Where Borders Blur: The Art of Coming Home

Artists from the Philippines and Thailand took over the V20 Boutique Hotel in Bangkok to hold the Intersections Art Summit—a vibrant meeting point for bridging cultures, igniting creative discourse, and fostering meaningful exchange between Thai and Filipino communities.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1745477554229Event poster 2.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div>Following the summit’s success, Gravity Art Space brings the energy of that encounter home through Reconnecting Intersections—an exhibition showcasing the rich, cross-cultural dialogue born from this international collaboration. While the works stand in strength alone, it is how they come together, interwoven and in conversation, that gives the exhibition its deepest power. Included in the show are works by Erwin Romulo, Pam Miras, Jet Leyco, and Vonne Patiag, alongside special screenings of Juan Orasan by Ging Flores, Fly by Rustom Pujado, Don’t Worry, We Still Hear You by Martika Escobar, and Insert Title Here by Jules Leaño, to name but a few.<div> </div>A hauntingly intimate work included in the exhibition is Tender Mechanisms, a short film by Paris-based Filipina artist and writer Liz Bautista. Dreamlike and arresting, the film moves the viewer between states of relaxation and tension—a visual dance between waking and sleep, public and private spaces.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1745477495131Event poster 1.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div>Having grown up in Manila, Bautista describes how she found “solace in prayer, movement, and sleep. ” The film gently traces these self-soothing practices that have helped her survive in different environments, evolving as she moved from Manila to Singapore to Malaysia to Berlin, and finally, to her now home in Paris.Tender Mechanisms is at once deeply personal and universally resonant—a meditation resilience, ritual, and rest.<div>Special screenings will be on Friday, April 25, from 4:20 PM at Gravity Art Space, Mother Ignacia Ave. Diliman, Quezon City. </div>

Gravity Art Space presents “Reconnecting Intersections", a resonant exhibition born from Bangkok’s Intersections Art Summit—bridging Filipino and Thai creative voices through film, memory, and shared experience.
