AN ART EXHIBITION - ADDRESSING OUR ECO-CRISIS & THE ONGOING FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR DISASTER
ECOPOCA is an immersive visual art, eco-fashion, & performance art exhibit ＋ panel discussion creating a “Ku-kan,” space to experience an intersection of two alternate realities; a nuclear apocalypse, vs an advanced eco-future. A catharsis to transmute our global crisis to envision and co-create a new reality by collectively remembering & celebrating our ancestral eco-wisdom.
WHY IS ANCESTRAL ECO-WISDOM IMPORTANT?
Our global ancestors have lived in harmony with nature for thousands of years. Depending on the specific environment, cultures have cultivated unique environmental ways of life.
However, this knowledge is rapidly being lost. It is important that we collectively, globally revive our wisdom & lost technologies - share our best practices to help envision a more sustainable future.

ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE:
ECOPOCA is an arts collective of multi-ethnic Asian Pacific Islander artists. Their mission is to create a platform to collectively remember and celebrate ancestral eco-wisdom/connection to nature, while envisioning a future society where nature and urban life coexist in harmony.
THE EVENT: ECOPOCA (Ecopocalypse)
EcoPoca is a visual art, eco-fashion, and performance art exhibit that addresses environmental issues, including the ongoing Fukushima nuclear disaster, while remembering and sharing our ancestors' wisdom and connection to nature. We will be creating a “Ku-kan,” a space to experience the “in-between” - an intersection of two alternate realities possible, one of a nuclear apocalypse and one of an advanced society where nature and urban life coexist in harmony.
OUR MISSION:
Our mission is to create a platform for us to collectively remember and celebrate our ancestral eco-wisdom. We live in an era where whole communities are being displaced due to climate change and natural disasters. Our ancestors knew how to coexist peacefully with nature, and reflecting on their knowledge and wisdom can help us co-create a new reality. Art, Story-telling, and folklore are powerful tools to reflect on the turmoil our planet is experiencing, and to help us envision our collective eco-future as we gather to share. We hope to use this event to catapult revolutionary ideas for eco-collaboration. Our diversity here in the Bay Area creates a microcosm of the world, which is why we believe that our work here as a collective is necessary and impactful internationally.
