Heads up, art and film enthusiasts! The week is packed with great exhibits and film festivals. Some events have already started but there some that will start this week-end. Are you ready to plan?
Please carry on.
Random Index
Street/graffiti artist Errol Orbida (aka Chill) and the Cultural Center of the Philippines presents Random Index, an exhibit that showcases more or less three thousand photos documenting Manila's streetlife. The unique thing about this exhibit is giving people access to Orbida's perspective by projecting the photos on the façade of the CCP Main Theater Building.
Random Index opens on September 21, 6pm at the CCP's Pasilyo Victorio Edades (4F Hallway Gallery). You can see the artist's exhibition of photos printed on both paper and wood here and at the 4F Atrium from September 21 to November 6 but from Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 6pm only.
If you want to meet the artist, Errol Orbida will be giving an artist's talk on October 19, Wednesday, 4pm at the CCP's MKP Hall.
