There’s no clear indication of what the space used to be. Cavernous and silent, its surfaces are worn and unassuming: cement walls, exposed electrical wiring, remnants of partitions long removed. It’s a rave haven in Berlin, but it could have been a storage warehouse in Cebu. It’s an office gutted mid-renovation, an abandoned apartment, a fitness gym devoid of its patrons. Now, for a brief moment, it holds Here & Now & Now & Then, a group exhibition featuring 19 artists, curated by Nilo Ilarde.

Have you ever caught a whiff of something that transports you elsewhere? The aroma of a home-cooked meal that stirs up childhood memories, or the crisp scent of freshly laundered clothes that feels like comfort itself? The French novelist Marcel Proust famously captured this connection between scent and memory in his novel “À la recherche du temps perdu,” where a sweet treat dipped in tea evoked an entire world from the past.

What do the images we choose to share say about who we are? The world today is driven by visuals, and imagery shapes not just how we see, but how we are seen. It defines identity, preserves culture, and crafts the narratives we carry forward.

In the Philippines, where nature weaves itself into the rhythm of daily life,our landscapes are both sanctuary and story. Within our pages, the country’s natural beauties take center stage: in the foggy streets of Baguio, in the warm fields of Bukidnon, in the majestic mountaintops of Batanes.

Dining in the Philippines isn’t what it used to be, and that’s a good thing. Once considered a niche lifestyle, meat-free or pescatarian eating has found its way into the mainstream, reshaping the culinary conversation. This month’s Lenten season also invites us to pause not only in practice, but also in the way that we nourish ourselves.

Nature is a witness: to death, degradation, and violence, but also to life, growth, and resilience. Gab Mejia’s “The Forest Listens, Their Spirits Cry” is a meditation on the connections between land, spirit, and people. The series, which won the Open Category at the 2024 Objectifs Documentary Award, explores the struggles of the Filipino indigenous shamans called the Baylan, whose rituals and wisdom are at risk of disappearing alongside the forests they protect.

Influence isn’t always measured by visibility. Across industries, there are individuals whose work quietly shapes the way we engage with fashion, music, design, and business. Whether by rethinking sustainability, pushing creative boundaries, or redefining industry standards, their contributions create ripple effects, setting new standards and inspiring the next generation of innovators.

The paintings that Kim Lim showcases in her Bangkok exhibition, Teeth and Tenderness, bear little resemblance to the ones she once created as an interior designer. In her early career, delicate florals and soft abstractions complemented the commercial and residential spaces she designed. It wasn’t until the stillness of the pandemic that Lim redirected her art inward. “During the pandemic, I just started to paint for myself,” she recalls.

Before she was riffing with the Barden Bellas or swinging through the Spider-Verse, Hailee Steinfeld, like many other Los Angeles natives, was just a young girl with a dream. Since True Grit put her on Hollywood’s radar as a teen, she’s made an acting career out of sidestepping expectations, while pursuing her passion for music on the side with catchy radio hits. But as Steinfeld’s star first shone on the silver screen, it is only right to honor the roles that define her ever-evolving career.

After a three-hour drive from the noisy streets of Metro Manila, Manny Garibay’s home studio in Alfonso, Cavite, an art-filled space overlooking a nature-shrouded landscape, provided an overwhelming yet grounding sense of peace. One of the first things we learn about the artist is that he moves through his life prioritizing productivity over consumption.
