Putting up a
local feast for the mind and soul, the Ultimate Indie Weekend in Bonifacio
Global City will bring a two-fold Independence Day celebration on June 10 – 11,
2017 with the Philippine’s first Manila
Mini Maker Faire and the 2nd BGC Arts Center Festival “BGC Loves
Local.”
To show that we
can bridge the arts and sciences, Bonifacio Art Foundation, Inc., a non-stock,
nonprofit organization, is spearheading the Manila Mini Maker Faire through The
Mind Museum to put the country on the global tech map, and the BGC Arts Center
Festival through the BGC Arts Center to feed your cultural soul.
“No township in the Philippines has ever
deliberately made pillars out of science and the arts as part of its founding
and development. And with The Mind Museum on its 5th year and the newly created
BGC Arts Center, we are even more inspired to rally this science-and-arts
bridge to help in nation-building and culture-making”, explains Maria Isabel
Garcia, Curator of The Mind Museum and Head of Content of the BGC Arts Program.
Groups of homegrown creative artists,
scientists, and engineers are expected to come together in this one rare
weekend event. “This fantastic weekend is for everyone – families, friends
- everyone curious as to how the arts
and the sciences are connected and how these fields talk to each other to serve
our lives better. This is the kind of weekend who has engineers, artists and
performers to give us fascinating technologies and uplifting performances that
could improve the quality of our days – which is the greatest form that art and
science could take,” adds Garcia.
