Selected works of nine photographers will be unveiled on Sept. 13 in an exhibit dubbed Hiblá, at Orange Project at the Art District in Mandalagan, Bacolod City.
The exhibit, that will run until Oct. 26, will feature photos taken by Cru Camara, Faye Abantao, Stephanie Frondoso, MM Yu, Neal Oshima, Roy Aguilar, Jhundel Asunan, Sonny Thakur, and Nap Jamir.
Hiblá highlights Orange Project’s enduring role as a vital hub for contemporary art and community engagement, its press release said, adding the “string of photographs spans analogue and digital spaces of production, some never before exhibited in public”.
The participating photographers invite viewers to explore multiple layers of connection—between artist, medium, and subject; between history, image, and context; and between local, national, and global points of view. “A thread may refer to a micro-blog that stands as the curatorial tool, mixing photos, videos, and texts to bring to light a visual conversation.”
As Orange Project enters its third decade, the exhibition affirms its ongoing commitment to nurturing artistic innovation, cultivating the exchange of knowledge, and promoting sustainable creative practices, the press release said.
Through this dynamic presentation, Hiblá honors the past, engages the present, and gestures toward a future shaped by shared vision and meaningful collaboration, it added. ||
