What is Cubao X?
Artists have banded together and occupied stalls at the Marikina Shoe Expo, a row of wooden ramshackle buildings located at the periphery of the main shopping areas of Cubao. The artists have transformed some spaces into curio shops, art galleries, post production facilities, workshop space, alternative bookstore, specialty furniture shop, collectors’ shops creating pockets of “indie spaces” between the shoe displays.
