Sigya Ph and Ludic Ph, in collaboration with the Design Center of the Philippines, marked the 12th year of Design Week Philippines this October by celebrating design and transforming Sorsogon’s creative culture into a collaborative space. Suróg: Design Week Philippines in Sorsogon brought together Artisan Workshops, Exhibits, and Design Talks in one gathering.
Held on Saturday, October 28th, the event brought the community together to showcase arts, handmade products, and services, encouraging patrons “to come and stick together #OntheEdge.” That’s what Suróg means — not just to depend on each other, but “to stick together” for a common good, making design in Sorsogon a sustainable and innovative gathering for creatives.
