Voice of Art Art had existed in our world for so long that we had no idea when it began. Inside caves where people used to dwell in the past, we can see some of the earliest arts. Today, there is a wide range of options, or rather, platforms, for presenting your artwork. Walls, paper, and even the internet are examples of this.

Art is a kind of expression that allows you to convey your feelings or imagination. We Filipinos have contributed to the arts in our own way. Filipino culture is an excellent example of how art can be used to communicate. Even before we meet the colonist, we Filipinos already have a lot of means where we use art to its fullest. Tattoos, for example, are something we can see in most of our ancestors. These tattoos hold a lot of significance for them. These tattoos are not only gorgeous, but they also represent many things, like strength and bravery. Our country also managed to produce many great artists like Juan Luna and Lualhati Bautista, who used their art to become a voice to those who need to be heard; Spoliarium, Dekada 70, ABNKKBSNPLAko?! are just some of the examples of this. Of course, we can't ignore the fact that folk performing arts and folk literature are still being utilized to educate and enlighten our youth about the world and the truths surrounding it. The Masskara Festival in Bacolod, for example, appears to be a lot of fun at first, but if you learn why the festival was established, it may be both surprising and saddening. Masskara Festival is one of the best examples that I know, where art was really used to express the feelings of those people who are performing it.

These kinds of work where Filipino artists use their skills and knowledge to become a voice for those who need to be heard are our most significant contributions to art.

Filipino Artists in Politics Filipina artists help to educate and expose our history and identity to the general public. These artists used their work to influence people's perspectives, instill values, and transmit experiences that transcended space and time.

Jose Rizal and Lualhati Bautista are among the most well-known artists in our country. Jose Rizal, our national hero, fought for our country's independence in a quiet yet effective manner. Rather than using force or aggression, he used his books, essays, and articles to show his love for the Philippines. My favorite Rizal work is a poem he wrote just before his death. Mi Ultimo Adios is a poem written by Rizal that demonstrates his passionate nationalism and enduring love for his homeland. It's a poem about how lovely the Philippines are, and how Rizal wants us to learn from our history and understand the reality of how the rest of the world sees us. Dekada 70, on the other hand, is a literary work by our National Artist Lualhati Bautista that illustrates the difficulties of a regular Filipino family attempting to endure dictator Ferdinand Marcos' Martial Law rule. This work of literature is important because it teaches us a lot about poverty, how cruel a government can be, and how they can take away everything we deserve; even our basic human rights. These Creative thinkers and makers provide their communities with joy, interaction, and inspiration, but they also give thoughtful critique to our political, economic, and social systems — pushing communities to engage thoughtfully and make steps toward social progress....
