It’s that time of year again where the biggest international annual graffiti jam ‘Meeting Of Styles’ sets foot inside the Philippines. The line-up was huge and featured artists from countries all around the world such as China, United Kingdom, Japan, USA, Germany, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Italy, Vietnam, France and Korea as well as many local artists from around the Philippines. Underground Kulture had made the trip to take part, enjoy and report on this successful graffiti event.

This year the event was being held at the official sponsor ‘Task Us’ parking grounds on Aurora BLVD in Quezon City, which is a metropolis that makes up part of Metro Manila. It is a busy area with traffic moving snail paced, as expected most days in Manila where it is not uncommon for a 2-hour journey to travel just a few km.
