To contribute to the cultural and economic development of Davao City and Mindanao, Tabula Rasa and Mindanawon artists will launch an exhibit and art fair of contemporary works on November 22-26 this year.
According to Dinky Munda, president of Tabula Rasa Group of Artists, Kanlungan ni Hiraya will be held at Tebow Cure Hospital in Davao City to showcase the art of the new digital era while featuring traditional masterpieces.
“The primary purpose of the event is to exhibit the works of Tabula Rasa, Mindanawon artists and the art produced by Fuji Xerox,” Munda said.
According to Martin Rivero of Fuji Xerox, Tabula Rasa has collaborated with them since art, with the emergence of digital printing, is now able to expand it’s masterpieces into something “meaningful just like advancing a cause.”
Munda also explained that Kanlungan Ni Hiraya symbolizes and promotes the union of Mindanawon artists which is already known for its rich culture and arts.
He added that the art exhibit will also support the mission of CURE Philippines, Inc. in the needs of disabled children, raising awareness and participating in the healing provided by the hospital.
Meanwhile, Vincent Bitana, Tebow Cure Hospital representative, the facility which specializes in orthopedic surgeries provides physical and spiritual healing to children ages 18 years old and below who could not otherwise afford medical attention.
“Around 700 to 800 surgeries have been provided to children from Davao, General Santos, Cotabato, and even from Luzon,” Bitana said, adding that they have been providing treatment to children with conditions like knock knees, bowed legs, and neglected clubfoot.
