For immigrant communities, informed by the experience of relocation and tied to a constant, if subconscious, searching and uncertainty about what is home - the country of birth or America - the meaning of home is further entangled, particularly in the context of a political climate in which immigrants are often viewed with suspicion and fear. This July and August 2006, eight artists will explore the concept of home, and belonging, at a new Kearny Street Workshop exhibition. For Kearny Street Workshop (KSW) itself, a 34-year old arts organization working in Asian American communities, home has been mobile, often located in non-permanent physical spaces-office spaces, galleries and venues across San Francisco-and virtual spaces-online communities and other networks. Its birth in the International Hotel in San Francisco's Chinatown, its subsequent eviction and migrant existence throughout San Francisco, and its most recent move to a new space in the Mission District, KSW's home has always been dynamic, constantly evolving and shape-shifting to adapt to changing economic, political, and social landscapes, while still building a permanent sense of Home for our communities. This exhibit will invite viewers to consider their own understanding of home, and to consider KSW as both a home for artists and an organization in search of a home.

Founded in 1972 in San Francisco's Chinatown/Manilatown, KSW's mission is to produce and present art that enriches and empowers Asian Pacific American communities. Our vision is to achieve a more just society by connecting Asian Pacific American (APA) artists with community members to give voice to our cultural, historical, and contemporary issues. www.kearnystreet.org KSW administers its new home, space180, & KSW's new arts venue in SF's Mission District on 180 Capp Street, which KSW shares with Locus Arts (www.locusarts.org) and Tactile Pictures (www.tactilepix.com).
