A Tale of Two Islands: Reporting Back from the Banda Islands | Thursday May 4, 6:30 PM
Please join me for my final program as the
2016-17 Artist-in-Residence at the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU!
"Beatrice Glow returns from Rhun, a volcanic Indonesian island in the Banda Sea, to present her final public program as the A/P/A Institute Artist-in-Residence. During her residency, Glow investigated the social history of plants via spice routes and botanical expeditions, focusing on the historical relationship between two islands on opposite sites of the world: Mannahatta and Rhun. The islands, which were traded by the British and Dutch during the 17th century spice wars, are connected by both a botanical and colonial legacy. Glow shares her findings and the immersive tech experiences she is creating in collaboration with Highway 101, ETC as part of her ongoing, multi–platform project Rhunhattan." Please RSVP here.
