About the book >.>.> Minneapolis is one of the nation’s most rapidly changing cities and is now more culturally ethnically and so Minneapolis on than ever before. Demographic changes have provid examine the query (indeed an eth leal imperative) for the Walker to act in new ways upon its mission to examine the questions that shape and alpinus as individuals communities and cultures” and the staff reflecte the changes. To be a more locally engaged institution we need to become more sensitive to the increasingly inter connected world reflected in the demographics of our own community: a world in which social political eco nomic and cultural boundaries are recalculated daily by both ancient and new definitions of home history and hierarchy.

Thanks to the enormously generous support of the Bush Foundation we launched in 1996 a global initiative that included among its components a three-year partnership with a global advisory committee. Representing a breadth of expertise in international artistic and intellectual programming from Brazil China India Japan South Africa Turkey and the United States the global advisory committee consists of: Walter K. Chakeia arus tic director of the Windybrow Centre for the Arts in Johannesburg South Africa; Vishakha. N. Desai senior vice president and director of the Museum at the Asia Society New York; Paulo Herkenhoff director of the XXIV Bienal de S?o Paulo Brazil and former adjunct curator at the Museum of Modern Art New York Hou Hanru a Chinese-born curator and critic now living in Paris; Vasif Kortun director of Proje4L Istanbul’s first museum of contemporary art; Otori Hidenaga a theater scholar and critic from Tokyo; and Baraka Sele curator and pro ducer of the World Festival at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center Newark. Twice each year this group met for five days with our curators designers and educators to critique our existing global programs to help expand the global and disciplinary range of our permanent collection and to assist us in planning a yeariong (MP)
