Quezon City Biennial
Quezon City Biennial
The Quezon City Biennial (QCB) is an artist-run, city-wide exhibition and arts festival — celebrating the spirit of QC as a uniting force for people, art, and ideas.
For two months, August 8 - October 10, 2025, Quezon City becomes an open, living gallery featuring Filipino artistry and creative conscientiousness.
ILALIM/IBABAW
Inspired by the endeared bus route along EDSA, Metro Manila’s major artery, QCB’s thematic framework ILALIM/IBABAW (translated as “BELOW/ABOVE”) represents two opposite yet interconnected layers of urban experience.
Whether passing “above” or “below”, each commute symbolizes the passage of people, ideas, and culture navigating through the overlapping traffic of Quezon City’s diverse social and cultural spaces.

Ang Pumatay Ka Ngunit Ang Uhaw Na Kagubatan Ng Walang Katapusang Pag-itim Ng Tagak, Walang Bango Kastilyong Taga Sa Langis At Bughaw, Ang Langit Na Bakal Hayop Nagbabagang Lupa Ng Dagat, Ang Minsan Nagalit Sa Haba Ng Gabi Saang Darating Kang Nakaw Na Tubig, Lumuhod Ka Kapag Pinulot Ka Ibulong Iyong Dangal
