The Fine Arts Studio Arts Program of University of the Philippines Cebu presents LITANIYA, a sequel exhibition to MINDWORKS 40: ANTOSANTOS—a continuation that deepens the conversation on resilience, presence, and the quiet burdens carried within student life.
Opening on April 8 at The Kabilin Center, LITANIYA gathers installation works that challenge the expectation to endure in silence. Instead of yielding to the pressures of being unheard, the exhibition asserts a collective refusal: to carry these burdens quietly, to remain unseen, and to let these experiences go unexpressed.
The exhibit frames resilience not as passive endurance, but as an active, even defiant act. Through immersive and material-driven works, the artists explore the tensions between visibility and invisibility, voice and suppression, presence and erasure. In doing so, LITANIYA becomes both a space of confrontation and a site of release, where the personal meets the collective, and silence is transformed into expression.
Featured in the exhibition are installation works by Arwen Villaflor, C:Cube, Dwayne Canoy, EJ Vincent Quilo, Greia Lumaad, Johna Come, Karl Marius Furog, Kaye Plasquita, Marry Grace Augusto, Rhou Ann Lopez, Samantha Sanchez, Sarahgrace Mijares, Trisha Dianne Dayday, and Van Cinco. Each artist contributes a distinct perspective, collectively shaping a powerful narrative of resistance, reflection, and shared experience.
The exhibition ran until April 15, inviting audiences to engage with the works throughout its duration.
More than an exhibition, LITANIYA is a call—to witness, to listen, and to acknowledge the realities that often go unspoken. It invites its audience not only to see, but to feel, and ultimately, to recognize that silence is not the only response.
