SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: Avani Patel: Connection
DESCRIPTION:Connection is a solo exhibition by Avani Patel\, presented at Evercore’s New York City offices. \nExcerpt from Patel’s artist statement: \n“Art has been an integral part of my life since I was young. I used to go to the theater with my sister for her rehearsals and dance shows. Seeing the colorful costumes\, flowing dresses and festivity of these moments made me feel joyful; I felt as though the colors were speaking to me…I often draw and paint things that I see in my everyday surroundings\, personal experiences\, and memories. I use mark-making and repetition as tools to signify change in nature\, the passage of time\, and the retention and rejection of memory. My work often takes the form of visual studies and drawings that I work on for months as a time. This process helps me understand colors and patterns\, which then allows me to transfer my ideas to large-scale paintings and public projects.” \nFor inquiries\, please email info@cueartfoundation.org.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: In Our Corner: Exchanges in the Asian American Art Movements and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Who is in our corner when we need help?\nWho do we call on when we are down?\nWho backs us up when we are cornered?\nIn Our Corner: Exchanges in the Asian American Art Movements and Beyond explores the personal and professional support that artists of Asian descent received during and after the Asian American Art Movements. This companion exhibition to Legacies: Asian American Art Movements in New York City (1969-2001) at New York University’s 80WSE Gallery\, invites five artists of the three key art collectives and organizations featured in Legacies to show alongside five non-Asian American artists who supported their work and growth over the years. These relationships range from recently made friendships to lifelong partnerships and even marriage: Kathleen Foster joins Ching Ming Cheung; Charles Luce joins Helen Oji; Howardena Pindell joins Arlan Huang; Shellyne Rodriguez joins Tomie Arai; and Arleen Schloss joins Nina Kuo. To highlight AAAC’s collection and its ongoing solidarity-building\, In Our Corner presents five works by non-Asian American artists from the collection\, Columbia Fiero\, Kitty Katz\, Donald Lipski\, Eva Mantell\, and Sepp Seitz. As the hosting institution for In Our Corner\, Think!Chinatown’s commission of Black Gotham’s Grand Rising and its inclusion in the show demonstrates the organization’s ongoing exchange and collaboration with communities of color. Through interviews and writings from the artists\, In Our Corner highlights these bonds and explores how artist collectives/organizations intersected and fostered connections. \nNovember 16\, 2024 – March 2025 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, November 16\, 2024\, 3-5PM \nThink!Chinatown’s Studio – 1 Pike Street\, New York\, NY 10002 \nPhoto Credit “Untitled” by Sepp Seitz

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: We Are Chinatown: By Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya
DESCRIPTION:Created by artist Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya during her civic practice residency with Poster House\, in partnership with Welcome to Chinatown\, and presented by Pearl River Mart\, “We Are Chinatown: A Portrait Of Our Community Rising Through Labor And Love” is an intimate offering that presents a rich and multifaceted portrait of a neighborhood continuously evolving while deeply rooted in its history and cultural heritage. At the heart of the show is a large\, dynamic tapestry — a cascading collage of images\, memories\, poetry\, and threads that stretch across the gallery space\, symbolizing the interconnectedness of Chinatown’s past\, present\, and future. Complementing this work are sculptures\, each a reflection of the neighborhood’s textures\, objects\, and symbols. Reminders of the everyday resilience that sustains Chinatown. \nThis body of work also features a public art campaign of intergenerational portraits\, capturing the diverse faces of the community that will appear around the neighborhood. These portraits were created through intimate conversations with residents in their homes\, restaurants\, and shops\, preserving their personal histories and offering a window into the neighborhood’s enduring vitality. The portraits transcend individual likenesses\, instead capturing the shared experiences\, aspirations\, and challenges that define Chinatown as a living\, breathing space. \n“Amanda’s public work moved me at the darkest times during the pandemic\,” says Pearl River Mart President Joanne Kwong. “I was driving around the city for hours\, making deliveries for online orders\, checking on employees\, and donating PPE to hospitals. Seeing her bold and colorful work around the city gave me strength and a jolt of happiness and purpose\, and for that I am so thankful. “Now to be able to exhibit her work in our gallery is a privilege and an honor. Amanda is outspoken and daring as an artist. And this show\, though a bittersweet reminder of that difficult time\, is also joyous and hopeful in its celebration of the resilience of Chinatown.”

SUMMARY:Writing the Family Story
DESCRIPTION:Your family is unique in all the world\, but how do you best tell its story? Whether you’re starting with boxes (or electronic folders) of photos\, diaries\, news clippings\, recipes\, and other mementos or whether memories themselves are your main material\, documenting a family history can be daunting. But it can be done well and meaningfully and shared with the people you love for decades to come. \nMathina Calliope\, a writer\, editor\, teacher\, and writing coach\, shares the tools and guidance you need to move from daunted through motivated and on to accomplished. \nFebruary 3  Nostalgia and Brainstorming  \nFebruary 10  Genre and Structure  \nFebruary 24  Nuts and Bolts  \nMarch 3  Impact \n Photo Credit:: Shutterstock/ New Africa

SUMMARY:Skin as Technology in Asian/America
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Tara Fickle. Presented by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. \nREGISTER \n“Skin” has multiple and fraught meanings in Asian America. Asian skin tones are ambiguous\, variously labeled as yellow\, brown\, or white-ish. Colorism and the stigma of darker skin are frequently raised as evidence of Asian anti-Blackness\, and a preference for skin whitening likewise interpreted as imitating whiteness. As scholars like Thuy Linh Nguyen Tu\, S. Heijin Lee\, and Natalia Duong have pointed out\, Asian skin is a porous site where racial\, national\, gendered\, and aesthetic meanings collide\, and where the legacies of war\, imperialism\, and neoliberalization are written on the body.  \nAlongside cosmetic surgery\, self-care and beauty trends\, skin can also be understood as a kind of technology. We can “reskin” ourselves online by choosing from a nearly endless color palette for our virtual avatars. Military technology aims at constructing body armor that is essentially a “second skin.” Pharmaceutical companies promise to create a kind of barrier that protects skin itself from the harms of life\, to\, in short\, use “bioactive” technology to reverse natural processes like aging. Scholars in this conversation will discuss the ways in which attention to skin as a technology (e.g. as virtual costume in digital spaces\, as environmental interface\, military armor\, etc.) can accordingly nuance our understandings of race\, nationality\, class\, and aesthetics in Asian/America. \nThis virtual discussion\, curated and moderated by Professor Tara Fickle (Northwestern University)\, features Professors Michelle Huang (Northwestern University)\, Miliann Kang (University of Massachusetts\, Amherst )\, and Sunny Xiang (Yale University). \nAccessibility note: This event will be hosted virtually on Zoom. A Zoom account\, internet access\, and a smartphone or computer is required. Closed captioning will be provided for all audio. If you have any access needs\, please email apa.rsvp@nyu.edu. \nTara Fickle is associate professor of Asian American Studies at Northwestern University. She is the author of The Race Card: From Gaming Technologies to Model Minorities (2019)\, and co-editor of the volume Made in Asia/America (2024)\, both of which explore material and ideological linkages between games and Asian/American racialization. Fickle’s current research projects include the racialized and gendered dimensions of global esports (competitive gaming)\, and a book and digital archive of the canonical Asian American anthology\, Aiiieeeee! (1974). \nImage: A still from the film\, Ex Machina (2014).
