| The Manipur Field Trip for American Artists was an international arts exchange program. Its 70+ events were designed as a cultural immersion for American artists and arts producers in the society and culture of Manipur. The Field Trip came about as an umbrella project for the basic research needs of several American media initiatives in this isolated and little-known region of the world. The Field Trip was conceived of and organized by L. Somi Roy, a media arts curator based in New York City. It sought to provide: - a look at Manipuri culture in situ; - a focus on the riches not the shortcomings of Manipur; - an artist-to-artist series of peer interactions; - a look at aspects of American culture. |
