Exhibition Details
Offerings for Escalante marks the first major US museum exhibition of artist duo Enzo Camacho (Filipino, b. 1985) and Ami Lien (American, b. 1987). For over a decade, Camacho & Lien’s multidisciplinary practice has addressed geopolitical relations by attending to localized forms of dispossession, survival, and resistance, particularly in the context of the Philippines.
Additional Details
Through moving-image works, a light-based installation, as well as a suite of handmade paper compositions, this exhibition centers the Philippine island of Negros, known for its sugar plantations. A newly commissioned long-form film, Langit Lupa, draws upon survivor testimonials to narrate the story of the 1985 Escalante Massacre, a tragic incident of state violence against a mass protest in Negros under the Ferdinand Marcos dictatorship.
