FICS Faculty Member Featured in International Exhibition in Rome
Dr. Shari Eunice San Pablo, a faculty member at the Faculty of Information and Communication Studies (FICS) at the University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU), was selected to participate in the 100 images. mq. mm. exhibition held at Spazio Magma in Rome, Italy, from May 28–29.

The project explored how images can circulate and connect people outside traditional art spaces. Inspired by the collaborative spirit of Group Material’s Arroz con mango, the exhibition treated all images equally. Each photo was labeled only with the contributor’s username and the location where it was taken, creating a shared collection of visual snapshots from different places and perspectives.
Dr. San Pablo’s participation shows how FICS faculty are involved in creative, community-based, and experimental art practices that go beyond the university.
