Say My Name
Everyone seems to be an artist these days—and in the vast scene stretched over every corner of Metro Manila, it’s gotten harder to rise above the crowd. These young artists, however, are carving out their own spaces and on their own terms.
FEATURES
Act of Faith
By confronting the climate of the martial law era, Ishmael Bernal and Ricky Lee’s legendary 1982 film Himala helped bring to public consciousness questions of belief, identity, and authority. Now, 36 years later, several artists are bringing Filipinos back to the town of Cupang at a time we need it most. Emil Hofileña speaks to the architects of the film’s latest revival to discover how they created the quintessential theater experience.
Forget Me Not
Known for possessing one of the most prized private collections of Philippine and European art, Dr. Eleuterio “Teyet” Pascual’s legacy lives on as captured through the lens of his grandnephew, BJ Pascual.
Only Yesterday
As the weather gets warmer and the sun gets brighter, stepping out in this season’s luxury casualwear is the perfect way to spend the long, slow days.
Phantom Thread
In an era where every thing is political, what then separates Pio Abad’s work from the rest? A unique interpretation of history, for one, as the London-based artist talks to Carina Santos about the criticism that his work is luxury, contextualizing his political upbringing, and why it gets boring spending too much time thinking about Imelda
Marcos.
Home is a Blank Canvas
After skyrocketing to the top of the country’s art scene, acclaimed artist Charles Buenconsejo packed his bags and left for greener pastures. Here, he documents his newly adopted home in New Zealand and the struggle to find a better life.
