You are all invited! In celebration of the 89th Iloilo City Charter Day, SM City Iloilo and Taohay NCCA presents 'HÁNAG: Emergent Perspectives - Works by Ilonggo Artists and Designers'. The artists (working on different media), filmmakers and designers are gathered for the very first time to present a sincere ode to Iloilo City, a hometown that honed them in unique ways. Presented by SM City Iloilo and Taohay NCCA Cultural Center and Regional Hub in association with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Iloilo Festivals Foundation, Inc. and the City of Iloilo; and curated by Elvert Bañares (in his first curatorial project for Iloilo in over a decade), the show brings together works by acclaimed, award-winning and some of the most promising visual artists, filmmakers and designers.

* Sorry I had to edit 'yours truly' and write my name because I got word from friends that most bloggers/vloggers copy paste my caption so my name gets omitted and what they read is 'yours truly', prompting their readers it is their work. 😅 *
[ This poster is by yours truly, mixing my own work and elements of illustrations by Arnel Villaceran and photos taken by Gloven Gerogalin. This is from the experimental films/video art 'Kuris/Babayi' and our film will be presented for the first time in the Philippines - after its international festival exhibitions - and in a new format, in digital kiosk, at this exhibit. ]
