For the group show Sa Pangatlong Kanto
An exhibit in celebration of Dante Alighieri's 750th Birth Anniversary.
The show runs from November 24 to 27, 2015
at the Museum of A History of Ideas, University of the Philippines Manila.
Similar to Alighieri's Divine Comedy and its three different realms of the dead, people on earth live bit by bit in their own kind of division too. Most stay in domains where they think they fairly belong, while some move from under to somewhere over and beyond in attempt to achieve a change of mind and of heart―a journey to metanoia.
This, in relation to Dante's sailing across the river of sorrow, also known as the Acheron, with Virgil and Charon the ferryman marks the beginning of his pilgrimage.
See Inferno, Canto III.
