Artists from the islands of Samar, Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental, Guimaras, and the provinces of Panay—Aklan, Antique, Capiz, and Iloilo—and selected international artists will converge in Antique for the 17th edition of the Visayas Islands Visual Arts Exhibition and Conference (VIVA ExCon) on November 8–10, 2023.
VIVA ExCon is considered the longest-running and largest art biennale in the Philippines. Designed as both an exhibition and a conference, the conference component was meant to provide “a mechanism for the discussion and assessment of parallel artistic development in the islands, give an opportunity for analyses of academic theories and other relevant issues, and serve as the context for a better understanding of various aspects of contemporary art practices.” It was likewise meant to provide a “historical perspective on the various art and craft traditions of the islands and generate resolutions" (VIVA EXCON Folio, 1990).
The 17th Edition of VIVA ExCon includes:
Maria Madamba-Nunez
Daisuke Takeya
Andreas Hoffmann
