With Leilani Montes (Guatemalan-Mexican) and Ninotchka Rosca (Filipina) as curators, the multi-layered art show ARRIVALS/DEPARTURES: Women’s Experience of Migration Under Globalization brings together the aesthetics and community engagement of eleven visual artists, one performance artist, one filmmaker and one writer in an unprecedented trans-ethnic event.

Twelve of the participating artists are:

• Ana Bravo (Mexican) http://anabravo.com/
• Ann Kwak (Korean/Hawaiian)
• Athena Magcase-Lopez (Filipina) http://www.athenasantosmagcaselopez.com/

• Miatta Kawinzi (Kenyan/Liberian) http://www.bit.ly/hZYO9W
• Mona Lunot (Filipina)

ARRIVALS/DEPARTURES conveys the message that migration is not simply a legal, labor, procedural or policy issue; it is a life-changing experience for the im/migrants and their children.

The artists are backed in this endeavor by the multi-ethnic members of AF3IRM NY/NJ and the show is co-sponsored by Zero Capital and other groups.

The show will be on view until March 31st, Monday through Friday, from 1 to 5pm.
