Ang Ilustrador Ng Kabataan (Ang INK) is paying tribute to its late founder, award-winning artist Robert A. Alejandro, with its 2025 annual exhibit, Guhit, Bulilit, Guhit!.
The show, held in partnership with All Together in Dignity (ATD) Fourth World–Philippines and Museo Pambata, highlights Alejandro’s dedication to children and art.
Alejandro, who died in 2024, was a founding member of Ang INK and volunteered his design skills for nonprofits, including Museo Pambata, the Philippines’ first interactive children’s museum. He was also active in ATD’s Street Library program, inspiring children and volunteers alike through workshops and community activities.
Instead of focusing on his career achievements, the exhibit celebrates Alejandro’s impact on communities he cherished. “He believed that art is for everyone,” Ang INK said. “This exhibit honors his passion for bringing the experience of creating and appreciating art to Filipino children from all walks of life.”
The exhibit features 61 new works by Ang INK members, alongside Alejandro’s photographs, videos, and artworks from ATD archives. Stories from the community highlight how he influenced young artists and volunteers.
Guhit, Bulilit, Guhit! runs until Feb. 7 at the Balay Yatu Mini Galleries, Museo Pambata, Roxas Boulevard corner South Drive, Manila. For information, contact Ang INK at hello@ang-ink.org or Museo Pambata via PJ Natoza at pj@museopambata.com.
