In her journey to find her life’s purpose, Marika Callangan found art, and art helped her find her voice and her calling. In this inspiring talk, she shares how creating art gave her the courage to pursue an advocacy that aims to encourage, engage and empower other women, as well as those who have yet to find their own voice.


Marika Callangan is the founder of Woman, Create, a local arts platform that aims to engage and empower women through art, creativity and open discourse on relevant women-related issues such as body positivity, domestic violence, breast cancer, and reproductive health. She is also the creator of 365 Wonders, a creative planner that encourages creative productivity and self-empowerment in everyday life.

Recently, she spearheaded a creative collage art school called School of Collage and has channeled creativity by holding Art Immersions as a means to connect and raise awareness for children in need.

On the side, Marika designs for local events and brands and continues to practice the medium of Collage Art.
