"Pedro Reyes: The People's United Nations (pUN)"

In the mid-1940s, the building that is now the Queens Museum housed the United Nations General Assembly, a fact that inspired artist Pedro Reyes to create this experimental gathering. For two days, 195 New York immigrants, who have connections to the U.N.'s 195 member countries and observer states, will participate in theater games, group therapy and other techniques to test Reyes’s theory that social science will succeed where traditional conflict-resolution practices have not.
