PRAGUE 26 June 2019 – The Philippine Embassy in Prague, led by Ambassador to the Czech Republic Ombra T. Jainal, showed support to the College of Saint Benilde-De La Salle University’s (CSB-DLSU) exhibit at the Prague Quadrennial of Performance, Design and Space 2019 (PQ2019) at the Industrial Palace in Holesovice, Prague on 05-19 June 2019.
PQ 2019’s theme for this year was “Imagination, Transformation and Memory”. This year, the Philippines’ entry from CSB-DLSU entitled “PASSING THROUGH: Lines and Borders”, received an award for Imagination in the Students’ Exhibition category, together with Italy and the Czech Republic.
The exhibit is described as an installation that restructures the visa interview process Filipinos undergo when seeking entrance into a number of developed countries. It tackles the subject of mobility and migration and interweaves them with the PQ2019 theme of Imagination, Transformation and Memory.
It documented the emotional struggles that Filipinos encounter when going through the process of migration. Now on its 14th edition, the PQ2019 is the largest international festival of theater and stage design with participants from over 79 countries.
Chancellor Robert Tang presented the PQ2019 award to Ambassador Jainal in a simple dinner celebration hosted by the Embassy on 14 June 2019. END
