Performance artist Josephine Turalba presents her latest solo show featuring her current suite of works composed of an array of multimedia works that encompass photography, video installation, painting and serigraph print.
The exhibition showcases leitmotifs laden with narratives of migration of sea, land and air – very apt considering that the show’s name is a Latin translation of the word “wander.” As with most of Turalba’s works, this series takes the form of an investigative and multidisciplinary approach that shifts in context as her medium changes.

Trees in their unique and original character will be showcased in this solo exhibition. Visual artist Dido Gustilo-Villasor has always been fascinated with this Mother Nature’s offspring so much so that she tried to capture trees in the light much like how an artist paints a human being.
The exhibition is presented by Vessel and The Jung Art Collective. Viewing is from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
