Fostering Communities: The Creative Hubs' Potential in the Philippines

In line with its commitment to advancing creative practices and cultural professionalism in Southeast Asia, the British Council has commissioned Ateneo Art Gallery to do an in-depth research to better understand the context, nature, and aspirations of creative hubs in the Philippines.
This video documentation accompanies the said research.
The study aims to provide an overview of the creative hubs scene and its underlying collaborative ventures in arts and innovation. Based on a similar study from 2016, a creative hub is a community or “place, that may be physical or virtual, which brings together creative people. It may also be a convener, providing space and support for networking, business development and community engagement within the creative, cultural and tech sectors.”
The research looks into varying forms of hubs --- as alternative spaces, artist-run spaces, makerspaces, innovation centres or coworking spaces. It has chosen to focus on nine hubs that represent unique models and processes in terms of operations and objectives within Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
