won’t you celebrate with me
By Lucille Clifton

won’t you celebrate with me
what i have shaped into
a kind of life? i had no model.
born in babylon
both nonwhite and woman
what did i see to be except myself?
i made it up
here on this bridge between
starshine and clay,
my one hand holding tight
my other hand; come celebrate
with me that everyday
something has tried to kill me
and has failed.

 

Between Starshine and Clay II features the diverse works of Antonia Baytion, Marionne Contreras, Sarah Geneblazo, Titat Ledesma, Pabsie Martus, Isha Naguiat, Georgina Pomarejos, Eunice Sanchez, Maricar Tolentino, and Ciane Xavier.

Inspired by Lucille Clifton’s poignant poem, each piece reflects the intricate balance between vulnerability and resilience, mundane existence, and transcendent aspirations. As a follow-up to last year’s Women’s Show, these select female artists showcase the complexity and breadth of Filipina artistry.

From Antonia Baytion’s introspective musings to Maricar Tolentino’s subversive fiber art, immerse yourself in a tapestry of emotions, memories, and societal reflections. Join us in celebrating the enduring spirit of creativity and exploration, bridging the realms of starshine and clay with each captivating creation.
