Art 2 Art Marks First Anniversary

WOMEN ARTISTS GRACE ³ART 2 ART²
FIRST ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

It¹s a double celebration for ³Art 2 Art² this month, with a joint salute marking International Women¹s Month and the program¹s first anniversary! Hosted by ³ballerina of the people², Lisa Macuja, the program is the only local radio talk show that highlights artists as celebrity figures and aims to popularize arts and culture through its mass-based, ³info-tainment² programming.

This month, a powerhouse line-up of Filipina artists will grace ³Art 2 Art² in a series of interesting episodes no one should miss. On March 2, writer-radio host and pop icon Jessica Zafra goes one-on-one with Lisa to explain how she intends to promote reading among Filipinos, her take on irony and society, and her bold theories about world domination. Legendary duo Inang Laya, progressive musicians Karina David and Becky Demetillo, reunites to commemorate International Women¹s Day on March 9 and shares their views on being an artist, feminist and nationalist. Three siblings born of artist-parents let us into growing up in an art-soaked atmosphere when Sari, Aba and Kiri Dalena guest on March 16. The ³Grand Dame of Southeast Asian Children¹s Theater², Amelia Lapena-Bonifacio, makes a rare interview appearance to bring us a glimpse of her life¹s work in promoting puppetry and children¹s theater in the region on March 23. And finally, on March 30, ³Art 2 Art² pays tribute to an extraordinarily gifted Filipina artist, teacher and cultural manager, National Artist for Music Lucrecia ³King² Kasilag, as she prepares to mount her latest opus even from her sickbed.

March is made memorable by these lovely gems of Philippine art, only on ³Art 2 Art² ­ kung saan ang usapang sining at kultura ay para sa lahat! ³Art 2 Art², hosted by Lisa Macuja, airs every Sunday, 3:30pm, over dzRH and is a production of the Manila Broadcasting Company.
