Silverlens presents Nicole Coson, Dina Gadia, Pow Martinez, and Yee I-Lann in a show of force of contemporary artists from the Asia Pacific. In southeast Asia, where all are from originally, artists often come together through informal networks, establishing communities and collectives that become long-term structures of artistic collaboration and exchange.

Silverlens presents ‘The Social Volcano Diaries’ by Norberto Roldan — two sets of collages entitled ‘Religion, Poverty, Revolution’ and ‘Snap Images’ from 1985 and 1986, documenting the political and societal climate in the Philippines during martial law. At a crucial moment with the country’s national elections and the son of the late dictator as the frontrunner for president, ‘The Social Volcano Diaries’ serves as a reminder of Marcos’ hand in the deaths of countless victims of famine and the massacres in Negros.
