It was an annual gathering of seasoned, budding and foreign
researchers and scholars. DLSU University Research and Coordinating office
convened its faculty, students and researcher-scholars to partake a two to
three day cerebral exercise. The highlight of the first was a keynote speech by
a novel woman scientist in line with the international women’s month. After
which I participated during the graduate school colloquium where I presented a
paper regarding cultures of sustainability and multidisciplinary
theory-criticism. I took the chance to make transversal lines between
ecological crises, anarchism and cultural production. Although not all of the
attendees were fully satisfied, the moderator welcomed the topic and pointed
out , the vibrant collectives and autonomous groups I made mention were
significant content-generators and practitioners of transmedia. I only made
mention of the info shop from NCR, Cavite, Bikol, Marinduque Davao, but focused
more on the common roots of Organic Minds and Maharlika Integral Emergence. The
second day, I came deliberately as a participant only, an observer, waiting for
an opportune time to invite others in the Project Bakawan arts fest which was
already taking place at UP Diliman and an upcoming Translocal Conference in
Corregidor about Philippine Studies. Luckily, I cam across some participants
form the recently concluded 8th DLSU Arts Congress and convinced
them to turn on their respective abstracts if not come at UP Diliman for the
Bakawan Fest.
