(SPOT.ph) Marikina River, which carries water from the mountains of Sierra Madre to the Pasig River, is one of the Metro's many waterways that overflow every time a typhoon hits. This is attributed to many factors—from environmental to economics; and the recent typhoon, Ulysses, caused flooding in the area and the displacement of a lot of residents. In an effort to raise funds for victims of the typhoon, artist Nathalie Dagmang is selling single-edition prints of photographs about the Marikina River that were exhibited at Tin-aw Art Gallery in September 2019.
Titled Turbulent Waters, shows snapshots of Barangay Tumana, which used to be a fertile land that produced tons of vegetables and rice in the 19th century. But when much of it was transformed into residential and commercial estates, life changed for the worse for people outside the gated villages. Dagmang's photos give a glimpse of the unpredictable and turbulent waters of Tumana River, and the community surrounding it.
Sales of all photo prints, which range from P2,000 to P15,000, will go to the soup kitchen and relief operation initiated by the Concerned Artists of the Philippines, All UP Academic Employees Union Diliman, and UP COVID-19 Response Volunteers. Deposits can be made through Landbank, BPI, GCash, or BDO. For availability of artwork and price list, visit Dagmang's Facebook.
