alterna-APEC Exhibit Through November 19 Reception: First Friday, November 4 |
alterna-APEC presents alternative approaches to our regional economy, and creative recommendations to some of the world's most powerful leaders. To coincide with the actual APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) conference (when the region's leading businessmen and politicians will be in Honolulu to organize trade agreements, labor policies, and environmental guidelines), this exhibition and forum features art that creates a community dialog about how the APEC economy effects us and offers radical visualizations of how economic arrangements such as APEC affect us everyday. Local and internationally recognized artists and scholars will offer some explorations and possibilities for a viable ethical, culturally, and environmentally sustainable relationships in the Asia-Pacific economic community. |
