About Round 32
Round 32: eco, xiang, echo: meditations on the african, andean & asian diasporas is on view through June 20, 2010. Curated by artist William Cordova, this series of installations brings together a multigenerational group of artists from various backgrounds and geographic locations to present work that addresses the often-overlooked connections between distinct cultures.These connections range from paralleling historical narratives to fantastical freedom dreamscapes.

This project is a platform for a continued dialogue around the notions of collective consciousness in the Diasporas represented in this exhibition. Round 32 features installations by Crystal Campbell, Albert Chong, Coco Fusco, Marina Gutierrez, Ayana Jackson, Minette Mangahas, Glexis Novoa and Mendi and Keith Obadike.
