Post five (5) acts of cultural appropriation

1.Object appropriation-occurs when
the possession of a tangible work of Art is
transferred from members of one culture to
members.

2. Content-occurs when an artist reuses an

idea first expressed in the work of an artist
from another culture.

3. Style-when an artist produces works

with stylistic elements which are common
with the works of another culture.

4. Motif appropriation-This form

is related to stylistic appropriation.
Sometimes artists are influenced by the
art of a culture other than their own without creating works in the same style.
Picasso, for example, was influenced by African carving, but his works are not in
an African style. Similarly, Ravel was influenced by the jazz of African-
Americans, but his compositions are not in a jazz idiom. Rather than appropriating
an entire style, such attists have appropriated only basic ideas or motifs.

5. Subject appropriation-Subject
appropriation occurs when someone from
one culture represents members or aspects of
another culture. Many of Joseph Conrad's
novels involve subject appropriation, since
Conrad frequently wrote about cultures other
than his own. W. P. Kinsella's stories about
the Hobbema Indian reserve are often cited
as examples of objectionable subject
appropriation.

Textile art Soul - the process of creating

something using fibers gained from sources
like plants, animals, insects or synthetic
materials.
dreams and imagination- Dream” and “imagination” are closely related
words, but they still have a few distinctions. Both “dream” and “imagination” refer
to mental processes, states, and products of a person’s mind. Both are also
experiential. The two states are not based on or influenced by reality. They also
refer to the capacity and creativity of an individual. “Dream” and “imagination”
are often mistaken for one another simply because hey exist in the same context –
the mental mind. They can influence each other in many instances, and sometimes
they can also be influenced by environmental factors with the help of the five
senses.

Tnalak process- one of the

eminent products that the province
of South Cotabato has become
celebrated is the T’nalak weaving.
A unique weaving pattern that
illustrates geometric patterns
depicting both art and a definite
paradigm of culture dreamt to life
by T’boli people, an ethic tribe in
the Philippines. It is made of abaca fibers with miniscule knots and
dyed red and black with striking profundity. The process starts by
tediously stripping the abaca fiber from the pulp and gently coaxing the
fibers to become soft and workable. The fibers are then carefully
aligned on the loom much like a blank canvass for the initial stages of
translating a dream into a work of art.

T’nalak and T’boli art- another skill

that has been raised to the level of art
The traditional cloth, the t’nalak is
made of krungon (abaca fiber)
extracted from the mature fruit
bearing wild abaca. T’boli folk literature reflects typical beliefs,
customs and traditions of their society.

Dagmay- a handwoven textile

made from abaca. Making it
involves a mud dyeing techniques
wherein tribe members soak their
tannin -dyed yarns into iron rich
mud for days. The Mandaya
women weave the fibers into
intricate figures and patterns
depicting their folklores and beliefs.

Pis-yabit- the multicolored cloth of the

Tausug traditionally worn by the Tausug
men as a headdress or clothing accessory
folded neatly and draped over the left
shoulder It is worn along the lapi or upper
garments and the sawal or loose trousers
symbolizes the wearers elevated position
in the society.

Seputangan- a handwoven square cloth used

as a headcover by women or as a sash.
Traditionally it has an off white background
usually with square patterns which are “stood up on end” o The patterns
are of great variety and so cannot be pre programmed as for other types
of weaving. about one meter wide it is very difficult to weave.

Inaul- also pronounced as inol .a time

honored weaving tradition of the
Maguindanao people usually made
into malong or wrap around skirt
commonly and regularly used by both
sexes. The Maranaos of Marawi City
has this weaving tradition.
