We expected that there would be many beautifully decorated bras from the CMZ B.R.A. A.R.T. Workshop and we eventually got more than 500 art bras! What we did not expect was that there would be so many superbly embellished bras which exceeded our imagination in terms of beauty, creativity, innovation and insight!
Activity 4: Thus, please visit the CMZ B.R.A. rt Exhibit showcasing the chosen Art bras, now at the Lantaka Hotel and probably by April at Tony's Restaurant in Paseo Del Mar. These amazingly decorated bras were done by CMZ Staff, partners in the community and friends from other places in the Philippines and abroad. The concept of the Art exhibit is by partner artist, Rameer Tawasil!
Other decorated bras are already part of the main installation art!
Activity 5: B.R.A. Collection continued even after the contest period to accommodate other friends in the community who wanted to be part of the campaign like Sophie Paris-Zamboanga who gathered more than 500 bras in a two-week period!
And most of all friends from Pangasinan, Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, NCR, Cebu, Dipolog, Davao and from far Brunei, U.S.A., UK and the Netherlands.
Here are decorated bras mailed from Bulacan, Cebu, Manila and Brunei just to show support to our cause!

The Ciudad de Zamboanga B.R.E.A.S.T. Installation Art may be the largest BRA art made up of old and used bras as well as decorated bras here in the Philippines and the world! (Please inform us if you believe otherwise!)
And most of all, this is THE work of art of the Zamboanga City community and from friends in the Philippines and also internationally, which makes this Ciudad de Zamboanga B.R.E.A.S.T. Installation Art even more meaningful!
