Ang Di Magbago Tayo (Mulitmedia Art Exhibit - Sept 6 - 9, 2016)

The BIBO team was given a project that requires an exhibition about whatever topic they may choose among themselves. In this case, to eliminate or "kill" a negative trait about an individual. The peg is to simulate a crime scene; the victim being the negative characteristic, and the criminal, who is the artist that has to kill the victim. To further clarify, the "taya" is the person who did not change or eliminate the characteristic, and the victim is the embodiment of a particular negative characteristic.

The exhibition shall explore the   polarities of the human psyche -  concept of good and evil. The exhibition aims to visually articulate   that everybody has a negative characteristic in themselves and each individual has the choice to eliminate these unwanted traits through their own initiative.

The concept of the exhibit is to mimic the idea of a crime scene where each artist shall be both protagonist and antagonist. The participating artists shall illustrate personal negative traits through their selected mediums.  The art works are intended to confront the viewers and the artists alike on how to deal with their negative characteristics.

As an interactive element, the exhibit will feature a crime scene look and feel and the group’s individual art work is their crime showcased in their specialization. The concept is that each member is a suspect in a crime of murder and the audience or visitors are the ones who will decide who the killer is.  But they don’t know that each member killed a characteristic about themselves that is unpleasant, negative, or somewhere along those lines. The audience role is to find out or investigate who likely killed the victim by analyzing each artwork as clues and evidences.

The location for the exhibit will be preferably held inside a house (or a well divided space) because it is where a person contemplates about himself and sees negative things. And also, if the crime is about oneself, it is more likely to happen inside a home.

In the end of the exhibit, there shall be a "Taya", a person that failed to change. The point of the exhibit is to show people that there will be something one will not tolerate about themselves and will have the desire to change but could not. Hopefully this encourages people that there will always be  a way, there is still a chance for self betterment, and there will always be a better choice.
