Creative Mythmaking with Kiam Marcelo Junio (2-3PM)

Many people think of creativity only in the arts but each person is the author, composer, dancer, and director of their own story. In this workshop, Kiam will share different creation myths within the Philippine diaspora and guide us in connecting to our innate creativity and intuition to explore our unique personal narratives.
