A group of street artists’ desire to propagate the culture behind street art and graffiti led to an initiative to paint walls around Metro Manila. Aptly titled Manila Takeover, the initiative not only spreads information about the culture through murals and works, but also aims to inform through content. They partnered with videographer, Gian Mawo, to produce a series of videos to document the whole initiative.

The first episode of is focused on Raisehell and her piece, BYSTANDER. She is a visual artist who works with illustration, graphic design, and more. The video  shares her story of pursuit of art and as well as the connection she has with SaGuijo – a famed underground live music bar in Guijo St., Makati City. It also includes the meaning behind her piece, a representation of the community that SaGuijo cultivated in the area and within the local creative scene.
