AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Artist Juanli Carrión is looking for interviewees to collaborate in his
upcoming public art project "Outer Seed Shadow #01".

We are looking for immigrants who were born outside the US and that
currently are living in Manhattan.The interviews will be held till February
2014.

Over the past year Carrión has been carrying out interviews with immigrants
living across Manhattan, allowing them to tell their stories of arrival in
their own words and symbolically, in the form of plants they’ve selected
that best represent themselves and their countries of origin. With the great
variety of plants derived from dozens of interviews, the artist is creating
a 4,000 sq. ft. interactive community garden in the shape of Manhattan to be
installed in SoHo’s Duarte Square in May 2014.

Outer Seed Shadow is an art project created by the community and for the
community—a public space where all people can find themselves represented
and that reflects contemporary stories of immigration to New York City. It
is at once public art, historical document and community hub, providing a
new space in the urban landscape for recreation and sharing new knowledge.
