Dennis John F. Sumaylo is a faculty member of the BA Communication and Media Arts program under the Department of Humanities, University of the Philippines Mindanao. He finished his PhD in Communication Studies at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. His research interest is in disaster risk communication with focus on engaging communities living in spatial isolation experiencing socio-economic inequalities. He believes that resiliency in facing natural calamities should not be limited to those who have access to information. By examining experiences of isolated communities, he hopes to design multimodal learning tools that can be used for pre-disaster communication efforts and building community resiliency. His interest extends into photography and auditory art. His last participatory multi-sensorial exhibition explored the use of images, sound, and other cues to recreate the emotions experienced in the streets of Davao City, Philippines. He hoped that these cues will trigger people’s sense of storytelling, even their street behaviour, in an enclosed art exhibition setting.
