Artists' Talks
July 13, 2019
2PM - 5PM
CCP Small Gallery
Organized by Load na Dito
Load na Dito hosts artists' talks by Nathalie Dagmang, Jo Tanierla and Kanade Yagi, whose works entail fieldwork, community intervention, and material discovery. Through presentations and discussions, this session aims to address questions of 'research' involved in artistic practice - an approach, engagement, analysis, translation, and presentation. It explores the individual interests and processes of encountering a world outside of the studio.

Load na Dito is a curatorial / research platform since 2016. It does not have its own space, and instead, it interacts, counteracts with existing spaces, structures, and knowledge through various projects such as a discussion, an exhibition, a performance, a space, a book, an action or a combination of various forms. We aim to keep prompting ourselves to question our own ways of thinking, acting, making, presenting and viewing.
