Philippine Ambassador Gaa visits 2007 Exhibition, "Engraven Upon the Hearts, A Celebration of Filipino Heritage," Solo Exhibition of Rose Datoc Dall
Above, I am presenting one of my prints as a gift to His Excellency Philippine Ambassador Willy Gaa and Mrs. Gaa. This piece was featured in the 2007 Exhibition, Engraven Upon the Hearts, A Celebration of Filipino Heritage, which was an solo exhibition at the Washington, DC Temple Visitors Center, comprised of mixed media and embossed intaglio prints based inspired by the testimonies of Filipino Latter-day Saints which I had collected from all over the world. Thus a crew and I pulled together a historical display of the history of the LDS Church in the Philippines, as well as displaying the collection of testimonies. In addition, we produced a film documentary to accompany the exhibition. The Ambassador and his wife were invited by the International Affairs & Public Affairs Office of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to a private tour of the exhibition and dinner.
