“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,

it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,

it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,

it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness,

it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”

 ― Charles Dickens,  A Tale of Two Cities

The show, curated by Michela Sena and titled "A Tale of Two Cities", showcases a selection of artworks inspired by the artists' personal experiences of living in two different cultures: Tapaya in Manila and Gutheil in Berlin.

It demonstrates how art can bridge cultural divides and foster understanding among diverse communities. It also demonstrates the power of collaboration in the art world and how it can create new and exciting possibilities for both artists and audiences.
