Consulate General of the Philippines Frankfurt

The Philippines’ art sector has been hit hard by this pandemic. For the Filipino artists, the response to this virus was the genesis of a ‘new art reality’—the so called ‘pandemic art.’ But there will be challenges for them long after the rest of us return to work. Now, more stronger than ever, it is important to recognize and protect the work of our artists.
The Philippine Consulate General in Frankfurt, in partnership with Transwing Art Gallery, invites you to an opportunity to listen to the voices of the Filipino artists as they ‘envision healing and inspiration from abroad’ in their art. Join us and offer support for the Filipino artists in times of pandemic.

As the whole nation commemorates this significant celebration of the Muslim community, I enjoin non-Muslim Filipinos to take time and reflect on the virtues that this feast signifies so that we can develop better understanding of the Islamic Faith and foster harmony and respect among Filipinos regardless of religious and spiritual beliefs,” Legarda said.
