Cian Dayrit’s practice interrogates dominant notions of space and power through the use of tools and materials representative of institutions such as the state, museums, the military, and the church, among others. In his shortlisted exhibition “The Austere Enclave,” he examines the intersections of ecology and policy, focusing particularly on how political-economic ideologies such as neoliberalism disfigure landscapes and affect how the people within them function and live.
Centering his artistry on community-based works, Vien Valencia founded Nomad Projects to address changing landscapes in various local communities. In his exhibition “your age, my age, and the age of the river,” Valencia travels to Tanay, Rizal to work with the Dumagat-Remontado indigenous group in saving the Tinipak River from the Kaliwa Dam project, which threatens to destroy not only the community’s means of livelihood, but also effectively erase the cultural and environmental history of the landscape.
This ArtSpeak program is organized in line with the Ateneo Art Awards 2023 exhibition, on-view until 02 December 2023 at the Fredesvinda Almeda Consunji Gallery, Ambeth R Ocampo Gallery, Elizabeth Gokongwei Gallery, and Alicia P Lorenzo Gallery, 3F Ateneo Art Gallery, Soledad V Pangilinan Arts Wing, Areté, Ateneo de Manila University.
