With 106 delegates confirmed already, this is a great opportunity to meet an extraordinary range of people, laugh a lot, and learn about global issues and alternative conflict-resolution and social change techniques.<\/p>\n<p>pUN is fun. We hope you can participate.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">WHO: People from cultural fields and many other disciplines who want to apply their imaginations to global issues. You do NOT have to prepare anything or be an expert on the affairs of your country. We simply ask that you bring your sense of humor!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>WHY: If diplomacy and diplomats have failed to solve the world\u2019s problems, maybe we should try other techniques, and other people!<\/p>\n<p>HOW: We have located our existing delegates through the artist\u2019s and museum\u2019s personal networks; arts professional networks; and with the help of the (real) United Nations.<\/p>\n<p>WILL I BE PAID? No. But all delegates will receive a print made by the artist especially for this occasion. A buffet lunch will be served both days as well as refreshments during the sessions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">For more information about this event, please visit:<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/queensmuseum.org\/events\/pedro-reyes-peoples-united-nations-pun\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/queensmuseum.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday, November 24, 2013, 10:00 AM &#8211; 5:00 PM The Queens Museum Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens NY<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36084"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36084\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36112,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36084\/revisions\/36112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
