ART! ART! ART!

PORTRAITS OF THIRTY OUTSTANDING FILIPINAS AT THE CCP
“All my life, I have been fascinated by the Filipina, how she holds power within our societal system, how she manages this power by quietly taking on pivotal roles, and how she uses this power to eventually come into her own,” says Lorenzo. “The result of her individual journey is what I am interested in: the strong, timeless Filipina with a humanity that transcends history and legacy.”

Isa Lorenzo, the owner of the fabulous Silver Lens Gallery at Pacific Plaza in Fort Bonifacio, now turns the attention to herself as she opens "Filipinas", a photo portrait series of thirty Filipino women who, through their achievements, best represent feminine power and guile in local arts, education, social work, civil society and politics. Curated by Deanna Ongpin-Recto, the series features such interesting personalities as ESTEFANIA ALDABA-LIM, TERESITA ANG-SEE, GILDA CORDERO-FERNANDO, and such twittering idiots as CORAZON AQUINO and ARMIDA SIGUON REYNA.

Opens on February 1, 2006 at the Main Gallery.
