“Everyone has a story. We struggle to articulate our everyday realities, both in the realms of the imagined and experienced. We grapple for words, images and sound in order to express ourselves in various languages,” said Sharon Mapa, Event Curator.
The Multimedia Arts Festival was founded in 2013 and has been run by Multimedia Arts students of Benilde with its most recent installment attracting over 5000 visitors.
