Through War and Peace: Life After Liberation

What does it take to rebuild a nation, and forge a lasting bond, from the ruins of war?
In partnership with the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines, Filipinas Heritage Library presents Through War and Peace: Life After Liberation, an exhibition that traces the story of postwar rebuilding and partnership, commemorating 80 years of United States – Philippines diplomatic relations. #USPH80  🇺🇸 🇵🇭
Through tactile stations drawing on archival photographs, documents, periodicals, and videos, this exhibition revisits a chapter in the country’s history that is often overlooked. It follows the formative years after the war, the birth of the Third Republic, close ties with the United States, and a nation’s recovery, from ruins to a thriving nation.
This program is a collaboration with Dr. Ricardo T. Jose as head curator, and is also presented in commemoration of the 30th year of the Filipinas Heritage Library and the 65th year of Ayala Foundation, Inc. Also supported by Manila Bulletin, Liwayway Magazine, and SPAM® #FHL30 #AFI65
