From Adversity to Artistry: SM, Bulakenyo Artists in “ReGeneration”

Realizations of the pandemic and the new normal came to life as some of Bulacan’s notable artists recently gathered for a rare display of art with the recent launch of “ReGeneration” at SM Center Pulilan.

The exhibition, which has been organized by the Pulong Kabyawan Art Collective in partnership with SM Supermalls, marks a significant moment for the province’s art community. “ReGeneration” aims to celebrate the resurgence or awakening of consciousness after a period of uncertainty while drawing inspiration from nature’s rebirth after a prolonged winter.

Featuring the exceptional creations of 25 Bulakenyo artists, every artwork on display represents the unique vision and interpretation of the world, delving into topics of resilience and hope while offering renewed perspectives on life and communal growth. Among the emerging themes during the art exhibit were the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on humanity, sustainability, and the fusion of art and anatomy, among others.
