Everyone is invited to visit the Philippine Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. The Pavilion, a joint effort of the Office of Senator Loren Legarda, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, and the Department of Foreign Affairs, is housed at the European Cultural Centre - Palazzo Mora located along Strada Nuova (www.palazzomora.org). Further details on the curatorial concept and participating artists may be viewed at http://www.philartvenicebiennale.com/tie-a-string.html#curatorial.
