Attention bibliophiles! You might be tired of the urban noise and demands at work and you can’t seem to remember the last time you sat down and read a book. For some people, making time for this kind of recreation becomes a luxury because time can’t seem to slow down for a little reading leisure.
That’s why this Saturday, Bellas Artes Projects, a non-profit arts foundation, will be having its book swap and sale at the Bellas Artes Outpost, Makati. This activity will be free and open to the public from 2 p.m until 4:30 p.m.
For those who want to join in the book swap, you should bring one to two books to exchange with fellow book lovers. There will also be a collection of books ranging from architecture, design, photography to artist monographs and assorted periodicals that you can scan but will be available for reading only.
Also, if you want to add more books to your reading list, several book shops will be present at the book swap such as Books from Underground, Artbooks.ph, Kwago, and BookPanes.
A human archive performance by Judy Freya Sibayan, an open-mic performance by Ang Sabi Nila, and a poetry workshop will also be seen in the event.
For more information, visit Bellas Artes Projects on their website and Facebook page.
