CALL FOR PROPOSALS—UP Diliman Arts and Culture Festival 2027

Posted on September 8, 2026 - 5:00 PM.

“Atin ang Kinabukasan”

In recent years, the existential challenges brought about by climate change and the expansion of the use of technology in our everyday life have intensified, compelling us to think about what the future might be for the diverse members of our community, our sense of humanity, our understanding of ecology.

Members of the UP Diliman community are invited to participate in the Festival through activities, projects, and events that demonstrate in artistic, imaginative, or unconventional ways, by imagining happy, peaceful, safe, and just futures through reflexive and critical engagement with our epistemic and moral moorings, with the understanding that caring for the world and all its inhabitants is a responsibility and legacy shared by all.
