Events

Events held annually have become platforms of campus tradition and artistic collaborations, working on themes that resonate with the times. Annual events spearheaded by OICA are the UP Diliman Arts and Culture Festival, UP Foundation Day, and Pag-iilaw. OICA has also proactively developed its own initiatives and events for the benefit of the UPD Community and its environs.

OICA participates in other institutional events such as the annual Linggo ng Parangal as a member of an overall Adhoc Committee. As a sub-committee, OICA is usually assigned to special programs and/or site design.

These various events become opportunities for many art activities to flourish in the form of concerts, commissioned new music, experimental dance choreographies, creative programs, site-specific art installations, exhibits, performance art, among others. Moreover, these events provide opportunities for collaborations between artists and as training ground for artist-students of UPD.

OICA also supports events organized by the various units and student organizations that contribute to the arts and cultural landscape of UP Diliman. These activities include many kinds of art and culture-based projects, workshops, conferences, public lectures, and seminars. These events are in conjunction with OICAโ€™s mandate to develop venues on campus, including the possible activation of heritage spaces as sites of performances. With the shift to online learning, events have also utilized virtual spaces as a viable space for linking the UP community during the pandemic.
