Manila Biennale Open City 2018

-

Ever wanted to revisit the Walled City? Rediscover its true beauty and culture?





The Manila Biennale, the first of its kind in the Philippines, aims to transform the walled city of Intramuros into a public art exposition space. The Manila Biennale will start on February 3 until March 5. The theme for its first Biennale will be “OPEN CITY”, as an homage to Intramuros and a memorial to its city’s destruction in February 1945.

The event will be a month long art exposition set inside the walled city of Intramuros from February 3 to March 5, 2018. The theme OPEN CITY 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. It will be a tribute to Manila’s role in World War II, a vulnerable moment in December of 1941 when Manila was cleared of all military presence and civilian run, a moment of freedom between two colonized periods of our history.

It will be a collaborative effort of Manila’s arts and culture 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, performances venues, lecture halls, pop-up shops and more!

Why You Should #MakeTheUpgrade to  Oral-B 2020 has become all about self-care, and when it comes to things like haircare or skincare, we can all be incredibly meticulous and invested in choosing the best possible products that will, in turn, get us the best possible results.   However, when it comes to oral care, we can all admit we do not put nearly the same amount of effort, even though we know that improper or insufficient care leads to painful, distracting, and expensive consequences.   The reality is, just like with skincare, there are better options for toothbrushes, toothpastes, and mouthwashes that get you better results! With their innovative and technologically advanced products, Oral-B Philippines has made it their mission to provide products that Filipinos can upgrade to if they’re looking for better cleaning, whitening, or protection--and it looks like a lot of celebs think so, too!  Brand ambassadors, Bianca Gonzales, Nico Bolzico, and Kylie Verzosa, have shared their sen
