BEYOND THE CURRENTS: THE CULTURE AND POWER OF SULU

[Nonoy Tan]

Following from the heads-up from our forum friend Nacho...

The exhibit details are as follows:

BEYOND THE CURRENTS: THE CULTURE AND POWER OF SULU
Cone Room and Dragon Gallery, Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines
Ongoing until September 24

With power as its central message, Beyond the Currents: The Culture and Power of Sulu narrates the story of power wielded over European expansion in the lucrative China trading zone. The exhibit also presents the Sulu Sultanate's culture as the heart of a trade zone, market center, and regional power.

Curated by a team led by Dr. Abraham Sakili and Ramon Villegas, Beyond the Currents showcases archival photographs, jewelry, textiles, and ritual objects from private collectors and museum partners. Rare suits of armor and weapons highlight the might of the Sultanate, which survived attempts at Spanish colonization for over 300 years
