Celebrating National ICT Month with Filipina artist Christa Vega

Last month, the Foundation for Media Alternatives observed the National Information and Communications Technology (ICT) month. As part of our commitment to advancing the people’s right to privacy, intern Victoria Champagne from the Alternatives spoke with Filipina visual artist Christa Vega (ART by slothbender), who challenges the default sexualization of women’s bodies on the Internet through her art.

Through her #SecretNudes project, she aims to not only desexualize naked figures, but also counter the nonconsensual circulation of women’s nudes online. You may read more about her advocacies on women’s rights to privacy and self-expression, and how she uses her artistic skills to further these causes.
