About Gabii sa Kabilin
“Gabii sa Kabilin†is Cebuano for Night of Heritage, and patterned after the long night of museums in Germany and other European countries. The event is designed to daw foreign and local tourists, but most especially Cebuanos, to visit the museums. It aims to reinforce the belief that local museums are venues for the understanding and appreciation of Cebuano history and culture. But beyond that it also discounts the stereotype of museums as mere repositories of “dead objectsâ€; rather, as venues for live cultural activities. Read more here.
Too bad I’m still in Davao right now; I would have gone to this exhibit;
I also wish I can watch Sun Scream 2011 too, where Urbandub and Powerspoonz are going to perform.
What I miss most about Cebu is the sense of culture. Whenever I visit (once in a blue moon) it’s like a mad rush to gorge on what I’ve missed in the arts and culture scene.
