2Talk Creative Convergence will open in Sambalikhaan on February 27, 3:00 to 6:00 in the afternoon with BULL SESSION, a round table talk facilitated by Eileen Legaspi Ramirez, to discuss aesthetics of globalization with visiting artists from Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, Canada and other countries and participating local artists from Manila and other regions.

All projects will feature various local and foreign artists and will be open to the public from February 27-29 at 3:00 to 10:00 pm.
2Talk continues the next day, February 28 with AUTHORIZE EXTREMIST, a series of live art actions by various local and foreign artists from 3:00 to 9:00 pm curated by Racquel de Loyola.
