Every artist has a place, says Bacolod artist Kyle Jocson of the Association of Negros Artists (ANA). For Women’s Month 2020, ANA has teamed up with the Photographers of Negros Group (PNG) for a joint Boudoir Art and Photo Exhibit. It will run until March 27 at the Maya Art Space of Tippy’s Bistro.

Joint Boudoir Art and Photo Exhibit
February and March also mean two consecutive celebrations. These are the Arts Month and subsequently, the Women’s Month. So the two groups decided to join forces and celebrate these two events in a side-by-side exhibition.

Revealing Shoot
For the Boudoir Art and Photo Exhibit, two young ladies modeled for a revealing photo shoot with the PNG members. Each photographer picked a photo that a corresponding Bacolod artist will render by hand. The artists were allowed to pick their medium.

The shots came in color and black and white prints. Meanwhile, the artists had free reign on their interpretation of the photos, while all the while keeping power and femininity in mind.
The finished prints and the artworks were then presented side by side at the gallery.

Love Your Body
In all their works, the artists would like to tell women that they are beautiful, no matter their color or form. They encourage the female of the species to embrace their strengths as well as their imperfections.

“No matter how busy we are, we should take care of our face, bodies, and spirit,” says photographer Kristine Tirante.
Many women nowadays work from home and more often than not, they forget to take care of their bodies. The exhibit would also like to raise awareness about self-love and care.

HIV Awareness
Meanwhile, part of the exhibit was a talk on HIV awareness. It was given by Roberto Figuracion Jr. of the Family Planning Organization of the Philippines-Iloilo Chapter.
