Ira Almeda 生於長於菲律賓馬尼拉，現於 SCAD 香港就讀繪畫藝術文學士三年級，自其 16 歲起便參與不同展覽。是次於 Opera Gallery 香港空間展出的作品 《Kawalang-tinig ng Isang Henerasyon(Lost Voices of a Generation)》正好表達 Almeda 一直以來探討的主題，包括歷史、語言、菲律賓文化及民族主義, 以及如何將歷史概念與當代藝術表達方式相結合。作品包含歸屬感與民族主義的寓意，亦是Almeda 首次在創作中運用 Baybayin 古語, 該語言是菲律賓於西班牙殖民時期前所使用的土著文字。
Born and raised in Manila, Philippines, Almeda is a third year Painting, Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) student at SCAD Hong Kong and has been exhibiting work since the age of 16. The work Kawalang-tinig ng Isang Henerasyon (Lost Voices of a Generation) will be exhibiting at Opera Gallery Hong Kong and explores many of the key themes Almeda explores in her practice including history, language, Filipino culture and nationalism and integrating historical concepts with contemporary methods of art practice. This work represents a sense of belonging and nationalism and is her first exploration of Baybayin, an indigenous script used pre-Spanish colonization.
