🌿 EXHIBITION OPENING | Islands of Memory: Flora and Fauna

The Legazpi City Creative Industry Development Council proudly supports the opening of
Islands of Memory: Flora and Fauna — a collaborative exhibition shaped by two members Albay Arts Foundation, Rome Candaza and Maya Muñoz.

🗓 Opening: March 19, 2026 | 9:00 AM
📍 Albay Capitol Lobby
⏳ Exhibit Duration: 3 weeks

Held in celebration of the 10th year of the Albay Biosphere Reserve, the exhibition brings together artists, photographers, writers, and creatives whose works emerge from intimate encounters with nature.

“Memory is not a single landscape. It is an archipelago.”

Through photography, watercolor, poetry, and painting, each work becomes an “island”—a fragment of memory shaped by lived experience. Some are vivid, others fading, yet all continue to form our connection to the natural world.

Rooted in Albay’s landscapes—its forests, seas, and the presence of Mayon Volcano—the exhibition reflects on how nature lives within memory, identity, and culture.

As we mark a decade since Albay’s recognition as a biosphere reserve, Islands of Memory invites us to see memory itself as ecological—growing, shifting, and deeply intertwined with place.

Join us in this gathering of stories, images, and reflections.

🎨✨ Pista ng Sining sa Legazpi Wraps Up with a Bang! ✨🎨

We proudly closed with an energetic and inspiring finale through Kurit Kaaraman: Kartooning Workshop led by renowned cartoonist Alfonso Miguel Baleda yesterday.

Held at SM City Legazpi, the workshop gathered 60 enthusiastic participants—kids and teens eager to learn the art of cartooning. The event center was filled with creativity, laughter, and imagination as young artists discovered how simple lines can tell powerful stories.

Seeing our young Legazpeños sketch, create, and express themselves reminds us why spaces for arts, creativity, and cultural learning are so important in our city.

From workshops, film screenings, art markets, and community gatherings throughout the month, Pista ng Sining sa Legazpi has truly shown the vibrant spirit of our creative community.

And this is just the beginning. 👀
Watch out for more programs, workshops, and creative events from Legazpi Creatives in the months ahead.

Dios Mabalos sa gabos! who participated, supported, and celebrated the arts with us!
