KASARIAN-KASARINLAN

“Kasarian-Kasarinlan” is a vibrant and unapologetic art exhibition showcasing the works of queer artists across various media, forms, and expressions. The title, a play on the Filipino words for gender and freedom, underscores the spirit of gender liberation rooted in the lived realities of LGBTQIA+ individuals from diverse social contexts.

This ongoing 60-day Pride Month exhibition is a collaboration among URS Angono’s Gender and Development Office, URS Angono Fine Arts Department, Culture and Arts Managers of the Philippines (CAMP) Pag-ayo, Inc., and Camp Neñada Community Center.

As part of the experience, each artist leads a walk-through of their work, sharing the personal and political narratives behind their creations. These moments of dialogue bridge art and audience, emphasizing that while visual art speaks for itself, lived stories breathe deeper meaning into every piece. The exhibit also features performance art and open mic poetry, transforming the space into a living, breathing platform for queer expression.

Posters and invites designed by participating artists circulate online and offline, capturing the essence of the show. Most works are available for purchase, with artist-set prices and agreed shares to support both creators and organizing partners.

“Kasarian-Kasarinlan” is more than an exhibit—it is a collective act of visibility, resistance, and shared humanity through art.

"The Gallery," a visionary art exhibition space nestled within our Camp Neñada multi-purpose community center—a sanctuary for creativity, expression, and transformative dialogue. At the heart of our commitment to #ZeroStigmaPH, "The Gallery" takes center stage as a dynamic platform that transcends conventional boundaries. This innovative space is dedicated to regularly featuring art outputs, each carrying the powerful art for stigma reduction campaigns of #ZeroStigmaPH.

.

Launched in November 2024, "The Gallery" will proudly unveiled its inaugural exhibition, "Pasintabi." This poignant and evocative showcase delves fearlessly into the realms of controversial and thought-provoking topics surrounding sexual health, sexuality, and mental health. "Pasintabi" goes beyond the canvas, utilizing art as a catalyst for conversations that challenge societal norms and break down stigmas. The exhibition will serve as a beacon for those seeking neutral spaces to engage in open discussions, fostering a community where individuals can express themselves freely without judgment.

.

"Paglaya" is the 2nd Milestone Exhibition at The Gallery, a powerful collaboration with LAMBANA – Angono Women Artists Collective. Featuring works by 12 women artists, Paglaya reflects deeply personal creative processes shaped by conversations on sexual and mental health, HIV-AIDS, sexuality, and the persistent stigma that silences these issues within families. Through art, Paglaya transforms The Gallery into a Neutral Space, where freedom of expression and social advocacy come together, fostering dialogue, empathy, and change.

.

As an integral component of our multi-purpose community center, "The Gallery" stands as a testament to the transformative power of art, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of stories, perspectives, and advocacy embodied in each piece. Join us on this enlightening journey, where art becomes a potent force for change, and "Pasintabi" and "Paglaya" will mark as the beginning of a series of impactful exhibitions dedicated to dismantling stigma and promoting a culture of empathy and understanding. #ZeroStigmaPH resonates within these walls, echoing the call for a more inclusive and compassionate society.

My existence in the world brings me many questions about how I can reflect my work for viewers to understand me. But the thing about art is that not everyone is required to figure it out. I personally enjoy it when people create different meanings and contexts from the work I present.

The process of making art has become more experimental for me. I must say that the part of myself reflected in my work can either mirror my identity or challenge my own opinions.

I'm Ahlen Ken, but you can call me “Ahki.”

I’m Lei Ayra Manzanares, but you can call me Lei. I’m a Fine Arts graduate from Angono, Rizal, and I currently work as a graphic artist. I mainly paint landscapes using acrylic and watercolor, and I’m exploring different styles and mediums as I grow.

For me, art is more than just something to look at—it’s a way to express feelings that are hard to say out loud. It helps me make sense of the world and share my thoughts in a visual way. Through my work, I hope to not just reflect reality, but to reshape it, question it, and connect with others.

KASARIAN-KASARINLAN Art Exhibit Opens with Powerful Stories, Warm Community Welcome | Angono, Rizal | June 21, 2025

The Kasarian-Kasarinlan art exhibit opened to a full house on June 21, 2025, at The Gallery of Camp Neñada Community Center in Angono, Rizal. The vibrant and deeply moving launch brought together artists, advocates, youth leaders, and community members to explore gender, liberation, and identity through art.

The opening became even more meaningful with the special visit of Angono Vice Mayor and Mayor-elect Gerardo Calderon [Mayor Vice Calderon] who mingled with artists, guests, and visitors early during the evening. His presence and warm conversations reflected the local government’s openness to the arts and to spaces that uplift diverse voices, especially from the LGBTQIA+ community.

Kicking off the evening, Ian Felix Alquiros (Executive Director, Culture and Arts Managers of the Philippines - CAMP) and Odoi Villalon (Program Head, Bachelor of Fine Arts, URS Angono) delivered the opening remarks. They emphasized the power of art in creating neutral spaces where sensitive conversations can thrive without stigma or shame. Alquiros highlighted CAMP and Camp Neñada's commitment to "Art for Stigma Reduction", resonating with the exhibition’s raw and honest narratives.

The highlight of the evening was the artist walk-through. Participating visual artists shared their works and stories—touching on struggles, vulnerability, and truths experienced by the LGBTQIA+ community and Filipino youth, that added depth to the emotionally charged atmosphere.

The Kasarian-Kasarinlan exhibit runs daily until August 20, 2025, and is open to the public. All are invited to visit and experience the richness of queer and youth narratives expressed through painting, sculpture, mixed media, and installation art.

For those who can’t visit physically, the exhibition is also available online in two formats:
