FILIPINO National Artist and Iranian scholar to deliver lectures on Balagtas and Hafez

Three writers and four young artists collaborate on an art project called Tarpotula.

A part of Department of Filipino and Philippine Literature’s Tanghal-Likha (Exhibit-Create) program, the writers first gave the artists short lyrics for visual interpretation. Mentor and veteran artist Neil Doloricon generously helped the students improve the individual art works. Then verse and pictorial rendition were combined in tarpaulin prints for exhibition.

Neil Doloricon’s “Editorial Art” students John Casipe, Hannah Castillo, Lery Pardalis, and Odin Sena rendered poems by Reuel Aguila, Joey Baquiran, and Eugene Evasco into tarpaulin posters.

Tarpotula will be launched on February 22 (Tuesday) 3:00 pm at Rizal Hall’s (Faculty Center) orchard side facing Vargas Museum. The “tarpotulas” will be unveiled as the poets/performers recite the verses. The works will be on display until 15 March.

UMPIL DIRECTORY OF FILIPINO WRITERS PROJECT

Proyekto ng Unyon ng mga Manunulat sa Pilipinas na ma-update ang DIRECTORY OF FILIPINO WRITERS na huling nalimbag bilang aklat noong 1991. Kailangan na talaga. May mga manunulat sa nasabing DIRECTORY na sumakabilang-buhay na, ang iba ay sumakabilang-kandungan, may nag-retiro, ang ilan ay hindi na nagsusulat o kaya ay nagbago ng gawain. Marami rin ang lumipat ng tirahan, ng propesyon at ng pagkakakitaan. Marami na ang nagbago ng anyo at itsura. May humaba at may nawalan ng buhok. May ilang nagbago ng kasarian. Marami nang nadagdag sa mga sinulat at sa mga parangal na natanggap. Marami na ring mga bago at batang manunulat na dapat maisama sa talaan.

Bilang Tagapangulo ng UMPIL, ako ang naatasang mamuno sa proyektong ito. Balak naming malimbag ang bagong DIRECTORY hindi lamang sa anyo ng aklat kundi sa anyong digital, na maaaring matingnan ng mga kasapi at mga interesadong mananaliksik sa website ng UMPIL.

Dahil dito, kami ay nangangalap ng mga bagong datus at impormasyon tungkol sa mga kasalukuyan at nabubuhay pang manunulat. Mangyari po lamang na paki-fill up ang nakalakip na PERSONAL DATA FORM at ipadala sa akin. Maaari kayong gumawa ng sariling format na mas madali para sa inyo, mahalaga lamang na nakapaloob ang lahat ng impormasyong hinihingi sa kalakip na FORM.

Kalakip nito ang aking katiyakan at garantiya na ang ipadadala ninyong impormasyon ay pangangalagaan ko at gagamitin lamang sa nasabing proyekto at wala nang iba. Nakahanda akong managot sa ano mang impormasyong ipinadala ninyo sa akin na kumalat sa labas ng proyekto.
