“Kara o Krus” Art Exhibit at the Philippine Consulate
/The Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco invites its Filipino American Community partners to its final exhibition for 2024 entitled “Kara o Krus,” an art exhibit featuring six Filipino visual artists from the Philippines and the United States, from 9 to 13 December 2024.
Curated by renowned artist and curator Jes Evangelista, “Kara o Krus” presents recent artworks from artists, who interprets the “kara o krus” or “heads or tails” as dual forms of Filipino identity: living in the Philippines and in the United States; expression of one's individual culture in the Philippines vs. expression of the Filipino culture in another country; and desire to experience other countries vs. desire to return to the home country.
These different perspectives of the art exhibit’s theme will be expressed by six accomplished and award winning artists: Jes Evangelista, Karen F. Concepcion, and Myk Velasco from the Philippines; and Mike Carrion, Mel Vera Cruz, and Michael Sacramento of the United States.
Join us for the art exhibit’s opening on 9 December 2024, 6:00 p.m., at the Kalayaan Hall, Philippine Center, 447 Sutter Street, San Francisco, California 94108.
