The Sainsbury Center for the Visual Arts, located inside the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England, opened in the '70s and quickly earned the reputation for being "genre-defying." He got his bachelor's degree at De La Salle University Manila, took up his masters at the University of the Philippines and in 2013, got a post-graduate scholarship to study the Philosophy of Nature in Paris with Bruno Latour, "one the trailblazing philosophers of the 21st century."
He found himself plunged even deeper into the issue of climate change when he flew back home to the Philippines in November 2013 for a holiday.had just struck Eastern Samar, killing and displacing some 7,350 people and destroying and damaging more than a million houses. It is famously the Philippines' worst typhoon on record.
Paranada continues: "I want to have a frank, honest and urgent conversation. The climate crisis is the most significant and most pervasive threat to humanity, and to sugarcoat this truth would be a disservice to the audience."
