The Sketchwalk set-up: Escolta Urban Sketching Tour

Instead of considering streets merely as places where both people and vehicle pass to and from various locations, we should consider it a witness to both historical and important events that have and continuously shapes the country’s identity.

Escolta, a rich and culturally preserved street in Manila continues to be alive through a number of written and unrecorded stories but only a few people continue to value the street as part of the country’s colorful and rich history.
