Cian Dayrit: Liberties Were Taken
Curated by PJ Gubatina Policarpio

Exhibition Dates: January 22 – April 5, 2025

Root Division is proud to present Liberties Were Taken, the first solo exhibition in the Bay Area of Philippine-based artist Cian Dayrit. Known globally for artworks rooted in activism and a thorough study of history, Dayrit investigates notions of power and identity as represented and reproduced in monuments, museums, and maps. His work unravels the layering of complex power structures, oppressive systems, and the legacies of colonialism that continue to dominate Philippine society. The exhibition brings together embroidered textiles, elaborate paintings, and multimedia works created over a decade of participatory actions and solidarity work with landless farmers, Indigenous, and marginalized groups in the Philippines and around the world. Deploying visual tools, such as text, maps, and symbols, the artist positions land as a site of struggle through historical references, protest imagery, and grassroots counter-cartography.
