Your Super guide to Rock Ed’s ‘Rock the Riles’ | Lifestyle.INQ

OCTOBER 27, 2022

This Sunday, take the train and rock for human rights.

 

Since 2005, the volunteer artists of Rock Ed Philippines have been coming together for “Rock the Riles,” an annual celebration of human rights held every Sunday closest to International Human Rights Day (Dec. 10).

 

They turn different MRT stations into playgrounds of sorts— where they hold concerts, screen films, engage in storytelling sessions for street kids, as well as poetry and dance performances.

 

This year, over 80 artists and bands are scheduled to perform at eight simultaneous events in eight MRT stations. “These artists come out and play for free just to join the voice that says human rights must be upheld in all its forms,” says Rock Ed founder Gang Badoy.

 

Clip this schedule, call your friends, circle your favorite artists, get your MRT card and go.
