ABSTRACT

Art’s power to enable a reimagination of the present is behind the possibly utopic title of this Learning Unit. By inviting you to think about what could happen when visual relations are reshaped within a picture frame, we ask you to layer on a contrapuntal voice to a disempowered character now enplaced in a position to talk back.  The visual peg for the exercise is Filipino painter Juan Luna’s oil painting,

España y Filipinas

(c. 1888).
