Not all softness is gentle.
Not all threads are quiet.
Paa sa Lupa gathers three artists whose works in fabric and fiber hold memory, presence, and something deeper beneath the surface.
One carries a quiet, simmering tension beneath the tenderness of the material. Another moves through stitching as an attempt to belong—to be remembered. The third leans into instinct and introspection, where making becomes both release and repair.
Together, their works ask what it means to stay grounded—to hold on, to trace where we’ve been, and to leave something of ourselves behind.
Join us as we open “Paa sa Lupa,” a group exhibition by Marionne Contreras, Ryoji Morimoto, and Tekla Tamoria, on March 29, 2026, at 5 PM.

“Panulok” reflects on what happens when we are invited to pause, look closely, and pay attention—to memories and to the realities of being human today. In a time when important things are easily overlooked, the exhibition encourages viewers to reflect both inwardly and on the world around them, recognizing that everyone carries something that longs to be seen and heard.
At the heart of the exhibition is the quiet invitation to “magtulok sing maayo.” Through this act of looking, “Panulok” opens space for reflection, empathy, and a deeper awareness of how we move through the world alongside one another.
Presented by Orange Project and Ayala Malls Capitol Central, “Panulok” continues both organizations’ commitment to bringing contemporary art into public spaces and creating encounters beyond the gallery walls. Curated by Moreen Austria, the exhibition opens on May 15, 2026, at 6 PM on the first floor and will run until August 15, 2026.

Orange Project is proud to present Flesh, Decay, Maggots and Honey, an exhibition that takes its cue from scaphism, an ancient method, to examine contemporary systems of exploitation, power, and ecological collapse — featuring works by Burog Alvarado, Roedil “Joe” Geraldo, Minh Meo, and Mikiboy Pama
As the exhibition text describes, “flesh becomes territory. Decay becomes a timeline. Sweetness becomes a trap…” the artists reflect on how systems of power slowly affect both people and the environment, revealing how harm can unfold gradually rather than all at once.
Opening this March 29, 2026, 5 PM at the Main Gallery.

Happy birthday, Joseph!
You bring such fresh energy to the team, and we’re truly grateful for your enthusiasm both inside and outside of work. We’re lucky to have another pair of hands to not only help us with the day-to-day work, but also in moving forward together toward the gallery’s vision.
As you turn another year around the sun, we wish you continued growth, and the same curiosity and drive that you bring into everything you do.
And as you keep moving through the year, don’t forget to take a pause in between all the things you take on. 🧡

Happy Birthday Maestro Nune!
Nunelucio Alvarado is a Negrense artist whose work has always been rooted in community, amplifying the voices and realities of the people. His practice remains as urgent and relevant as ever, reminding us of art’s role in standing with and for one another.
Cheers to many more years of inspiring communities, shaping conversations, and reminding us that art belongs to the people.
