THE EXPERIENCE

Creativity Lived: A Creative Life Encounter in Metro Manila

To spend time with an artist where they work is to see a practice in its natural surroundings. A chosen studio, home or creative space becomes the setting for conversations about the influences and preoccupations that shape a life in art. The exchange continues over dinner, with the artist deciding what parts of their world to open to guests.

THE JOURNEY

How it unfolds

Enter a creative home

Step into a private setting where someone lives alongside their creative practice. A welcome introduces the home as a lived environment, with access and photography guided by the host.

Follow the creative life

Encounter selected objects, spaces, references and stories behind the work. Through observation, an invited creative or reflective activity, and guided conversation, discover how everyday life and practice shape one another.

Share the table and reflect

Gather over food or drink, return to the questions raised by the encounter, and close with reflections from the small group. The particular stories, materials and menu vary by departure.
