Brother Wilfredo E. Lubrico, Fms

Autor: Prima Guipo Hower

Número de Páginas: 288

Brother Willy had one thing in common with billionaire Edward Cole and car mechanic Carter Chambers—the two protagonists in the movie “Bucket List.” It was cancer. Like the two characters, Brother Willy had items left on his bucket list when he learned his diagnosis: learn how to cook, paint, and write the highlights of his life. He did write—all eight paragraphs of it. Then he died. In this extraordinary biography, you’ll learn how Brother Willy joined the Religious Order of the Marist Brothers when he was sixteen. From his early life living on a farm without electricity to his activism as director of the Socio-Pastoral Institute during the fraught times under Martial Law in the Philippines, he lived an eventful life. Marginalized, scoffed at, and labeled a communist, in the end Brother Willy triumphed, earning his Marist superior’s admiration, who hailed him as “the champion of the lost, the last, and the least!” Eventually, he would rise to become president of Notre Dame of Dadiangas University and Notre Dame of Marbel University. He’s fondly remembered as a champion of Filipino youth and the Marist education and mission.

La muestra incluye instalaciones, esculturas, intervenciones, performances y dibujo. Una diversidad formal que responde a la libertad morfológica en la producción de este artista, al que los distintos medios sirven como herramientas auxiliares para expresar conceptos complejos. El título coincide con el de una de las obras de la exposición, una acción en la que un helicóptero permanecerá suspendido durante una hora. De él, colgará una cuerda que colgará hasta estar atada a la pata de una mesa. Tras el día en el que se lleve a cabo la acción, se podrá ver la mesa, la cuerda y un vídeo en el que quede reflejado lo acontecido.

It's the 1980s, a new generation of young men were drafted into a civil war in their home country, Nicaragua. A country known to be the country of war because of its long history or turmoil and economic depression because of the many civil war caused by its own government. Nicaragua would be recognized in the civil war between the Contras and the Sandinistas, which went on to become the most gruesome civil war in Nicaragua. Both political parties acted upon their own benefits and commited many war crimes that went against the laws of the Geneva convention, but both parties did as they please as they took any means of advantage, no matter what the cost, to win againts the other. The ones that most suffered from it were the new generation of young men, but there was one that was more special than the rest. It was a young man by the name of Wilfredo, who had the chance to achive his dream, but stripped away from it when he would be forcefully drafted into the civil war. He would experience warfare like none in which he has ever known, but more importantly, he would learn of the bond of the other young men that served in the war. It is the cruel impact from the two political parties...

The Philadelphia Barrio

Autor: Frederick F. Wherry

Número de Páginas: 215

How does a so-called bad neighborhood go about changing its reputation? Is it simply a matter of improving material conditions or picking the savviest marketing strategy? What kind of role can or should the arts play in that process? Does gentrification always entail a betrayal of a neighborhood’s roots? Tackling these questions and offering a fresh take on the dynamics of urban revitalization, The Philadelphia Barrio examines one neighborhood’s fight to erase the stigma of devastation. Frederick F. Wherry shows how, in the predominantly Latino neighborhood of Centro de Oro, entrepreneurs and community leaders forged connections between local businesses and cultural institutions to rebrand a place once nicknamed the Badlands. Artists and performers negotiated with government organizations and national foundations, Wherry reveals, and took to local galleries, stages, storefronts, and street parades in a concerted, canny effort to reanimate the spirit of their neighborhood. Complicating our notions of neighborhood change by exploring the ways the process is driven by local residents, The Philadelphia Barrio presents a nuanced look at how city dwellers can make commercial...

La luz y el abismo es la historia de dos personajes que, por diversas razones, deciden dedicarse al arte y el conocimiento, pero descubren que no es tan sencillo como quisieran. Se nos revela parte del universo interior de estos personajes y así podemos conocer qué pasa por las mentes de algunos individuos que de tan suyos ofenden al resto. La obra está dividida en veinticuatro capítulos y en cada uno de ellos se narran las dificultades que deben afrontar ambos protagonistas al intentar cumplir con el mandato existencialista de hacerse a sí mismos en un mundo turbulento que todo el tiempo les niega la posibilidad de hacerlo.
