Kiri @ the 2014 Yokohama Triennale

My friend Kiri Dalena has emerged as one of her generation’s most important artistic voices here in the Philippines. Her work revolves around revolutionary politics, human rights and the human body. It has been a privilege getting to know her and her family over my years here in the Philippines.

A selection of her work as a filmmaker will be on continuous display at 2014 Yokohama Triennale in Japan, from August 1 – November 3, 2014. The following short films will be exhibited:

Requiem for M
Memorial for Filipino Journalists
Washed Out

If any of my friends or colleagues happen to be in Japan during the exhibition dates, I would urge them to catch her thought provoking films.

Go Kiri! <3 --- Yokohama Triennale 2014 Press Release The videos Requiem for M, Memorial for Filipino Journalists and Washed Out will be shown continuously at Shinko Pier Exhibition Hall, Yokohama, Japan from August 1 - November 3, 2014. Yokohama Triennale 2014 will unfold like a book, consisting of two introductions and eleven chapters, and intended to take the audience through a voyage into the sea of oblivion, asking them if they have not left behind something that is fundamentally important. Requiem for M et al, along with works from Vietnam (Dinh Q. Le), Korea (Kim Seong-youn), Bangladesh (Yasmine Kabir), Taiwan (Chen Chieh-Jen) and China (He Yunchang) will be part of Chapter 10.
