Pre-colonial period

As part of the #LunetaArtFair on Sunday 2 Feb a group of artists and history enthusiasts (called #Renacimiento) organised a live sketching session featuring historical re-enactors wearing vintage clothing. The event was called “Threads through time” and aimed to deepen understanding of the historical legacy of fashion in the Philippines. Each of these sketches was done in about 15-20 minutes – the models posed in couples, but I wasn’t always able to capture both of them in such a short time.

Women in 1800’s – Mary Anne

After Pasinaya I joined the #LunetaArtFair on Sunday 2 Feb. The art fair is an annual event that takes place in Rizal Park’s Noli Mi Tangere Garden in Manila., that showcases art from local galleries. After helping set up the #UskManila stall I went over to the area of the park with statues depicting Rizal’s last days. These were made by Eduardo Castrillo (1942-2016) from bronze and brass, a famous Filipino sculptor who was the artist behind the People Power monument on EDSA and many other sculptures around the Philippines.
