International and Local Designers, Artists Share Ideas at the Tropical Futures Forum

Joining the Tropical Futures Forum today, September 13, 2019, at The Company Cebu are World-class artists from Singapore, Tokyo, New York, Manila and Cebu. The speakers include Motoki Koitabashi, Dan Matutina, Mikiharu Yabe. Dang Sering, Erik Tuban, Hannah Martinez Florendo, Roxy Navarro. Myka Amado, Chad Manzo, Felix Ng, Kari Lucente, and Coji Katsuyama.

The Forum aims to generate more local initiatives to promote the use of creativity and design to help sustainable communities.  For Chris Fuusner, co-founder of the Tropical Futures Forum, the goal is to challenge and inspire local artists and designers to take risks, do meaningful activities, collaborate, and help their community.

“We’ve invited some creatives that have been doing influential and impactful work across countries or in their neighborhoods, working with brands that help communities, or starting their own non-profit organizations,” said Mark Deutsch, Happy Garage organizer and Forum speaker.

With DTI’s help, organizers are planning to make The Tropical Futures Forum an annual event, which is a big step towards making Cebu as the creative capital of the Philippines.
