Through thematic explorations, the exhibition illuminates the evolution of Cebuano art, from its traditional roots to its contemporary flourishing. It underscores art’s profound role in preserving and reflecting the community’s identity.
By bringing together a diverse collection of masterpieces, Beyond Horizons celebrates the enduring spirit of Cebuano art and invites audiences to appreciate the beauty, complexity, and innovation that define this unique artistic heritage.
