EVENT: Kwentong Kutsero Exhibition, 16 February – 16 April 2019, Museo de Intramuros

Ged Merino’s forthcoming exhibition is an act of historical reclamation as well as a tribute to the kutseros, past and present.  The very title can be read in two ways: as often tall tales told by the kalesa drivers themselves to while the time away, and as the informal kasaysayan, or history, of this form of mass transportation and their working-class proprietors.
