Advocacies

SWAN advocates for feminist expression in the fine arts, empowering women and feminists through creative, safe, and inclusive spaces.

Core Competencies

Cygnets are expected to embody grace, integrity, solidarity, safety, and artistry, guiding their feminist expression and community art practice.
Pads for Progress
Period pantries that promote access to free period products through 8 campus pantries, including remote spots like Bellarmine and the Sports Complex.
Puke-Usap
An intimate, guided roundtable for female-identifying individuals to explore taboo topics like body, art, and sexuality in a safe, small group.
SWAN Art Exhibit
SWAN’s creative showcase featuring works by our own members and others to spark dialogue, raise awareness, build community, and celebrate expression.
Zoe Beatrix D. Ongkiko
University life was hectic, and SWAN gave me space to slow down, create, and connect—where making art felt less like performing and more like unfolding.
Atheena M. Estanislao
As someone who loves art and literature, being in SWAN for almost two years helped me find like-minded people. You don’t fight for your advocacies alone in SWAN—you fight together!
