The First Sine Bahaghari

Last February, Akei's Gender and Sexuality Working Group with PinoyG4M and Pelikula Tumblr presented the first ever Sine Bahaghari in celebration of the National Arts Month -

Preno!

Ayoko munang maging pormal ngayon.

Sa totoo lang, nakakaubos ng enerhiya at nakakahagas ng ganda ang mag organize ng ganitong event. Nakakapagod, but after everything it also fills you with pride.

Hindi ko na ide-detalye ang bawat kaganapan (though you can read some notes here). At this point, I'd prefer to share what it feels like to be part of a project like this.

I've heard of the term sociocultural responsibility before, but it's only now that I'm really grasping what it means. Only after this project did I realize that one doesn't need to perform acts on a grandiose scale to make a difference - to fill a gap in society.

Heto ang isang maliit na proyekto na ginawa namin sa abot ng aming makakaya. Sine Bahaghari is but our small contribution to the National Arts Month - a small detail of a bigger picture. Small but integral, I'd like to believe.

Nahagas man ang ganda ko, napagod man ang katawang lupa ko, tumaba naman ang puso ko.
