Manifesto, Pablo Baens Santos, 1985 - 1987, From the collection of: National Heritage Board, Singapore
Added by: Kenneth TarceI chose this Filipino art piece because it tackles the current urban issue from the artwork's time up to present day, Urban Poverty. A lot of rural folk venture to the urban areas thinking that migrating here would help their life style but on the contrary, it only made it worse. Poverty stricken people crowd the streets of Manila and just like the naked man in the artwork, our growth as a nation is held back for reasons that it is too obvious we have failed to notice it.
