔을
만들어내는 고통스러운 삶의 이야기를 상징적으로 표현합니다. Inday 인형은 감옥
심리학의 시각적 내러티브와 감옥에서의 자유 경험으로 각 인형에 수 놓은 색상, 선, 질감
및 상징을 통해 여성 PDL의 경험과 정서적 심리를 묘사한 자화상입니다.
