The Artery Manila, a literary and visual arts group based in Malate, has been producing the annual Lenten exhibitions since 2005. Kristo Manila has since been a venue for creative reflection and meditation of the meaing of Holy Week.
“We are excited by the participation of father-and-son or father-and-daughter tandems such as Manuel and Monnar Baldemor, Pasky and Elmer “Emong” Borlongan, Louie and Daniel Louie Fernando, and Rex and Kaiselle Tatlonghari. It is encouraging that Kristo Manila is also becoming a family affair,” said Delan Lopez Robillos, of Artery.
“A Heritage of Art in Faith, The Kristo Manila 2014 Exhibition” is on view at the Art Center of Megamall, Mandaluyong City.
