In celebration of its seventh year, Nineveh Artspace will hold six shows from Nov. 28 to Dec. 15 at Nineveh Artspace, 2452, 1st Ave., Villa Silangan Subd., Sta. Cruz, Laguna.

 “Jeru-Jerusalem” by Kalye Kolektib (Alfredo Esquillo Jr., Robert Besana, Kirby Roxas, Dennis Atienza, Alvin Cristobal and Archie Ruga) tackles redundancy, myth making and occultism in Mount Banahaw.

“Studio” by Jojo Barja, Alex Abon, Tupe Guillergan and Prince Charming, takes the studio photography experience to a different albeit personal level.

“Premonition,” by Ronald Jeresano and Nica Acantilado, portrays the artists’ anxiety and vague feelings of disquiet about the not-so-distant future.

“Mas o Menos,” by Noel Soler Cuizon, translates his life-changing experience to new visual trajectories.

“Legacy,” by Dennis Atienza, visualizes anew the cultural artifacts and influences of our colonizers.

“Alipinay,” by Lotsu Manes, is a comic yet sad commentary on the Filipina as an OFW, a domestic helper akin to a slave.

CCP 13 Artists Awardee Noel Soler Cuizon curates the show.

For information, call 501-6617 or SMS 0927-9313951.
