Faculty members from the College of Communication, Art and Design (College of Communication, Art and Design) visited the opening of faculty member Sio Montera\u2019s Solo Exhibition entitled The Afterlives of Ruin at the Qube Gallery. <\/span><\/p>\n His body of work emerged from the remains of his home studio following the devastation of Typhoon Kalmaegi (Tino) in late 2025. What began as fragments of damaged architecture: cement boards, wood panels, and rusted metal, slowly revealed themselves as something more than debris. They became surfaces that carried memory: of weather, of time, and of a space shaped by repeated cycles of disruption and repair. <\/span><\/p>\n Through assemblage, these materials are reconfigured into works that hold together fracture and continuity. Rather than concealing rupture, the works allow cracks, seams, and discontinuities to remain visible, suggesting that breakage itself can become a structure for meaning.<\/span><\/p>\n Curated by Dr. Jose Santos P. Ardivilla, the exhibition frames these works within a critical reflection on ‘resilience’, not as passive endurance, but as a form of refusal and presence. As he writes, the works do not attempt to repair in order to forget, but to reconfigure in order to remember. <\/span><\/p>\n Aside from the opening program of the exhibition, a public program was held, featuring a practice-led research in studio arts and curatorial talk by Dr. Ardivilla, and an artist talk entitled Fractured Grounds \u2013 Assemblage, Disaster Memory and Spatial Discontinuity. <\/span><\/p>\n The exhibition will run from April 18 to May 14 at the Qube Gallery, Crossroads, Gov. M. Cuenco Ave., Cebu City.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Faculty members from the College of Communication, Art and Design (College of Communication, Art and Design) visited the opening of faculty member Sio Montera\u2019s Solo Exhibition entitled The Afterlives of Ruin at the Qube Gallery.
