The UP Diliman Arts and Culture Festival 2025 takes stock of the experiences, achievements, and struggles of the UP Diliman community after 75 years of settling in Diliman, Quezon City, and looks to the future toward building a campus community that is ready to engage with the existential threats to human communities, especially climate change, the extreme wealth gap, and various forms of social injustice.
With the theme Kalahok sa Nagbabagong Kalikasan, this year’s festival highlights the active involvement of UP Diliman in imagining (and realizing) a campus community that is attuned to the stresses from our current ecological arrangements and is committed to building spaces, structures and practices that manifest sustainability, equity, and justice. Guided by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal of Sustainable Cities and Communities, UP Diliman is envisioned to take the lead in modeling a green, safe, and inclusive learning and living space for its public within and beyond the campus.

Call for Project Proposals!
Members of the UP community are invited to participate in the Festival through projects, events, or activities that present in creative and thoughtful ways critical perspectives on practices, discourses and normative ideals that contribute to and reproduce conditions of precarity for our environment and our communities. They can also reflect on how such knowledge can serve as the foundation for policies and actions that are appropriate, practical, and accessible, and thus made to be attainable for all.
Proponents are encouraged to find supplementary funding sources for projects that exceed P200,000.00. Project proposals that are fully supported with external funding can also be submitted for inclusion in the omnibus program and calendar of activities.
For inquiries, contact us at specialprojects_oica.upd@up.edu.ph or UPD local 2660.
