Memories of Overdevelopment - Philippine Diaspora in Contemporary Art

This exhibition catalogue commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Philippine people's drive toward democratic independence, a movement that caused thousands to flee political persecution or depart to find employment outside the country. Memories of Overdevelopment identifies contemporary artists whose work touches political issues such as the strengths of traditional materials and Asian cultural icons. Fully illustrated, it features such artists as Manuel Ocampo, Santiago Bose, and Joseph Santarromana, along with numerous essays.
