Metro Manila (CNN Philippines Life, June 5) — Start the month by visiting new exhibits, attending the launch of a small press, and registering for a floristry and DJ workshop.
Drop by Nona Garcia’s “Overland” solo exhibit
The artist Nona Garcia is known for painting after the photographic image and creating works that draw from her immediate surroundings and encounters. Her latest solo exhibit “Overland” is based on visual landscapes from Baguio and the Cordilleras — places that are important to her. The exhibit runs from June 8 to July 1 at Silverlens Gallery.

Revisit ‘90s Pinoy pop culture at a vintage magazine exhibit
Posting magazine scans from ‘90s Pinoy pop culture, the Instagram page @90skabaklaan is a nostalgic gem. The page was created in 2021 as a “queer love letter to Pinoy pop culture,” and has drawn quite a following for the photos and clips of male actors and general ‘90s showbiz culture that its admin has managed to unearth. In time for Pride month this June, they’re mounting an exhibit at The Den in Escolta, where they’ll be displaying some of the vintage magazines they’ve used in their posts. Catch it for free from now until June 30 at The Den. — CNN PHILIPPINES LIFE STAFF
