MANILA – Class 69 of Maryknoll College (now known as Miriam College) will showcase their artistic and writing talents this weekend.

A visual arts exhibit titled “Paints, Lens, and Ink” will be launched at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday at Greenhills Promenade of Greenhills Shopping Center as part of the Golden Jubilarians’ week-long celebration.

It will feature 42 paintings, 16 photographs, and 12 books – of which are works by the 50-year alumni and their family members.

The Fine Arts exhibitors include Fanny Bernardo Blanco, Esther Jose Capistrano, Margarita Ventenilla Hamada, Helen Petines Mayo, and Stella Orig Torres, while guest artists include siblings Franco, Anika, and Natalia Castillo, Akemi Mikaela Elgar, Memphis Katherine Mojica, and Lara Kristine Sarmiento.

Photographs by Aurora Lapus Sagaz and guest exhibitors – father-daughter Cliff and Amanda Scherer – complete the visual arts display.

Also available will be the published works of four Jubilarian book authors: Teresa Misa Gerlinger, Margarita Hamada, Jane Maestro Scherer, and Patricia Nepomuceno Sutter.

In memory of Maryknoll High School 1965 classmate Evelyn Golangco Cu-Unjieng who recently passed on, her book “Finding Me: Life Lessons of a Chinese-Filipino Woman” will also be showcased.

“Paints, Lens, and Ink” will be mounted in tandem with the screening of the award-winning film “Across the Crescent Moon” at the Dolby Atmos Cinema 8 at 5 p.m.

The movie was produced, directed, and written by Baby Nebrida, a member of the class.

Both events are held in cooperation with the Music Museum Group and are open to the public.
