Looking back, it’s clear that Manila once again proved why it holds a special place on the global street art map. The city, long known as a vibrant cultural crossroads, became a living canvas where local and international artists met, exchanged ideas, and brought their visions to life.
For a decade now, Manila has been one of the major hubs for Meeting of Styles in Asia. Writers and artists across the globe once again will showcase their unique styles, techniques, and practices on the surfaces of Manila city walls.
For over a decade, the Meeting of Styles has turned the streets of Manila into an open-air gallery, and this year was no exception. Walls that were once blank transformed into bold, colorful statements — each piece carrying its own story, technique, and spirit.
What made the event truly remarkable wasn’t just the stunning visuals, but the atmosphere: the energy of collaboration, the mingling of languages and styles, and the unspoken understanding between artists who share a love for their craft. It was a powerful reminder that art isn’t just something to look at — it’s something to experience, to feel, and to connect through.
In a world where cultures often collide, Manila showed how they can also blend beautifully, turning the city itself into a symbol of creative unity.
