We started the CMZ B.R.A. (Bra to  Raise  Awareness) Campaign Project last January 17, 2014 (National Cancer Consciousness Week) with the B.R.A. Drop Box Decorating Contest followed by the B.R.A. Collection Contest (launched World Cancer Day February 4, 2014) which yielded about 9600 bras from all over the Philippines and also from friends abroad (Brunei, U.S.A., UK and the Netherlands) at the end of the collection period!

The embellished bras from the CMZ B.R.A. A.R.T. Workshop outdid everyone's expectations and so as an offshoot, please also visit the CMZ B.R.A. rt Exhibit now at the Lantaka Hotel and probably by next April at Tony's Restaurant in Paseo Del Mar showcasing the decorated bras done by CMZ Staff and friends as conceptualized by Rameer Tawasil!

And not to forget, we want to thank our partners in the community as well as friends from Bulacan, Cebu, Manila and Brunei who decorated about 500 bras, some of which are already part of this great masterpiece.

And if you notice,  there are also two artworks on each side which were made by artists from CMZ Ward E led by Jude Locson for the B.R.A. Drop Box Decorating Contest, and is now an additional attraction for the gigantic bra!

Come and have your photos taken here! 

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!
