Asian Arts Initiative is pleased to present our 2011 Artists Exchange exploring the theme of Home, far and near. Our Artists Exchange was started in 2002 with the original goal of supporting Asian American artists to explore or research topics and issues facing the Asian American community, and to create new work grounded and inspired by the learning exchange. As the Artists Exchange has evolved, we have also realized the importance of providing a collaborative space, especially for solo artists, and the opportunity for creative exchange.
Through two nights of riveting showcases, and an open mic feature presentation, this year's featured artists Krystal Banzon, Kennedy Kabasares, Traci Kato-Kiriyama, Soomi Kim, Katie Hae Leo, Gein Wong, and Philly favorites Makoto Hirano and Anula Shetty will investigate diverse experiences of immigration, body, family, and home, far and near.
Public Performances:
Asian Arts Initiative will feature participants’ existing work (full pieces or excerpts) on Friday November 11 and Saturday November 12. A public presentation of what is learned and created from a week of group workshops will be featured at Asian Arts Initiative’s Family Style open mic event on Friday November 18**.
$15 general admission, $12 for students; $25 for all three nights!
**Regular admission applies for Family Style
