Message from MAU
"The Perception of Truth and Beauty"
As the human species, how do we confront and transform our being? How do we create the condition to make emerge the birth of beauty and truth? How do we stand up with courage to invite it, acknowledge it, celebrate it, love it or forgive it? How do we make emerge beauty that does not lie and truth that is kind?
In the MAUForum 2009 you will meet provocative and inspirational artists, thinkers, writers, activists, heads of government and communities from across the Pacific region and around the world, as we continue to facilitate new dialogue and meaningful exchange, engaging with significant issues that affect our lives. The MAUForum celebrates these different opinions, aesthetic expressions and ways of being.
It is our hope that the MAUForum provides an open space, bridging localities, identities and boundaries with performances, ceremonies, symposia, workshops, debates and celebrations that enable a diversity of visions about the past, present and future.
