“Art is one way of depicting the visual interpretation of motherhood and breastfeeding journey of mothers,” said Rudinas.
The Agusan Artists Association started the group on December 21, 2019. Since then, it has become active in creating masterpieces that portray solidarity of the local artists, whose artworks continue to capture the attention of the general public.
Frank Nicol Melgar, Public Relations Officer of SM City Butuan invites mall-goers to witness the exhibit at the second level of the mall, and support this cause.
He added that the said activity is one of the “SM Cares” programs that promote the rights and welfare of the women, lactating mothers, and their children. There is also a breastfeeding station at the third level of the mall. (JPG/NCLM/PIA-Caraga)
