Affordable Housing Art Installation
Posted by on May 30, 2011
Asian Arts Initiative to produce installation on right to affordable housing
From June 2nd through July 2nd, Asian Arts Initiative will host artists-in-residence Michael Premo and Rachel Falcone of the Housing is a Human Right project.
The artists will create an interactive installation called The Office Of Human Rights that features over 50 photographs exploring the struggle for Home, stories-in-sound, and live remixing by DJ Spazecraft One built from stories submitted by the public.
The project invites people from a diversity of backgrounds—recent immigrants and long-time neighborhood residents who are seeking affordable housing, people moving into luxury lofts, members of the homeless community—to share their stories and their perspectives with each other. This is a chance for them to tell what home means to them and contribute, brick-by-brick, to building a collective definition of what “home” means to the people of Chinatown and beyond.
The grand opening reception takes place on Thursday, June 2nd beginning at 6pm, followed by a Town Meeting from 7:30 – 9:00pm.
