Multimedia Arts students of Mapúa's School of Media Studies (SMS), who took up Portfolio Preparation and Exhibit Design (MA132P) course for the first term of Academic Year 2021-2022, unveiled their virtual exhibit entitled “Reverie of Id: Amplified Imagination” last October 8 to 10, 2021 through Artsteps. 

Reverie of Id featured artworks with a narrative of manifesting pent-up feelings and thoughts, their revelation of Sigmund Freud’s Id. Following the 1920’s Art Deco style, the group showed a semblance of a post-pandemic era that had the same yearning of the current generation unable to freely experience life to its fullest. “The least we can do for ourselves is to acknowledge the feelings and emotions that we have, and to release these pent-up expressions in a way that is productive and cathartic” shared the exhibit’s head organizer, Justin Gage Faraon.

Dean Benigno Agapito Jr. of Mapúa University’s School of Media Studies (SMS) was given the Exemplar Digital Educator Award in the 2018 YAEEHADEMIC Awards held at the UP Cine Adarna, UP Diliman last August 11. 

“Learning is not confined within the four walls of the classroom. It can be achieved even outside through digital media,” said Dean Agapito. Dean Agapito’s ongoing campaign, the “‘Sang Minutong Salaysay,” is a testament to his feat wherein media studies students are required to create a minute-long narrative video depicting the struggles, culture, and other relevant issues in the present Philippine setting. Videos created by the students are uploaded on the school’s Facebook page to impart lessons to and spark creativity in its online viewers.
