City art

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority and the British Council of the Philippines have teamed up for ‘Art for Urban Change,’ a project that aims to make cities more livable and creative. Seen in these photos (clockwise from top left) are Leeroy New’s artwork at the Escolta pumping station; Nicholas Thomas, British Council Country Director and Julia Nebrija, Assistant Manager of MMDA, signing the partnership at the First United Building; Janno Aboneja, Leeroy New’s collaborator, talking about the pumping station artwork; and the works of students from six Marikina public schools on display at the ground level of First United Building for the second year of the Rivers of the World in the Philippines.
