Marikit Santiago - We Eat This Bread

The title of the exhibition, We Eat This Bread, takes its name from the well-known Eucharistic Prayer which occurs at the heart of every mass: when we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim your death, O Lord, until you come again.

Within this exhibition Santiago presents a series of works that showcase the Last Supper extending the story to consider the rituals, traditions and structures that shape their cultural and social identity. 

Through painting, portraiture and installation, Santiago embraces and layers imagery from the cannon of Western art history with rich cultural symbolism that calls upon Philippine heritage, Catholicism, folklore, myth, and personal memories. (Excerpt from catalogue essay by June Miskell). 

The exhibition was developed as a solo show at Fairfield City Museum & Gallery. Santiago is represented by The Something Machine, New York

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.
