The exhibit theme revolves around extra-judicial killings, the failed war on drugs, and the West Philippine Sea dispute. Artists from Davao, Lucena, Laguna, and Angono will join their peers in Metro Manila for the show.
Organized by the BANTA Artists Initiative, in partnership with Bawat Isa Mahalaga (B1M), the exhibit also features a mural by children orphaned by the government’s war on drugs. The Oyayi sa Unos, a choir of orphaned children due to EJKs, will perform at the exhibit opening on November 22, Friday, at 5:30 pm.
