The soul of the spirit
"Alimatuan: The Emerging Artist as American Filipino," on exhibit at The Contemporary Museum through Aug. 6, marks the 2006 Filipino Centennial Celebration.
The show, curated by New York artist Koan Jeff Baysa, features the work of 26 emerging Filipino American artists from the United States.
Baysa selected "alimatuan," a word meaning "the soul of the spirit" in a Filipino mountain tribe dialect, to represent both the "remoteness of cultural affinities that Amerian Filipinos share with their forbearers and the intristic values they impart as hallmarks of history, memory and identity," the museum said ina press release.
The Contemporary Museum, located at 2411 Makiki Heights Drive, is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. Admission is $5 adults, $3 students and seniors and free to children 12 and under. Museum admission is free on the third Thursday of each month. Call 526-1322.
