A little over a year after it first opened, the Kwago independent book bar is set to be launched anew with a more curated book inventory, as well as new programs and partners, in an event called “Rites of Passage at the Warehouse” at Warehouse Eight in Makati City on February 9 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

“Rites of Passage” shall reveal a refurbished book bar aimed at accommodating more books and presenting a homey, minimalist aesthetic that could spark longer conversations, and create headspace for clarity and serious play.
