at the UP Vargas Museum, West Wing Gallery

‘Notes for Tomorrow’ features artworks from around the world brought together in 2020 to reflect on a new global reality ushered in by the COVID-19 pandemic. Coming out of a moment where collective crisis had to be managed through collective care, Independent Curators International (ICI) turned to 30 curators from 25 countries to consider the issues that have come to the fore in the pandemic’s aftermath, asking each of them to share one artwork that they believe is vital to be seen today.

The UP Vargas Museum hosts the exhibition’s first iteration in Southeast Asia, opening on 16 December 2025, bringing together works across various geographies, narratives, and disciplines that stray from the colonial canon. The selected artists present works that question monumentality and seek the wisdom of localities. In this necessary moment of cultural transition, each work acts as a source of inspiration from the recent past toward new futures. Rather than proposing a single path forward, the artworks in Notes for Tomorrow present a network of overlapping solutions.
