The Bonifacio Art Foundation, Inc. (BAFI) and URATEX are proud to renew their partnership for another 10 years. URATEX is one of the founding partners of The Mind Museum, marking a new chapter in their shared mission to champion the arts and sciences for learners of all ages. This renewed collaboration builds on a relationship rooted in shared purpose, innovation, and a deep understanding of the power of widespread inspired learning in science, math and the arts to shape futures.
Uratex President and CEO Mrs. Natividad Cheng affirmed the new strong potential of this partnership saying “We, in Uratex, want to be able to reach as many Filipino communities as possible through the innovations that we do to improve Filipino lives. Since BAFI has music, math and science programs and projects that are so engaging, and reaching out across our country as well, this made us really think it was a natural alliance.”
BAFI Managing Director/Curator Maria Isabel Garcia expressed gratitude for the renewed partnership, expressing “URATEX does not only support in terms of resources as a partner, they remain genuinely interested in what innovations we are doing in learning across the sciences and the arts. Their team always wants to figure out with us how they can make things better. That is a dream partner you want for a mission like this. “
Uratex retains naming rights to some of The Mind Museum’s most inspiring exhibits: the Space Shell Planetarium, the centerpiece of the Universe Gallery; the Giant Orrery; and Dressed for Space. It will also hold naming rights to an upcoming math-themed exhibit/s located at The Mind Museum’s Technology Gallery.
The renewed partnership also looks to the future with exciting additions. Moving beyond the museum’s walls, it will be a Supporting Partner of a new, imaginative and futures-oriented traveling exhibition that explores how humans, environments, and shared knowledge intertwine in building better communities. Conceptualized and built by BAFI, the new traveling exhibition will bring visitors from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao into spaces that represent the stories of how we as humans can work with others and the landscape, and use shared knowledge for community building and cooperation.
Further, Uratex will be a Co-Sponsor of four (4) Mind Rover sorties across Visayas and Mindanao. The Mind Rover, a museum-on-wheels, brings hands-on science learning to up to 1,000 Filipino public school beneficiaries per sortie, nurturing a love for scientific discovery in underserved communities around the country.
Finally, Uratex will be a Supporting Partner of the Pinoy Playlist Music Festival 2025. This annual celebration showcases Filipino musical artistry across genres and generations in a vibrant mix of established and emerging musicians, cross-genre performances, expert-led conversations, artisans, and more.
Together, BAFI and Uratex move forward with a partnership that inspires wonder, supports learning, and connects communities.
The Bonifacio Art Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization that champions the sciences and the arts through The Mind Museum, the BGC Arts Center, Mind S-Cool, and the BGC Public Art program.
