In Marlon Fuentes's Bontoc Eulogy, an anonymous narrator tells of a traumatic event endured by his great-grandfather. A native of the Igorot people from the mountainous northern region of Luzon in the Philippines, he was among those exhibited to white audiences in a native village created as a spectacle for the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. Those exhibited at the time passed away without being able to leave behind any testimony of the experience. Does this, then, make testimony impossible? Is the right to testify exclusive only to those directly involved? This question is deeply relevant to our current reality, where an increasing number of people are exhibited and die without testimony amidst war?a truly horrific, contemporary fair broadcast to the entire world daily through all forms of audiovisual media.
