Posted on by Leave a comment

Lampas isang buwan na mula ng ideklara Enhanced Community Quarrantine. Sa gitna nito, pinanghawakan ng kabataan ang kanilang papel na maging boses ng lipunan para magtambol ng mga isyung panlipunan sa gitna ng lockdown. Sa pangunguna ng kabataang mulat ay naikalampag online hanggang magbunga ng resulta ang mga panawagang #MassTestingNow, #FundsForOurFrontliners, dagdag kompensasyon sa mga volunteer health workers, pag-atras ng kaso laban kay Vico Sotto, pagpigil sa imbestigasyon ng NBI kay VP Leni. Patuloy din ang panawagan para sa #AyudaParaSaMasa at walang pahingang pag-gampan ng kabataan sa “pagrereklamo” laban sa mga hindi maka-mamamayan na hakbang ng pamahalaan at kabagalan ng tugon nito sa mga pangangailangan lalo ng maralita.

Sa ganang ito, ang Youth for Nationalism and Democracy, sa pangunguna ng organisasyong pangkultura nito na Teatrong Bayan ay maglulunsad ng isang “Online Art Series and Livestream” gamit ang mga social media accounts nito.

It believes that economic hegemony propels into a control over the culture that influences the mindsets or consciousness of an individual. Marginalized ideas/sectors identify its existence in relation to the prevailing bias of the existing rule (Gramchi, theory of Hegemony). For the elite critical culture that exposes, scrutinized the present hegemonic character of system is marginalized, labeled as unintelligible.

Culture is shaped by certain hegemonic control of the few/elite that influence even the most remote and isolated norms in society. Cultural hegemony comes in the control of media, communications,educational systems that spread out culture of submission to the prevailing norms. This control is manifested in economic control over and above the toiling majority by which the toiling majority adopts (Gramsci).

Therefore, this art should consistently not only expresses creativity but also project critical analysis in the crisis of the elite rule. Art should also be a movement that its primary mission is to a counter the existing and prevailing hegemonic system by means of giving alternatives, solutions.

Art should not only show the face of the crisis of elitist culture but also empowers the masses. Art should lead in the realization of collective power of the masses to create progressive artistic actions in changing their own situation.

The Margin is an experimental artistic projects combining literary, visual arts and integrate with consciousness. This consciousness that of par more advance, and critical from the mainstream culture and it seeks to project the impacts, manifestations and implications of a decadent culture that ruled the whole aspect of society.

As a movement, it tries to reach out the creativity of the youth in different aspect of their artistic expression. It instill in them the progressive content of art, which seeks the justice, freedom.

This ART MOVEMENT tried to develop critical analysis presented in Art.

Pabasa ng maralita, Abril 2012
ni Greg Bituin Jr.

(Nilikha ito upang gamitin sa Tatlong Tagpong Pasyon ng Maralita sa ika-3 ng Abril mula sa Espana, tuloy ng Bustillos, at magtatapos sa Mendiola sa maynila. Ang pabasang ito’y iniayon sa anyo ng pasyon, na may limang taludtod bawat saknong, at walong pantig bawat taludtod)

kami‘y mga maralita
ang buhay ay dusa’t luha
gutom lagi’t walang-wala
api na’t kinakawawa
bakit ganito ang dukha

kami ang mga obrero
kaybibigat ng trabaho
ngunit kaybaba ng sweldo
kapitalistang barbaro’y
ginigipit kaming todo

ang sinabi ng Pangulo:
“O, bayan, Kayo ang Boss ko”
ngunit anong ginawa mo
binubusabos ang tao
sa nagtataasang presyo

sadya ngang nakakatangis
tubo sa presyo ng langis
at el-pi-dyi’y labis-labis
lagi na bang magtitiis
itong bayang tinitikis

kami ngayo’y nananaghoy
nahan ka, Pangulong P-Noy
kay Grace Lee, ikaw ang playboy
habang masa’y tinataboy
at ginagawang palaboy

hihingi kami ng tulong
may patay sa ebakwasyon
pinabayaan na doon
walang pambiling kabaong
saan sila ibabaon

mga ina’y lumuluha
para sa anak na dukha
na may sakit na malubha
kami ba’y may mapapala
sa gubyernong kulang-pala

inutil ang pamunuan
sa ating pamahalaan
bingi, bulag at gahaman
halina’t ating palitan
silang kawatan sa bayan

wala tayong mapapala
sa lipunan ng kuhila
kaya gawin nating dukha
putulin ang tanikala
nitong pagdurusa’t luha

wakasan ang pandarahas
tahakin ang bagong landas
itatag ang bagong bukas
tungo sa bayang parehas
at isang lipunang patas
