A visual and intellectual delight for abstract art enthusiasts, Passion & Compassion features Dr. Leovino Ma. Garcia's collection of one of the country's leading exponents of abstract art, Lao Lianben.

Austere images of Lao's paintings grace each page, provoking one's imagination and reflection.
A Philosophy professor and former Dean of Ateneo de Manila University's School of Humanities, Garcia shares his insights as a Lao collector and offers advice on appreciating abstract art's means of presenting reality.

SULU: BEYOND THE CURRENT
|
Cone Room, Dragon Gallery, and Alcove Gallery
June 21 — September 23
Of all the places in the Philippines that had early relations with China, Sulu had always been special.
The earliest accounts on Sulu are found in Chinese records in the Yuan Dynasty (1278 — 1368) when trade between the Chinese and the inhabitants of Sulu accelerated.
After centuries of commercial relations, Chinese culture permeated Sulu.
Sulu: Beyond the Current showcases the art, culture, and lifestyle of the people of Sulu, tracing the archipelago's Chinese roots.
Opening on June 21, the exhibit will especially delve on Sulu's ethnolinguistic communities, economic power through maritime trade, and instruments of expanding power and social status.
