LIKHAAN: The UP Institute of Creative Writing joins the UP Writers Club in celebrating National Arts Month through a satellite project for the 2012 Taboan Writers Festival.  Titled Edith and Kerima: A Tribute-Exhibit on the Lives and Works of Two Icons of Philippine Literature, the project honors the memory of two great literary mothers:  National Artist for Literature Edith Tiempo, and prose stylist and editor Kerima Polotan Tuvera.

In cooperation with the National Commission on Culture and the Arts (NCCA), the Ateneo Library of Women's Writings (ALIWW), and LIKHAAN, the UP Writers Club will hold the exhibit on Tiempo and Tuvera from February 21-24, 2012 at Galeria 1 of Bulwagang Rizal in the College of Arts and Letters, UP Diliman.

The UP Writers Club officially opens the exhibit on Tuesday, February 21, at 5 PM in the Claro M. Recto Hall with a gathering of writers, artists, teachers, students, researchers, and supporters of Philippine literature.  Featuring short recollections of time spent with Tiempo and Tuvera, along with readings and performances of fiction and poetry, the program lineup includes Jose Y.
