The O Home

The O Home is a mother-child space developed through the colliding synergies of founders Yllang Montenegro and Len-Len, alongside collaborators Aba Lluch Dalena and Zeke Sales, in August 2023. Their works draw on personal experiences of grief, migration, women’s empowerment, and the challenges being called for becoming a mother-artist in the Philippines. The founders, along with Dalena and Sales, launched a duo show called “Ang mga Gaga: Sukdulang Pag-Ibig” to celebrate the opening of its first space in Makati City. The show served as a cradle for The O Home’s subsequent programs, with exhibitions raising awareness on violence against women and children, farmers' rights, and solidarity workshops for Japanese Filipino children and with women political prisoners—traversing various voices of feminists and activists in the space. With the relentless destruction of lands, homes and of the planet due to capitalist patriarchal greed. Counteracting this, The O Home orients its programs to calls towards feminist world-building and future imaginings based on everyday practice.

Since its inception, The O Home has conducted its programs around the metro, and has been recently invited to participate in the 4th Asia Pacific Feminist Forum in Thailand to conduct a workshop on the theme of arts in climate and militarist catastrophes. It aims to sustain this ripple of a journey for the flourishing of children together with the environment, working in various regions.
