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:Author Talk: Have You Eaten Yet?

Before Anthony Bourdain’s “A Cook’s Tour”\, there was Cheuk Kwan’s\, “Chinese Restaurants.” He traveled for 4 years to unexpected places in the world of the Chinese diaspora. \nCheuk will share the stories of Chinese immigrants found in unexpected places in the world.  From the Amazon River in Brazil to Israel; to Norway\, the land of the midnight sun and one of the few Chinese restaurants within the Arctic Circle; to Cape Town’s first Chinese restaurant to the oldest one in Istanbul. Running a restaurant is the easiest path for the Chinese immigrants to integrate into a new community and get on their feet. Through the lens of food\, they shared their stories with Cheuk – stories of courage\, survival and hope. Each story is unique and at the same time\, very familiar to our own immigrant story. \nWe will also have a drawing for 3 signed books at the end of the webinar.  Winner must be present.

SUMMARY:Top Chef’s Kristen Kish in Conversation with Stacy London: Accidentally on Purpose
DESCRIPTION:The pivotal moments in Kristen Kish’s life are chronicled on her tattooed arms — arms that can barely contain the moments and now also reflect an Emmy nomination. \nKish’s unlikely trajectory — born in South Korea and adopted into a family in Michigan\, a meteoric rise in the culinary world that took her from Top Chef contestant and winner to the full-circle moment of becoming the show’s host — has been full of unexpected turns. But as she reveals in her deeply personal new memoir\, Accidentally on Purpose\, it’s in the unplanned moments that life truly takes shape. Kish joins us with stylist\, fashion designer\, author and friend Stacy London to talk about the book and the backstory of her journey in food and in life\, about coming out and finding love\, and more. And she shares the lessons she has learned along the way: there is no map\, accidents happen\, curveballs come\, be open. \n“She’s written a recipe for a life worth living: with purpose\, curiosity\, forgiveness\, luck\, and of course—what every recipe relies on—love.” ― Stacy London\, co-host Wear Whatever the F You Want on Amazon Prime
