The Fringe Manila Festival enters the second half of its first decade, returning to fill some holes and bridge gaps in Metro Manila for its nearly 6-week-long run! Manila’s most diverse contemporary arts festival has traditionally been the springboard for intergenerational local, international artists and collectives to premiere new works.
With its artist-driven and un-curated design, the Fringe has mediated opportunities for artists and communities to gather together. It continues to encourage audiences to take a risk in supporting independent artists, as well as championing alternative and unconventional spaces as cultural centers —incubators, platforms, and stages—that develop the arts and cultivates its future.
