Cheers also to the intense and engaging performances by Elemento, Ugong, Blend:er, Nyabinghi, Terraformer, Grnd+Cntrl, Ros Veluz as well as the video art by Mannet Villariba.

The reception to our little bookstore was really heartwarming. We felt the enthusiasm on having a local bookstore inside the gallery. It was nice that almost everyone was delighted over the design of Sonic Mind Fields’ bookshelf. Cheers!
