Alma Quinto / Artist, Educater / Quezon City, Philippines
アルマ・キント / アーティスト・教育 / ケソンシティ、フィリピン

in English

Born in 1961 in Pangasinan, Philippines. Lives and works in Quezon City.
In 2003, Quinto embarked on a project in collaboration with young girls who had suffered sexual abuse, titled "Soft Dreams and Bed Stories" (Havana Biennale, Cuba) featuring toy-like soft sculptures and mattresses. Quinto's exhibit at Yokohama 2005 will also feature soft sculpture as part of this ongoing series. By incorporating symbols of family life into the exhibition, Quinto conveys her conviction that everyday life is inextricably linked to creative and artistic expression - a characteristic of Philippine culture - and that it is when these are fused that social and political issues can be addressed and gender policies promoted. Apart from her creative activities, Quinto, through her position heading the women's art organization KASIBULAN, organizes activities to promote the improvement of the status of women in art.
