The Neubaugasse Straßenfest 2024, one of Vienna's most beloved street festivals, promises a vibrant celebration of culture, art, and community.
This year, Hiyas features an exciting addition: a pop-up store dedicated to handmade jewelry from the Philippines. This unique showcase did not only bring a touch of exotic elegance to the festival but also provided this Filipino jewelry enthusiast the platform to share her craft with a wider audience.
For the Filipino jewelry enthusiast behind Hiyas, this pop-up store was more than just a business venture—it was a deeply personal opportunity to share her passion for her culture and craft with a broader audience.
The store became a bridge between cultures, offering interested people and those just passing by a rare glimpse into the beauty and artistry of Filipino jewelry. From intricate beadwork to stunning metalwork, every piece told a story of heritage, identity, and the enduring legacy of handmade craftsmanship.
The response was somewhat positive, as visitors to the Streetfest were drawn to the unique and vibrant designs, many of which reflected the natural beauty and diverse cultural influences of the Philippines. The pop-up store not only allowed Hiyas to shine on an international stage but also fostered a deeper appreciation for the artistry and tradition that goes into each handcrafted piece. By bringing these exquisite creations to the heart of Neubaugasse, Hiyas not only enriched the festival experience but also created a lasting impression that transcended borders and celebrated the universal language of art and beauty.
See you next year!!!
