Watch Day at Boix House, Philippines

For one day in April 2017, the Boix House served as the point of convergence for encounters between past and present, between people of different faiths (predominantly Christian and Muslims), and between residents and visitors to the area. Watch Day served as an occasion to celebrate, and call public attention to the significance and current condition of the Boix House, along with the historic character of the surrounding neighborhood. The activities included exhibitions, an art installation, street fair, performances, and interviews, encouraged a dialogue between the residents, visitors, and preservationists about their experiences engaging with this historic area of Manila.
