As promised, here is the second part of my collected highlights of ArtBGC 2016, a ten-day art festival my husband, Kayo, organised together with LA's LeBasse Projects. During that entire time, the kids and I explored, creating our own urban adventures, while hanging out and learning from some of the best contemporary street artists of our time.

And because Kayo was deeply involved in the event, busy attending to its many details, the kids and I had to uproot ourselves Read More
People Help People: A Week with Herakut

They are dynamic duo, Hera and Akut, street artists from Germany who are famous around the globe for their brilliantly poetic and astoundingly beautiful wall paintings. They came to Manila last week, August 3-11, and held an exhibit at Vinyl on Vinyl, live painting sessions at Fully Booked, BGC and talks at a couple of universities. Kayo (Thanks to his job. Check Honeycomb here) had the awesome privilege of filming them during their entire trip so Read More
