Forty-one female artists, led by national artist for film Kidlat Tahimik’s daughter-in-law, will be featured in an art exhibit at the Victor Oteyza Community Arts Space March 8.
Lissa Romero-de Guia, wife of Kidlat’s eldest son and namesake, will lead 40 other female artists in the show, “Be-ei: Being Her” an art exhibit that is a tribute to women.
Be-ei is the Ibaloy for women.
“The works of the women are the creative expressions of their introspection, a singular activity that is becoming rare because women multi-task and have many responsibilities other than herself,” Romero-de Guia said in a release.
