Curious as to how Davao looked like in the past? "The Davao We Love: An exhibit of Davao's Historical Streets & Structures" photo exhibit will take you to a trip (nostalgic, to many) to old Davao. "The Davao We Love" is a photo-narrative exhibit that features the transformation of Davao from a town to the city it has become today.
"Photographs bring people, events, and places back to lite. Here the intimate and specific memories intermingle with collective history as a generalized record of the past.
The exhibit presents the historical structures, streets, schools, seaports, institutions, maps, and ancestral houses from the last century to the present."
"The Davao We Love" photo exhibit is a collaboration between the Davao of the Past - The Memory Project, the Institute of Davao Studies of the Holy Cross of Davao College, and the La Herencia Davao Art & Events Pavilion to celebrate the 88th year of Davao City inauguration.
"The photographs that appear in the exhibit havew been previously published in the digital archives on the internet, from the photographers themselves, the social networking sites, from family albums of kind contributors and individuals, ad from generous families who share their knowledge of Davao's past. The photographs have been reshared through the Facebook page of Davao of the Past - The Memory Project."
