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: 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:An Open Space for the Children of Asian Fathers
DESCRIPTION:Why Are You The Way That You Are? An Open Space for the Children of Asian Fathers \nHave you ever gotten into a tiff with your Asian father and thought\, much like Michael Scott once did: why are you the way that you are? Do you feel like you’ve spent decades of your life trying to make sense of the unique psychology of your Asian father to little avail? Do you just need an open\, honest\, and affirming space to reflect on the nature of Asian fathers and fatherhood from the perspective of their Asian offspring? Then this session is for you. \nJoin Nairuti\, fellow child of an Asian father\, for an hour of: \n\nprocessing our unique relationship to our Asian fathers;\nfinding solace in community for said relationships’ joys and challenges; and\nideally\, co-visioning a world in which Asian fatherhood can be something more poignant than a bowl of cut fruit.\n\nInstructor Bio: \nBorn and raised in Ahmedabad\, Gujarat\, Nairuti is a proud descendent of care workers and revolutionaries who fought for Indian independence in the early-mid 20th century. It is this very spirit that informs her work as a researcher\, educator\, and practical radical. Prior to joining the Center for Economic Democracy as the organization’s inaugural Director of Policy & Research\, Nairuti spent eight years as a movement operative supporting anchor institutions to realize their potential\, driving national narrative change campaigns\, organizing resource-holders (and holding them to account)\, accelerating community wealth building activity\, and more. Ultimately\, Nairuti dreams of a world where community is at the heart of our political\, economic\, and social systems.

SUMMARY:MOCA COOKS - Taiwanese & Taiwanese American Cuisine
DESCRIPTION:Professor Paoyi Huang to share her research on the roots and evolution of Taiwanese and Taiwanese American cuisine.\n\n\nDid you know that bubble tea originated in Taiwan? When you think of Taiwanese cuisine\, what comes to mind? In recent years\, Taiwanese food has gained widespread popularity\, with a surge of restaurants such as A-Pou’s Tastes\, 886\, Ho Foods\, Win Son\, and Wenwen\, among others. Before this wave\, long-time favorites like Taiwan Pork Chop House and Taiwan Bear House had already established themselves in Manhattan’s Chinatown. But what exactly defines Taiwanese cuisine? \nMOCA COOKS: Taiwanese and Taiwanese American Cuisine invites Professor Paoyi Huang to share her research on the roots and evolution of Taiwanese and Taiwanese American food. This program will explore the migration history of the Taiwanese people and examine how Taiwanese identity has evolved over the past few decades. We will also discuss the rise of Taiwanese restaurants in New York City and the factors driving their recent boom in popularity. Owners of Taiwanese restaurants will join us to share their stories and perspectives. \nTo enhance the experience\, participants will be treated to a selection of Taiwanese light bites\, snacks\, and beverages. \nABOUT Paoyi Huang\nPaoyi Huang is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC). Her research spans migration\, gender\, and education\, with a focus on how structural and cultural forces shape everyday experiences. Her dissertation project was an ethnographic study examining gender dynamics and ethnic tensions within cross-border marriages between Chinese women and Taiwanese men. Since joining BMCC\, her scholarship has expanded to include carework\, pedagogy\, and the experiences of community college students\, such as research on challenges they faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently\, she is excited to explore the intersection of identity\, nation branding\, and the transformation of the Taiwanese food landscape in the New York metropolitan area. \n*MOCA members are required to present their MOCA ID at check-in.
