Humanities Week
20 -- 24 September 2004

Monday, 20 September
Arete Opening Ceremonies
10:20-10:45 a.m., area in front of the H. De La Costa Hall
To formally kick-off the events and exhibits of the Humanities Week is a simple ceremony featuring a dance performance by Ina Feleo of the Bayanihan Dance Troupe and a candle light ritual. Celebrate with us as we strive for human excellence through mind, body and spirit, celebrate life, celebrate the arts.

"Pagpasa ng Liwanag"
A symposium on the evolution of the Philosophy core curriculum from the
70s to the 90s 4:30 -- 6 p.m., SS-AVR
Hear why students have to go through four semesters of philosophy! Find out just how far the Ateneo has come to imbue its students with the rigor of this craft! And finally decide for yourselves if it is all truly worth it ... (which it really is!) Let our university's great minds convince you! Speakers include Dr. Antonette Angeles, Dr. Leovino Garcia, and
Mr. Geoffrey Guevara.

"Graced Imagination"
4:30 -- 6 p.m., Rizal Library Multi-Media Room
Let the Ateneo senior speak! Enjoy an hour of powerful images, music and words produced by university seniors at the height of their inspiration. A showcase of best student multimedia projects from Theology 151, the capstone course of the Ateneo Theology program. Profound,
heart-stirring messages by Filipinos for Filipinos! Our fourth year students at their
best!

Tuesday, 21 September
"Graced Imagination"
Re-run of multi-media projects done by Th 151 students
4:30 -- 6 p.m., Multi-Media Room, 1/F Rizal Library Annex
"Takipsilip," a Film Festival
6-9 p.m., Colayco Pavilion
The films unveil talent in video production and filmmaking by Ateneans who have made names for themselves in the world of Philippine cinema for their outstanding works. These are Mike de Leon's feature film, "Bayaning Third World," Quark Henares' "A Date with Jao Mapa" and "LAB" by Zig Marasigan.

Wednesday, 22 September
"Graced Imagination"
Re-run of multi-media presentations done by Th 151 students
10:30 a.m. -- 12 noon, Multi-Media Room, 1/F Rizal Library Annex
"Aria," a Literary Night
6-10 p.m., Quad 3 (garden between the De la Costa Hall and Social Science Bldg.)
The breath-weighed syllables of ARIA not only summon the element of air, but bring to mind the image of the lone soprano raving in her music. As the artist sculpts her voice to a fine composition, so does the writer smith his words until they are able to cleave the silence like a song. Partake in this celebration to unspin the creative spirit during a night of readings in poetry and fiction, musical performances and a booksale.

Thursday, 23 September
"Cyclorama," a Night of Performing Arts
6:30-10 p.m., Quad 2 (space between the Rizal Library & Colayco Hall)
In theater, reality is rendered and transformed. Worlds are brought to life through movement, presence, performance. A cyclorama is the blank wall at the back of the stage. It suggests infinite space and the unlimited possibilities. Arete's Performance night engages the fourth wall with the endlessness of the third. The evening will include performances by Blue Repertory, Entablado, the Glee Club, and other
performance-related groups.

Friday, 24 September
"Sonata," a Musical Concert
6-11 p.m., Quad 2
Step into the music time machine and revel in the continuous rediscovery of music's progression spanning the 70s through the 90s. Arete's culminating event will showcase the musical talents of our own Ateneo Musician's Pool as well as some of the country's musical forerunners. Music to cater to every discerning ear will be played by bands like Kjwan, Blue Jean Junkies, Taggu Ndios, Chrome 8, Plane Divides the Sky, One Day Old, Sponge Cola, Wake Up Your Seatmate and The Late Isabel. Tickets at Php50 each.

Exhibits
Monday thru Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Fashion Exhibit: "Moda," at the Colayco Pavilion
A showcase of an art that has eternally embodied beauty and style, this exhibit presents the evolution of the fashion revolution from the 1970s to the present. More than anything, fashion is that which prevails across cultures and time, feeding the need for personal expression, thus
creating a mélange of dynamism and vivacious creativeness. Visual Arts Exhibit: "Kaibigan kong Artist!" at 1/F H. de la Costa Hall Ateneo is said to be the home of excellence in the humanities, its students surpassing all expectations. This exhibit is a testimony to their talents, showcasing brilliant masterpieces by current Ateneans, alumni as well as non-Ateneans.

Photography Exhibit: "Pinoy Identity" at 2/F Rizal Library
Everyday we see icons of Pinoy culture; but more often than not, we ignore their presence, being buried in the frenzied lifestyle of the urban world. Let this exhibit rekindle the Filipino flame in all of us, reminding what our country and we ourselves stand for.

Comics Exhibit: "Moira" at the Colayco Pavilion
Mirroring the popular comics theme from the 70s through the 90s, Moira exhibits the search for true identity and destiny. Collections of prominent comic strips will be displayed, along with descriptions of the artists who made them. A reading corner will also be open alongside
mini-film showings of old Darna films.
