Artsiyapo is a unique two-part performance art project conceived by the NNCHS Arts and Design Track students, combining Art and the Filipino cathartic practice of Tacsiyapo.
The Performance
Part 1: Canvas of Expression Viewers are invited to participate by using markers to express their feelings and frustrations on a communal canvas wall. This act mirrors historical and contemporary Filipino expressions of stress relief and appeasement:
Historian Ambeth Ocampo noted a pre-war Vigan tradition where people threw stones at a saint's image for good health.
The popular Isdaan restaurant in Gerona, Tarlac, offers visitors a "Tacsiyapo wall" where they can shout expletives and hurl objects like plates, cups, saucers, and even TV sets at targets labeled with frustrations such as Tsismosa (Gossiper), Inggitera (Envious), and Bungangera (Nagging).
Part 2: Icy Release In the culminating second part, NNCHS Arts and Design senior high school students physically threw balloons made of ice water cellophanes and filled with dyed water, symbolizing a dramatic release of tension.
