Leica Akademie: City Stories - Marikina & Its Shoe Heritage
Step into the stories behind Marikina’s iconic shoe industry.
Be part of a heritage photowalk with homegrown visual artists Raymund John Adan (.adan) and Rome Del Rosario () , as we explore the streets, workshops, and communities that have shaped Marikina’s identity as the Shoe Capital of the Philippines.
Through our cameras, we’ll get closer to the people and processes behind the craft from the hands that make the shoes to the livelihoods and everyday stories that keep this heritage alive.
