THE WEIGHT OF WORDS An Alphabet of Human Rights
24 November 2017 to 21 January 2018 Opening reception: 24 November, Friday, 6pm Pasilyo Guillermo Tolentino (3F Hallway Gallery) Pasilyo Victorio Edades (4F Hallway Gallery)
The exhibition brings together professionals in the visual arts and design industry, each choosing a letter or two to connect to a concept in human rights. The hope is that, with these letters, words and art, the universal truths about human rights that can again be revealed, shared, reflected upon, and force an acceptance and commitment to the truth that human rights is not the cause of the chasm – it is the bridge that will unite. Participating artists and designers include Keith Dador, John Ed de Vera, June Digan, Electrolychee, Lala Gallardo, Gerilya, Meneer Marcelo, Jom Masolabe, Dan Matutina, Kevin Roque, Daniel Palma Tayona, and Wesley Valenzuela.
