“Where the Tides Flow” explores the collective memory of the evolution of Iloilo’s new commercial business district as a testament to the ever-evolving nature of land use, its effect on people, and eventually the history of a place.
A large portion of this new commercial area is located in the barangays of Tabucan, San Rafael, Brgy. Airport in the disctrict of Mandurriao. The exhibition invites artists whose personal history is connected to the locality to reflect on a specific memory or story utilizing interviews with elders, historical photographs, or even family stories, as well as artists who experiment with contrasting styles and materials to showcase the visual evolution of the place from a natural landscape to a commercial district.
“Where the Tides Flow” hopes to combine elements of collective memory and materiality through artworks that bridge the past and present, showcasing the transformation of the place while honoring its roots.
Participating artists:
Margaux Blas, Kristoffer Brasileño, Alan Cabalfin, Jeanroll Ejar, Martin Espino, Jecko, Roland Llarena, Christian Lozañes, John Ray Pareño, Yanni Ysabel, PG Zoluaga, and Althea Villanueva
