*Feminist Art Somehow, Somewhere: */*trauma, interrupted*/*
* 

Somewhere, somehow, Do-It-Yourself initiatives are happening away - at 
times hovering within, but at other times, beyond -- the radar of local 
(Manila) and global (Global Feminisms and Wack!) epicenters (it is 
interesting to note for instance, that there are no Asians in Wack! and 
no Filipinas in Global Feminisms, either as theorists and artists). I 
propose to report on one such initiative that was launched in Manila in 
2007 -- /trauma, interrupted exhibition (www.trauma-interrupted.org)/ -- 
an ongoing international art project featuring 18 artists from six 
countries, who explored the links between art, trauma and healing, an 
underdeveloped field of art-historical feminist investigation. My 
presentation will cover the curatorial vision, its lineage, 
art-historical and theoretical routes, the artists and their works, 
process and issues related to organizing international events in the 
periphery, as well as theoretical and methodological problems and 
possible directions related to the subject of trauma in/as art.
