MaArte ka ba?

May 15, 2010 By: jessicazafra Category: Announcements No Comments →

The Museum Foundation of the Philippines presents MaARTe: A Contemporary Filipino Arts and Crafts Fair on May 20 and 21, Thursday & Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm at the Museum of the Filipino People (Old Finance Building). Celebrating the creativity really makes this country great, weavers from the north and south showcase their fabrics and hand woven items, alongside contemporary jewelry designs. Colorful bags crocheted from recycled plastic and wires by the women of the Invisible Institute revive an old craft with a new twist.

To highlight the event, there will also be a concert dubbed Himig at Kultura: A Night at the Museum featuring Palawan’s Sinika, Sinosikat, Drip, and Up Dharma Down on May 21, Friday, 6:00 pm. The concert will also be held at the Museum of the Filipino Courtyard.

An entrance fee of Php50 to the bazaar entitles the holder to free admission to the Museum of the Filipino People during museum hours and to the concert on May 21. Proceeds will be donated to the National Museum.

Never mind the GMA government’s massacre of the Boards of our cultural institutions, we need to keep the museum going.

Lights, please!

Tomorrow is International Book Day

April 23, 2010 By: jessicazafra Category: Announcements, Books No Comments →

A grand Catalan celebration awaits bibliophiles, culture lovers, and the curious this April 24 as Instituto Cervantes brings back Día Internacional del Libro (International Book Day).

Some 4,000 book titles will be on sale at the Spanish cultural center. From 10 am to 7 pm, bibliophiles can get their hands on a wide selection of books – children and young adult titles, dictionaries, novels, and non-fiction titles – for as low as P20. With every purchase, you get a rose. The first 400 buyers will also receive a free anthology of poetry by Miguel Hernández’s, one of the major Spanish writers of the 20th century.

First introduced in Manila in 2006 by Instituto Cervantes, the tradition of Día del Libro began in Barcelona, where on St. George’s Day people would exchange roses for books. This tradition encourages book lovers from all walks of life to gather and indulge their literary passion. This date also commemorates the deaths of two of history’s greatest writers – Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare – who both died in 1616.

Admission to this event is FREE on a FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED basis. For more information, please call 5261482 or visit http://manila.cervantes.es. Instituto Cervantes de Manila is at 855 T.M. Kalaw St., Ermita, Manila.
