Exhibit on Martial Law victims

large-scale artworks produced by DLS-CSB’s student-artists under the guidance of artist-educator Ramon Manuel de Leon.

The many faces who fought for freedom at the time of Martial Law were honored through “Ang Tanda-Tanda Mo Na, Sinungaling Ka Pa Rin!,” an exhibition of a series of hand-sketched portraits of victims at the De La Salle University College of Law Rufino Campus.

The large-scale artworks were produced by the young student-artists from The De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) Fashion Design and Merchandising and Production Design Programs, under the guidance of artist-educator Ramon Manuel de Leon.

DLS-CSB Center for Campus Art’s Ang Tanda-Tanda Mo Na, Sinungaling Ka Pa Rin! exhibition installed at the 12/F of the SDA Building.

The collection exemplifies precision on the craft and the five perceptual skills in illustration as applied to Portraiture: The Perception of Edges, Spaces, Relationships, Light and Shadows and Gestalt. It is made possible through its Center for Campus Art.

“Ang Tanda-Tanda Mo Na, Sinungaling Ka Pa Rin!” immortalizes the images of the individuals who, after speaking out during the dreaded period, have either gone missing, were tortured or killed. It aims to prevent historical revisionism and disprove the statement of a former senator who claimed that no one was arrested nor executed during the Martial Law era — other than suspected drug lord Lim Seng — due to their political or religious beliefs or criticism on then President Ferdinand Marcos.
