Kadayawan 2008 : Indigenous Art Exhibit

These are some of the works by Anoy Catague displayed at the Museo Dabawenyo last August 2008 dubbed as the "Anoy Catague Art Exhibit 2008".

The paintings depict the rich culture of the indigenous people in Mindanao collectively known as the Lumads. Music plays a vital role in the lumad's aspect of everyday living. Music is an expression of love and devotion to their works may it be in a farmer's field, wooing a woman or even a death of a person.

Anyways, if you cant' figure out what's in these paintings, simply they are just the replica of what we do everyday.
