April 23 - May 30, 1999

In the past 100 years the Filipino peoples have fought for self-determination against Spain, the United States and Japan. Their struggle for justice continued after independence in 1946 and against the corrupt Marcos regime. These efforts continue today in the areas of women's rights and economic justice. This century of resistance has created a vibrant social realist tradition in art akin to that of revolutionary Mexico of the 1920's and 1930's. The Puffin Foundation Ltd. proudly presents this vibrant group exhibit organized by The Philippine Forum.
