A little History for you my dears...

inter/rap/tion all started on some lovely Sunday afternoon in 2005 between a group of Socially concerned, wacky friends & intrigued acquaintances with the vision of making a difference through the spectacular world of the Arts.

With a thesaurus, a dictionary and scrap paper in hand, Gemma, Danielle, Bianca and a few other forgotten-the-names-off-individuals (forgive me!) started throwing ideas in the air. Eventually, these words landed on our scrap paper and materialized into what we now call inter/rap/tion.

With the help of patience & humor, Gemma and Danielle were able to release the first Newsletter Issue on November of 2005 which was scattered around Metro Manila and landed on the coffee tables of the lovely I Love You Store as well as in the homes of friends and family who were gracious enough to listen to our little socially concerned, artistic butterfly of a publication.

inter/rap/tion went on a long long long hiatus for whatever reason or another, but was obviously always on the minds of its creators. Realizing that the need for a socially-cum-artistically directed publication was stronger than ever, Danielle (that's me!) approached Gemma and the ball started unraveling from there.

So, today, on a lovely Sunday Morning (coincidence much?), marks the beginning of a new reality! A reality that not only entices the mind to dig deeper, but to also feel deeper and act deeper. Jump out of that rat-racer, nihilistic or even hedonistic reality, because honestly, life is so much sweeter with just that small touch of beautiful humanity... :)
