For so many decades, Philippines is known for it's rich resources in which has been developing more and more throughout the years of trying to be in line of the uprising country in Southeast Asia. During the Press Launch of The Manila Biennale, I got so amazed how our country's rapid growth in many terms such as houses, roads, transportation, and communications. But along these changes some have remain the same, when it comes to discipline in taking good care of these resources. And it's so sad to think that still many lack concern and even to the extent of forgetting what we have.
That's why this project of The Manila Biennale aims to showcase what has been forgotten for so many years . They will have awesome and somewhat incredible at the same time shows that will help to ignite the fire of Filipinos to love our own again. Because we are indeed rich in so many things like Arts, Music, fashion and other things that strengthen our culture and need just to be stir up so that there's a good legacy that we can leave in our generation today.
The Manila Biennale will have series of shows that will surely inspire Filipinos to excell more and be proud that they belong to a rich country. This is for a good cause and many supported and believe that this project is timely and perfect way to showcase what Filipinos can do and help promote our own and bring back good memories of Manila.
Manila is the center/soul of the Philippines. There you can see our history. Old churches, houses, museums, and other Philippine heritage. After this event we will surely embrace our own country and would love to be part of it's continued growth.
Catch Manila Biennale shows this coming February 2018 and bring your family and friends.
PRESS RELEASE
The Manila Biennale will be a month long art exposition set inside the walled city of Intramuros from February 3, 2018 to March 5, 2018. It will be a collaborative effort the Manila’s art community and framed by the built heritage of Old Manila.
The many gardens, plazas, museums, halls and chambers of the walled city will be transformed into artist residency studios, galleries, performance venues, lecture halls, pop up shops and cafes. The theme OPENCITY refers to Intramuros as the genesis of Manila’s culture; an homage to the walled city’s beginnings as a port for the Galleon Trade, a time when our capital opened itself up to the world and welcomed new ideas, products, and people. OPENCITY is also a tribute to Manila’s role in World War II, a vulnerable moment in December 1941 when Manila was cleared of all military presence and civilian run; a moment of freedom between two colonized periods of our history.
