About the Event
On April 5, Filipino fashion, music, and art will come together for the launch night of SAMIN – a free multimedia exhibit presented by the UP Association of Clothing Technology Students.
SAMIN was created with the question in mind, “What is Filipino fashion?” in recognition of the lack of a definitive identity. Samin in Cebuano means, “mirror” and is also meant to be a play on the words, “sa” + “amin”. A portion of this exhibit is also dedicated to featuring submitted artworks from local artists.
The exhibit will be an intermingling of art and fashion that invites viewers to think about their perception of Filipino fashion in a contemporary context and how that reflects upon their self and society. The exhibit will feature a strong tandem between the Clothing Technology discipline’s exploration of the theme and the artists whose artworks and individual identities have been brought to the table to showcase the diverse talents found in the country.
Co-presented by Smirnoff, the launch night event will be held at Bulwagan ng Dangal in UP Diliman from 6:30 pm to 10 pm. Don’t miss out on the live performances of some of the best beat makers in the country: CRWN, No Rome, and The After-School Club Special, along with UP Diliman’s Kontra-GaPi (Kontemporaryong Gamelan Pilipino - Resident Ethnic Music and Dance Ensemble of the College of Arts and Letters).
Join us in discovering and celebrating Filipino fashion, music, and art. The exhibit will run from April 5 – April 12. Free of charge.
