“Snare for Birds: Rereading the Colonial Archive” is a collaborative research art project of Kiri Dalena, Lizza May David, and Jaclyn Reyes that inquire into the tangents of the country’s colonial past, archiving, and its impacts on being Filipina. Distinct in their visual languages and methodologies, each artist negotiates their own and the current generation’s positions against an imperial past and present as women residing in the Philippines, Germany, and the United States.
This three part series, curated by Marika Constantino and Iris Ferrer, was first mounted at The Panublion Museum (Roxas City, Capiz), then at the Alfredo F. Tadiar Library (San Fernando, La Union) with the final iteration opening at the Ateneo Art Gallery this September 16, 2023, Saturday with an Artists’ talk.
“Snare for Birds: Rereading the Colonial Archive” is mounted with support from the Goethe-Institut Manila, Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung, Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum, co-presented with The Panublion Museum (Roxas City, Capiz), Alfredo F. Tadiar Library and Puón (San Fernando, La Union).
The exhibition is on-view from
16 September 2023 – 27 February 2024 at the Wilson L Sy Prints and Drawings Gallery, 2F Ateneo Art Gallery, Soledad V Pangilinan Arts Wing, Areté, Ateneo de Manila University. Non-Ateneo guests must visit https://go.ateneo.net/MyVisitAAG at least one (1) hour before their visit for Campus Access.
