Artista ng Bayan
Due to typhoon Juan, the Concerned Artists of the Philippines is postponing the opening of Artista ng Bayan at the Sining Kamalig today. We do not want to take risks on the safety of people. The new date of opening will be on Sunday, OCTOBER 24, 7pm.
Across history, artists and cultural workers have always moved to strengthen and reinforce resistance to oppression. Through a blood-filled and still ongoing history of suppression and colonization, their rendering of social issues in paints and images, deconstruction of social realities in music and multimedia, and criticism of tyranny in poetry and literature have inspired – indeed, fueled – resistance, movement, and revolution.
This year, the Concerned Artists of the Philippines (CAP) will pay tribute to 12 artista ng bayan, namely -- Amado V. Hernandez, Carlos Bulosan, Lorena Barros, Mulong Sandoval, Eman Lacaba, Adul De Leon, Monico Atienza, Leo Rimando, Papo De Asis, Ishmael Bernal, Alex Remollino and Racquel Aumentado.
Rendered by a mix of established and upcoming contemporary Pinoy visual artists, and artista ng bayan in their own right - Jef Carnay, Mark Justiniani, England Hidalgo, Renan Ortiz, Brenda Fajardo, Carla Cubero, Nikki Luna, Mervin Malonzo, Don Salubayba, Benjamin Torrado Cabrera, Beth Parocha-Doctolero, Stum Casia, and ARMAS, the exhibit is to remind us of the life and works of artists who have constantly used art as a weapon to resist oppressive culture, to promote a nationalist and people-oriented art, and to become a crucial part of the people's struggle for freedom, in the hope that we may be inspired do the same.
