Vogue Philippines,
Sai Versailles’ work traverses the fields of art and journalism.
As a multi-genre selector under the name Versailles, her chameleonic approach takes references from literature and cinema. Master Selector, her Refuge Worldwide residency in Berlin since 2021, is influenced by jazz, rap, and dub history, while her taste as a DJ began in the 2000s with German trance and Balearic beat.
In the Manila club circuit, Versailles' sets shuffle through densely layered repetitions of a tough and swinging sound that is informed by her cross-generational understanding of dance music.
As an independent multimedia journalist, Sai Versailles’ reporting investigates the sociopolitical dynamics of creativity, exploring the everyday lives of people and their communities. Rooted in a decade-long archival practice, she explores the multitude of ways people understand culture – such as in Cultural Learnings, a radio show and newsletter project.
Sai Versailles is a grassroots organizer who has participated in lectures, and panel discussions on issues of art, culture, and creativity throughout Europe and Asia. She is also a volunteer for Manila Community Radio.
She earned an MPhil in international development from the University of Oxford in 2019.
