Welcome Back Ye Annunaki is a showcase of works answering the question How would you host an ancient alien? The artists in the exhibition responded to an international call for proposals inspired by Zecharia Sitchin’s Earth Chronicles,
a book detailing how the human species originated from
extra-terrestrial beings. These distant relatives are scheduled to
return to the earth in December 2012.
Participating artists have proposed a variety of convivial
acts to welcome Annunaki families from the planet Nibiru upon their
return visit to earth after a 3,600 year orbit. The projects take a
variety of forms, from an intergalactic calling card, to a bed away from
home, collegial gestures of kindness that reveal the customs that we
embrace as human citizens of earth.
Welcome Back Ye Annunaki provides a constructive take on Sitchin’s mythology, one of the many associated with the year 2012.
