Carlos Celdran
Performance artist
Born in 1972, he is an artist known for his popular “Walk This Way Performance Tours” of Intramuros, Manila’s historic walled city. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and former New Yorker, his work is a mix of activism and theatrics. His 2010 protest art performance, “Damaso” resulted in a highly publicised court case against the Catholic Church of the Philippines and his controversial 2012 performance “Livin’ La Vida Imelda” was shut down at Art Dubai by local authorities. His last project before this exhibition was the first Manila Biennale in February 2018 where he served as Executive Producer and Director.
