Kidlat Tahimik INDIOGENIUS: Rediscovering Filipino Ingenuity at DAP Tagaytay
Beyond Tagaytay City’s familiar viewpoints and leisure stops, DAP-Ayan ng Sining: INDIOGENIUS offers a reason to look more closely at the ideas shaping Filipino identity. Presented at the Development Academy of the Philippines Conference Center in Tagaytay, the exhibition brings together the artistic world of National Artist Kidlat Tahimik, including portraits, caricatures, and installation works that encourage reflection on indigenous knowledge, colonial history, and creative expression. For a traveler-photographer, the experience offers more than subjects to document; it raises questions about the stories behind the objects and the knowledge they carry.
