Hikaw at kuwintas ni Beauty na hinukay, nasilip ng cultural critic!
AAhh ‘di pa pala tapos ang kontrobersya sa isinuot na alahas ni Beauty Gonzalez sa GMA Gala Night noong Sabado ng gabi.
Ang sabi, nilapastangan daw nito ang mga nasa libingan.
Nauna na ngang nai-post ni Beauty ang kanyang OOTD “My look for #GMaGala2023 is an appreciation for Philippine Ancestral Gold
“My Centuries old Gold Neck Piece and Earrings are Excavated Eye and Mouth Covers from distant places like Butuan and Surigao, beautifully reworked in this modern setting by my favorite Jeweler @riquezajewellery.”
Na sinagot ng cultural critic / independent curator na si Marian Pastor Roces.
“Someone tell this woman that the orifice covers she is paying “homage” to are grave robber stuff. Because if these were legally excavated, the pieces would belong to the National Museum or the Bangko Sentral.
“Or: if the pieces were excavated decades ago and therefore privately owned by sensible collectors before current restrictions, the question still remains: why death masks as necklace?
“Sure, the owners have been dead for a thousand years. BUT.
“This fashion victim is wearing mouth and eye covers: around 10 of them. Which is to say that the necklace was fashioned from excavations of many individuals. That is an astounding number of desecrated graves!
“How on earth is this an homage, exhibiting impunity and crassness? Wearing archaeological gold death pieces, flaunting excess, is odious,” ang post nito na naka-attach ang article tungkol kay Beauty.
Maging sa nasabing post ni Beauty ay marami na ang nagkomento na hindi tama ang paghuhukay ng ginto mula sa ating mga ninuno upang gawing alahas sa halip na pangalagaan ang cultural value nito.
Kilalang curator ang mister ni Beauty, si Norman Crisologo. At baka may paliwanag dito si Mr. Crisologo.
Bukod sa mga painting nababanggit na ni Beauty sa mga interview na mahilig siya sa mga alahas. Pero hindi mga ordinaryong alahas lang. “Yah, I love jewelries na may stories. Heritage, I collect... excavated gold.. gusto ko ‘yung may story it’s more, alam mo ‘yung may value,” banggit niya sa dating interview namin.
