Sandiwa Artists Group’s First Collective Exhibition

October 18–24, 2025 | 1159 Creative Space

This past October, the Sandiwa Artists Group proudly presented their very first group exhibition, KAPWA: Tagpo ng Guhit at Diwa, a vibrant celebration of connection, creativity, and shared narrative through visual art.

🎨 What Kapwa Was All About

KAPWA — a Filipino concept rooted in shared identity and collective spirit, served as the backbone of this exhibition. Every work on display echoed the theme of interrelation — not just between artist and viewer, but among communities, experiences, and stories.

This wasn’t just a showcase of beautiful brushstrokes or technical mastery — it was a meeting of hearts and stories. Each piece was an invitation to see, feel, and reflect: a tagpo (meeting) of guhit (marks) and diwa (spirit).

🖼️ Highlights from the Exhibition

Artists from across different backgrounds came together to present works that ranged from abstract explorations of color and form, to narrative pieces rooted in personal and cultural memory. Many guests remarked how Kapwa felt like a conversation — not just between works of art, but among the audience themselves.

From bold expressive strokes to delicate details, every artwork carried intention — inviting visitors not only to admire but to connect. The exhibition days were lively with visitors engaging in thoughtful conversations, capturing moments, and sharing stories that reflected the very heart of kapwa.

🧑‍🎨 Behind the Scenes: A Collective Effort

Kapwa was more than an exhibition — it was a labor of love by the Sandiwa Artists Group. Many of the participating artists shared that working together to realize this show strengthened their bonds as creatives and reminded them why community matters in art.

🗓️ Why Kapwa Matters

In a time when the creative world often feels fragmented, Kapwa: Tagpo ng Guhit at Diwa stood out as a reminder that art connects — people to people, experiences to emotions, and stories to collective consciousness.

The exhibition didn’t just fill a venue with beautiful works — it opened a space for dialogue, empathy, and shared human experience through the universal language of art.
