Pink Shorts joins Manila Biennale
The Short+Sweet International, in partnership with the Australian Embassy, joins the Manila Biennale, to launch the first-ever Pink Shorts Manila on February 24-25, 2018 at the Teatrillo in Casa Manila, Intramuros. The Short+Sweet International is known for featuring each piece of performance artwork in a span of 10 minutes or less. Pink Short Manila is the LGBT component of Short+Sweet that aims to deliver a selection of contemporary stories of LGBTQI struggles and aspirations, while providing an additional platform for artists to showcase their talents.
Short+Sweet Founder Mark Cleary, alongside with Pink Shorts Manila Executive Producer Quincy Raya, MD., has appointed Rhadem Camlian Morados to be this edition’s Festival Director. According to Morados, “As an advocate of LGBT rights from Mindanao, this is a monumental effort in benefit to our long cause, and that is to provide a platform for the untold stories of LGBT struggles and aspirations.”
The program will start at 7:30 p.m., besides presenting 6 short plays and 6 short films, Pink Shorts Manila will also feature performances and art exhibitions of local LGBT artists who are known for their craft. In addition, there will also be a party hosted by Jungle Circuit Party to close the two-day festival right in the heart of Intramuros.
