Art Bazaar 6 – 9 p.m.



Like Bono and Sting, in the tradition of music and social activism, DJ
Rekha's audiomix will close out the first night of a three day event that
features artists from five different continents who have come together in
New York to encourage all citizens to open their eyes, to express their
opinions, and to react to important social issues. A multimedia art bazaar,
*If You See Something, Say Something*, will be the backdrop for pioneer DJ
and activist Rekha Malhotra's banhgra touch.



DJ Rekha's audiomix will rock the house beginning at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, May
1st, bringing to a climax the opening reception for *If You See Something,
Say Something*. This exhibit presents a range of creative responses to the
troubling issues and anti-democratic developments that have punctuated the
first decade of the new millenium. Rekha Malhotra, nominated best DJ by New
York Magazine, selected by the New York Times Magazine as "one of the ten
women of downtown music," and named one of the most influential South Asians
in the United States by Newsweek magazine, is well known for having put
bhangra music on the map in North America. She is also an activist working
with the human rights organization Breakthrough.  Through her company,
Sangament, she organizes live concerts and provides music consulting
services to record labels, cultural institutions, media companies, and
corporations. Her next event will be her Basement Bhangra party at SOB's on
Varick Street.



*If You See Something, Say Something** *is sponsored by the Film & Media
Department's Integrated Media Arts Program at Hunter College of the City
University of New York (IMA/MFA), and EYEspeak (a graduate student
association).
