NEWS | SIMULAT Exhibit Opens at Casa Real Shrine

The Fine Arts students of Bulacan State University formally opened the “Gunita ng Pagkabata: SIMULAT” Painting Exhibit at the Museo ng Kasaysayang Pampulitika ng Pilipinas – Casa Real Shrine. Led by Fine Arts 4A students Amilein Abayon, Aelise Torres, and Harrold Muncal, the exhibit features artworks inspired by the students’ childhood memories and also in celebration of National Children’s Month. The opening was held at 1:00 PM on Friday, November 21.

The program began with guest registration, followed by the opening prayer, National Anthem, BulSU Hymn, and BulSU March. After the hosts delivered the opening spiel and the venue organizers gave their opening remarks, certificates were awarded to both the guest speaker and the venue. The event concluded with closing remarks and a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

In an interview, Harrold Muncal shared that their biggest struggle was finding a venue. “Ang unang choice namin is yung KB Gym sa Capitolio, pero nirerenovate,” Muncal said. “Pero mabuti na lang at binuksan sa amin ng Casa Real ang pinto.” he added.

He also explained that budget limitations affected their planning. “Mahirap lumipat-lipat nang walang budget. Matagal bago sumagot ang mga sponsors,” he said. Amilein Abayon added that they funded the entire exhibit themselves: “Galing lang ito sa pondo ng klase namin. Wala kaming natanggap na sponsorship.”

As graduating students, they also struggled with workload. “Hindi namin alam kung ano ang uunahin — ang exhibit or yung requirements namin,” Amilein said. “Pero nagawa namin lahat, at nagtapos kami ng semester nang may bang.” she concluded.

For future exhibitors, Harrold advised students to prepare early. “Maglakad-lakad ka na may dala-dalang papel habang maaga pa. Huwag ipagpaliban ang mga bagay, lalo na sa mga sponsors,” he shared.

Meanwhile, Aelise Torres explained the meaning behind the theme SIMULAT. “Galing ito sa salitang ‘simula’ at ‘mulat.’ Ang tema namin ay alaala ng pagkabata sa surrealism art — ang simula mo, at ang unang paggising sa malikhaing mundo sa loob ng iyong isip,” she said.

The opening of “Gunita ng Pagkabata: SIMULAT” celebrated both artistic expression and the imaginative world of childhood, an inspiration the students hope visitors will reconnect with throughout the exhibit’s run. The exhibit runs from November 21 to 30. | via Aimee Villamor, CAFA Sketch

Sa ilalim ng bawat kulay,
May dugong umaawit ng buhay.

Mga tinig ng puso, hinaing, at pag-asa,
Mga larawang humahaplos sa diwa ng masa.
At mga kwentong nagpapatuloy ng diwang ating pinagmulan.

Bilang pagpupugay sa paggunita sa Indigenous’ Peoples’ Month tuwing Oktubre, inihahandog ng buong CAFA Sketch — kasama ang mga dibuho at mga tampok na alagad ng sining — ang SKETCHtober, isang pagdakila sa pamayanang patuloy na nagtataguyod ng kanilang kultura, sining, at pagkakakilanlan.

Sa bawat obra, mababakas ang kwento ng katatagan, dangal, at pag-ibig sa bayan.

Ito’y paalala na ang sining ay hindi lamang likha — ito ay pamana,
patuloy na isinasabuhay ng mga pusong Pilipino.
