Project Title and Description

NaSi, an abbreviation for National Situation and a Kapampangan word for rice, is a social realism visual arts exhibit that aims to express the ideas, sentiments, aspirations and visions of the Kapampangan people in relation to the global and domestic economic crisis.

Rationale

Being known as resilient and gifted people, the Kapampangans always take the lead in nation-building through advocacy and social action. Art, being an effective medium of expression, will be used to ignite the imagination, interest and participation of various sectors in addressing the current economic crisis in the country.

The exhibit is likewise part of our joint commitment to promote the Kapampangan culture and arts as an effective medium for social and economic change.

Program and Concept

NaSi, the first-ever collaborative work of major Kapampangan visual arts groups, private sector groups and the Holy Angel University will showcase some 100 artworks including paintings, art installations, sculptures, digital media art, photography and film.

The exhibit will run for seven (7) days and will be participated in by some 50 Kapampangan artists. There will be daily short programs from 4 to 7 p.m. and small cocktails for invited guests.

The Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Pamcham) and ADCL will invite specific private sector groups for chosen dates during the duration of the exhibit (i.e. CILA-Nov.25, Fil-Chi Angeles-Nov. 26, etc.).

As our commitment to help the Kapampangan artists as well, all artworks in the exhibit will be for sale. Only the artists will benefit from the sales of their respective artworks.

The major organizers will solicit sponsorships to cover all the expenses for the exhibit except for the venue, which was offered by the Holy Angel University for free in support of the project.

The organizers will also publish a special magazine for the exhibit. All major sponsors and invited guests will be given copies of the magazine as their souvenir. The arts exhibit will be advertised and plugged in leading television and radio stations in Central Luzon, local newspapers and selected national dailies.
