LIGHT Rail Manila Corp. (LRMC), the private operator of LRT-1, is continuously advocating the promotion of local tourism and culture through its “ikotMNL” campaign as it officially opens a pop-up exhibit on visual arts at LRT-1 Doroteo Jose Station. Featuring works by local artists who participated in the sketch walk and photo walk organized by LRMC last September 10 and 17, the LRT-1 ikotMNL pop-up exhibit 2022 showcases different interesting sites in Manila such as colonial architectures and open spaces—all within minutes’ walk from LRT-1 (www.facebook.com/officialLRT1).
The exhibit also puts a focus on LRT-1 stations, which are known for their historical significance and prominent features as uniquely Filipino architecture.
“LRT-1 has been a valuable part of people’s lives over the years. We hope that through this initiative, we can communicate our rich story and help in better appreciating our roots as Filipinos. This is also a showcase of the creativity of our local artists, and we would like LRT-1 to continue being a space where communities gather and talents are celebrated. We are thankful to have found the right partners in Urban Sketchers Quezon City and Fujifilm X-A3 Community Philippines, who made our sketch and photo walks extra special with their talents in communicating visually the beauty and history of Manila,” LRMC corporate communications and customer relations Jacqueline S. Gorospe said.
The exhibit is free and open to the public during LRT-1 operating hours from 4:30 am to 9:30 pm daily, and runs until November 5.
