Dateline: 25 May 2018, UP Diliman, Quezon City

Fourth of eight stops in my exhibit visit marathon in UP Diliman, Quezon City; at the Vargas Museum, Viay nu Ivatan (Ivatan Lifeways), featuring paintings and drawings by Olan Gonzales, and photography by Francisco Datar. Introduction to the exhibition points out:

"The Ivatan culture is shaped by strong typhoons, rough seas, and meager resources.... it exemplifies a particular relationship of a people with their environment.... each household is oftentimes self-sufficient, enjoying a considerable degree of independence."
