Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Festival 

The Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Festival (the "Festival") is the longest running and most prestigious festival celebrating Asian American diversity and participation in community events.

This year, the Festival adds another neighborhood to its event network while offering one of New York's most impressive skyline views. DUMBO - Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, known for its growing artist community, will be the launch pad for the 33rd Annual Festival. Festival has spread out into two spaces this year: 1) Under Archway; and 2) Main Stage Arena. Festival space encompasses area between Anchorage Pl./Pearl St. to Water Street, and under Arch.

DUMBO is literally on the other side of the bridge from Chinatown, NYC. It is also local to downtown, Brooklyn, up the block from Brooklyn Bridge Park and Brooklyn Heights. Last year, the Brooklyn Bridge Park attracted 60,000+ visitors over a single weekend.

Festival Date: Saturday, May 12, 2012

The 2012 New Museum Triennial features thirty-four artists, artist groups, and temporary collectives-totaling over fifty participants-born between the mid-1970s and mid-1980s, many of whom have never before exhibited in the US.

"The Ungovernables," the second triennial exhibition at the New Museum, acknowledges the impossibility of fully representing a generation in formation and instead embraces the energy of that generation's urgencies. These urgencies are formal and philosophical, material and ideological. They stem from the unique experiences of this generation who came of age in the aftermath of the independence and revolutionary movements that promised to topple Western colonialism. However, these revolutions became mired in military dictatorships, the emergence of integrated world capitalism, regional and global economic crises, the rise of fundamentalism, and international interventions as well as failures to intervene. Faced with this somewhat bleak inheritance, artists in "The Ungovernables" embrace their complex relationship to history and assert a remarkable resourcefulness, pragmatism, and hopefulness in their work.
