Spain and the Philippines share a rich historical legacy, which has intensified in recent years due to increased institutional collaboration and cultural exchange between the two nations. This publication offers an approach to the history of modern and contemporary Philippine art and invites us to reflect on the richness and complexity of our own collective memory. The volume is divided into two parts: the first contains texts on art criticism from a postcolonial perspective, divided into three thematic sections: "Art," which includes texts on the history of art in the Philippines; "Identity," which incorporates testimonies from Filipino artists; and "Postcolonial Discourse," a compilation of several articles written from this theoretical standpoint. The publication also includes a DVD featuring a series of interviews with prominent Filipino intellectuals and an alternative guide to the city and culture of Manila by Jaime Gil. The book was presented at the 4th Philippines-Spain Forum held in 2008 in Cebu City, Philippines.
