As part of the UST exhibit, Tutok will hold a forum on Nov. 29, with multi-awarded novelist Jun Cruz Reyes as the main speaker, with eevening activities to be led by artists Jose Tence Ruiz, Jef Carnay, and Cos Zicarelli, and award-winning poets Roberto Ofanda Umil and Angelo Suarez.

Among the artists participating in the Perspektiba are painters Antipas Delotavo, Boy Dominguez, Gene de Loyola, and Emmanuel Garibay; multimedia artist Claro Ramirez, Lyra Abueg Garcellano, Don Salubayba, Ed Manalo, Benjo Elayda, Mark Ramsel Salvatus III, and Buen Calubayan; and art groups Anting Anting and UGAT Lahi.

Perspektiba is curated by Mideo M. Cruz with Raoul Rodriguez as co-curator for exhibition and Victoria Deocampo as co-curator for live actions.
