SUMMARY:INJUSTICE IN FOCUS: A Photo Exhibit with Raffy Lerma
DESCRIPTION:ARRAY and The Pilipino Workers Center present a powerful photo exhibit and public dialogue featuring the acclaimed work of photojournalist Raffy Lerma\, whose haunting images document the brutal realities of the Duterte administration’s “war on drugs” in the Philippines. Through photographs that confront themes of media suppression\, human rights violations\, and authoritarian violence\, the exhibit serves as both testimony and resistance.  \nThe program also includes a critical conversation on the role of journalism and art in defending truth and democracy—both in the Philippines and globally.   \nIn addition\, the exhibit will feature a cultural display centered on solidarity and hope. A dedicated section will showcase photographs inspired by the Stop the Hate movement\, highlighting the impact of race-based violence against Asian American and Pacific Islander communities in the United States. This portion of the exhibit underscores the shared struggles for justice\, collective healing\, and cross-cultural solidarity.  \nAdding a powerful visual element\, PWC’s iconic jeepney will also be on display—adorned with messages of resilience\, unity\, and hope from the community. Together\, these elements create a space for reflection\, remembrance\, and the possibility of healing across borders. \nEVENT SCHEDULE\nSATURDAY\, JUNE 7 \n\n1:00 PM | Doors open for check-in & Exhibit Pre-View\n2:00 PM | Program Begins: Presentation by Raffy Lerma\n3:00 PM | Panel Discussion: Defending Truth and Democracy\n3:45 PM | Closing Ceremony\n4:00 PM | Final Exhibit Viewing\n5:00 PM | Event Ends\n\nABOUT RAFFY\nRaffy Lerma is a freelance photojournalist and documentary photographer based in Manila\, Philippines.
