2019  Urban Tribes I-Urban Caravan

Place: TAAC Tribeca/ E.Tay/R Gallery , 39 White Street, NYC

Date: 2019-2020

Urban Caravan
The phenomenon of migrants forming an international cross-cultural “urban tribe” is one of the urgent topics in the 21st century. Analyzed historically in the context of the planet and symbiosis, this involves the survival of human beings and maintenance of balance among various living things. The discourse thus moves to valuing human nature, preservation of multiple cultures, the environment, and the new multi-faceted unity. Potential political, economic, and cultural crises can only be averted by an emphasis on the diversity of life that promotes interactive relationships.
