The bold but reverent collages Del Tolentino left behind
His sudden death in May this year left the academic and art community of Baguio bereft. Prof. Delfin L. Tolentino Jr. wasn’t just a hardworking literature teacher, he was a wit, a raconteur, an aesthete, an artist himself.Proof of this is his current, posthumous exhibition “Our Mother of Pearl” at the café of Museo Kordilyera at the University of the Philippines Baguio. The show runs until the end of the month as part of the university’s celebration of Buwan ng Wika.
