- Summary, etc - Abstract: The social realist movement in the Philippines reached its height in the period leading up to the 1986 popular uprising which overthrew autocratic president Ferdinand Marcos. Over in the Visayas, less than an hour away by plane from the Manila, the feudal social conditions of Negros Occidental were fomenting their own version of abuse, hunger, and displacement. For over a century, vast tracts of the island had been fenced off as sugarcane haciendas (plantations) in the possession of a few hacenderos (plantation owners). The EDSA Revolution offered the promise of freedom and a new democracy, which artists in Negros took to heart. From this potent mix of political euphoria, economic devastation and social inequality rose the socially committed visual arts organization, Black Artists in Asia (BAA) in 1986. Although the group has been in existence for a quarter of a century, there is a notable lack of documented information on its activities and projects. Hence, this thesis proposed to research and record the 25-year history of the Black Artists in Asia and to evaluate its successes and failures vis-à-vis its stated goals, as well as locate and weigh its significance in contemporary Philippine art.
