Abstract
This chapter brings attention to the “archival turn” in the Manila creative scene in recent years. It argues that the popularity of “archive, archivist, archiving” among exhibitors, whether in conversations or in actual projects, could possibly be enabled by the current social atmosphere. The chapter begins with the exhibit series that celebrates the contributions of Jose Maceda, a National Artist for Music in the Philippines. As a form of reflection, the paper uses this series to define the exhibiting archive and identify the issues of this type of presentation.

Notes
- 1.
This study excludes exhibits in 2015 and 2016. I started my postgraduate study in 2015 and underwent extended medical treatment in 2016. These two conditions prevented me from continuing my professional practice. Hence, I do not feel comfortable discussing works that came out in the referred years.
