In the face of silence and uncertainty, who dares to speak?

Dare to uncover realities. Dare to be fearless.

The love is here. The flames flicker near.

This week at Warmth, we bear witness to the culmination of our AHAW 15 and AHWW 30 fellows’ creations. We remember why we create and who we do it for—a passion so real it will forever run warm.

The exhibit marks distinct remnants of this sentiment, as the fellows’ works are set to change each day of the week. Day 1 welcomes you to its first set of fellows here.

Gather around these embers of Warmth from August 11 to 15 at SEC-B Foyer. View their tales, tell your own, and never forget why you love what you do.

Where do you go for warmth? 🕯️

HEIGHTS Ateneo proudly presents Warmth, a rotating culmination exhibit set alight by the works of the AHAW 15 and AHWW 30 fellows.

The core of Warmth lies in these fellows of the Artists’ and Writers’ Workshops, who tended to their works under the guidance of mentors who have shared their devotion. The exhibit stands as a testament to the unending cycle of their craft, rotating through a different set of fellows’ works each day.

Come stoke the fires of creation with us at the SEC-B Foyer this August 11 to 15, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

What lingers after love?

Maybe it’s something you didn’t expect. Or, maybe it’s the sparks that settle after the fire has gone out.

Stay a little longer as HEIGHTS prepares an exhibit that reflects on the work of artists and writers from the past year’s workshops. Stories take shape. Something stirs again.

At its core, we always return to what matters: What we hold onto and why we choose to create.

Full details coming soon.

"Nasaan ang aking salamin?" — HEY JUNE!

When art and music come together, we see a reflection of the world, and see ourselves within it too. SanDale: Sa Madali, Nadadale is more than just a collection of art—it is a creative statement of the voices of students from various universities on environmental loss. Partnered with the exhibition is Isang Sandali!, a concert held last July 18 that brought voices of advocacy to life through the local music scene.

From hollow blocks and mirrors to hardcore solos and vocals, the event is a testimony of expression as a means of protest and community. Each artwork is a glimpse of our reality, while each riff is a call for advocacy.

Have a glance at your own reflection through HEIGHTS Online and Art's review of the event: heights-ateneo.webflow.io/articles/review-on-gravity-art-spaces-sandale-exhibit-and-isang-sandali-concert

How far can a dream take you?

From public parks and classrooms to the World of Dance (WoD) stage in Los Angeles, two young dancers proved that passion, persistence, and purpose can defy the boundaries of space, resources, and expectation.

This is not just a story of movement. This is a story of making space where there once was none. Where, before they reached the stars, they danced under open skies.

In Dancing for the Stars, Sam and Kim from the Company of Ateneo Dancers (CADs) take us through their journeys as dancers from the provinces to the world stage, as grooving to the glory of one God turned motion into something far more celestial. Reach for the stars with them in HEIGHTS Ateneo’s latest feature here: heights-ateneo.webflow.io/articles/dancing-for-the-stars

“I write symphonies that are then translated into compositions, but I, too, lose the words to articulate what I do, what I think, and what I feel. And still, I carry on.”

In his desire to accomplish the many tasks he has on his plate, Jules Aranjuez adds one more in the form of a personal reflection on a constant struggle he believes people also experience, discussing salient points that have led him to still carry on.

It’s easy to lose sight of what’s worth holding onto.

Yet in all that slipping away, the digital release of HEIGHTS’ 70th Anniversary Folio arrives, carrying a collection of literary and artistic work that stands as both a mirror and an offering. It traces the cyclical, often obscured paths of history and identity in motion, and holds space for all the questions we’ve long been circling: What do we remember? What do we forget? And, what does it mean to stay present in the middle of it all?

Seventy years in, the folio asks not just what now, but how? How do we move through this moment? How do we make sense of it? In a time shaped by dissonance and doubt, we turn to the voices that continue to witness, to name, and to try—despite it all.
