Welcome to Streetprint Manila

Streetprint Manila is a research project that is part of a larger research endeavour called “Six Continents and Between”. Initiated by Prof. Gary Kelly of the University of Alberta, 6CAB seeks to investigate popular print culture across various geographical, sociocultural, and ethnolinguistic contexts. More specifically, it aims to look at reading patterns and preferences of the Filipino Everyman, or those whom we would largely consider members of the “masa” class.

Life Around The Metro

A sidewalk stall that sells tabloids and snacks along Claro M. Recto Avenue, an important commercial artery in north central Manila. There are numerous universities and schools along Recto, which has created a thriving market for school-related businesses, as seen in the stacks of used textbooks for sale in the background.
