Tuklas 2023

Ace Navarro/ Andres Catig/ Bry Barrios/ Den Pascual/ Jack De Castro/ Melvin Pollero/ Renwil Portodo/ Zeelah Aquilizan

December 10, 2023 to January 07, 2024


Young, sincere and driven, the new batch of Tuklas grantees, Ace Navarro, Andres Catig, Bry Barrios, Den Pascual, Jack De Castro, Melvin Pollero, Renwil Portodo, and Zeelah Aquilizan, point out current social ills because they see themselves in charge of the present; as they are also in the momentum of being in-charge, advancing the enrichment of the quality of life where art has more sense than mere object-fetish and plain commodity.
