To mark the 45th year of the MassKara Festival, organizers unveiled Sunday afternoon a 150-meter mural painted by a community of local artists, telling the story of the enduring spirit of Bacolod City and its people. The “Bacolod WallStory” spans the perimeter of the mansion owned by the family of former Senator Pedro Conlu Hernaez along Mabini Street in the heart of the city.
Also highlighted are the faces of the sacada of acclaimed Negrense visual artist Nunelucio Alvarado, the role of local artists in the creation of the famous smiling masks of the festival, and what the future looks like for Bacolod. Joan Nagrampa, project and executions director of Orange Project art gallery, said the community art project is inspired by the diverse history and culture of the province. “The mural gives emphasis on sugar workers and the resilient spirit of Bacolodnons,” she added.
