Mirrors of Endangered Heritage
An evening with authors of Asian Art and Culture Books

Thursday, June 29, 2006
2nd Floor Le Souffle, Rockwell Club
Rockwell Center, Makati City

Registration is at 4:30 pm. Program starts at 5:00 pm.

We invite you to participate in lively and relevant discussions on what endangers heritage sites and places in the Philippines and around Southeast Asia with highly respected authors on Asian Art and culture: Prof. Aurora-Roxas-Lim (Southeast Asian Art and Culture: Ideas, Forms and Societies); Mr. Augusto Villalon (Living Landscapes and Cultural Landmarks; World Heritage Sites of the Philippines); Prof. Ruben David Deleo (jose Maria V. Zaragoza: Architecture for God, For Man).

Listen to these authors tell stories about heritage places close to their hearts. These places have been sadly displaced, leveled or challenged by urban renewal, tourism activities, and environmental upheavals.

A great oppotunity to buy various Art and Culture books at special prices and have them signed by the authors!
