Kalye Ilonggo: A Photographic Journey
Museo Iloilo, Fujifilm Philippines, and the
UPV Chancellor's Committee on Culture & the Arts invite everyone to KALYE
ILONGGO: A Photographic Journey, the first photographic exhibit of Street &
Documentary Photographers - Iloilo (SDPI).

The exhibit will feature 60 prints in color
and black & white, aiming to raise the Ilonggo consciousness about themes
that do not readily fit the usual concept of beautiful.
Consistent with conventions on street
photography, Kalye Ilonggo is confrontational and compels the viewers to look
at what may often be disregarded or not minded despite being present in
everyday encounters.

Inspired by street photographers like Alex
Webb, Henri Cartier Bresson, Luis Liwanag, and Rick Rocamora, the photographs
in the collection celebrate not beauty itself but le moment décisif, the small
gesture, the elusive shaft of light, the geometry, the fortuitous gathering of
elements that create meaning to the scene. In effect, the collection invites
the viewer to become firstly a mindful observer then become a participant in
the creation of beauty.
