The show’s title takes off from the more festive Mexican version of our own Todos Los Santos (which is mistranslated in the vernacular as Araw ng mga Patay or as Undas).
The show will feature cast resin skulls lined up on a shelf each customized by various artists as diverse as their age, cosmological outlook and style that flesh out a philosophical point, aside from the numerous drawings, paintings, prints and other sculptural works to complement the aforementioned custom-made skulls.
Secret Fresh is open from Mondays to Saturdays from 2 to 10 p.m., and Sundays from 1 to 6 p.m.
