Hiroko Kikuchi
A performance and public artist. Originally from Tokyo, Japan. Her work explores the formative and communicative meaning of everyday activities as a mutual "language," influenced by the social environment, tradition, and aesthetics which all co-exist within confining behavioral structures. For the last 2 years, she has been working on creating a protocol to address social and cultural matters by re-structuring the concept and form of performance art.

Demarcate your own "Empowerment Zone"*

*"In December 1994, Boston was designated an Enhanced Enterprise Community (EEC) and awarded $44 million by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in loans and grants to promote economic development. The City also received $2.95 million to support human services. By 1999, the EEC created or expanded zone-based businesses; extended childcare services to 1,240 children; and provided education, information and training to 1,000 adults. In addition, 60% of the many new industrial, health care, office, retail and hotel jobs created through EEC funding went to EEC residents.

In January 1999, Boston was designated an Empowerment Zone (EZ) by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Empowerment Zone designation carries a100 million dollar award over a 10-year period. The Zone includes 57,640 residents (1990 Census), covers 5.8 square miles, and extends over sections of downtown, Chiantown, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Mission Hill, Roxbury, the Seaport District, South Boston, and the South End. The goal of the EZ is to generate economic self-sufficiency for individuals, families, and communities through job creation and human development."
