Philippine History and Technology Combine in Sining Saysay







This M family was fortunate to still see Sining Saysay: Philippine History in Art, which is now on its second year run. The exhibit showcases 30 paintings of Philippine history that spans from the Spanish era to the recent presidential administrations.

While the paintings by 28 artists, including National Artists Abdulmari Asia Imao and BenCab, are fascinating for their varied styles and rendition, what differentiates this art exhibit is its use of technology, presenting history in Augmented Reality (AR). As the event poster says, ‘witness our nation’s past come to life’.
