    Beinte Singko: Festival of Memories, Creation of New Stories

    Call for Entries

    A festival of memories

    A creation of new stories

    Beinte Singko seeks to mainstream human rights and remind the people

    of the horrors of Martial Law and take stock of its lessons so that those

    dark years may never happen again.

    Beinte Singko will use old photographs taken and poetry written during

    Martial Law about the peoples aspirations for freedom and combine it

    with new interpretations of the new generation to convey the message to

    the people. Stories will be told through the works of artists and activists

    who witnessed and even experienced the atrocities of martial law to

    share their stories and influence the public, especially todays youth, toalways remain vigilant. It will also be a venue for the new generation to

    give their interpretation and to express their opinions about the pressing

    issues of human rights today.

    Beinte Singko commemorates the downfall of the dictatorship by bringing back the memories

    and stories of heroism of freedom fighters, human rights defenders, activists and revolutionaries

    during that time.
