Published in conjunction with the exhibition POSTER/ITY: 50 Years of Art and Culture at the CCP, this book documents a selection of over 200 posters of exhibitions, performances and other events held at the Cultural Center of the Philippines from its opening in 1969 to 2019. Accompanied by a timeline of CCP’s history, POSTER/ITY gathers ephemera of what can be ascribed as a national cultural agenda, tracing the institution’s various artistic directions – from the pursuit of a modern and international Filipino aesthetic in the 70s, to a more nationalistic search for a new Filipino identity after 1986, to today’s celebration of the diversity in Filipino cultural traditions and histories.
