Mail Order Brides /M.O.B.

For over a decade, Eliza “Neneng” Barrios, Reanne “Immaculata” Estrada and Jenifer “Baby” Wofford have worked collaboratively as Mail Order Brides/M.O.B., a group of Filipina American artists engaged in an ongoing collaborative investigation of culture, race and gender. While traditionally, “real” mail order brides are thought of as ideal obedient domestics, it has not escaped this trio’s attention that, acronymically speaking, “Mail Order Brides” abbreviates down to a more sinister series of initials that inform the darker subtext of their connivings and conspirings. They are committed to making the world a more delicious and harmonious place.
