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:The New Rap Language: How Musicians Continue to Transform the Spoken Word
DESCRIPTION:Groundbreaking musicians Audry Funk\, Bartika Eam Rai\, and Felukah sit down with renowned journalist Jessica Lipksy to discuss using their native and adopted languages to shape their unique styles\, and how their artistry speaks to issues important to them. \nThe discussion will be followed by short performances from each artist demonstrating their special techniques. \nJessica Lipsky is an award-winning journalist and managing editor at the Recording Academy. When she’s not collecting records to DJ\, she writes about them for the New York Times\, the Los Angeles Times\, NPR\, the Washington Post\, Columbia Journalism Review\, Wax Poetics and elsewhere. Her book\, It Ain’t Retro\, a biography of Daptone Records and the revival soul scene\, was largely researched and written at New York’s library systems. \n  \nKnown as Audry Funk\, Audry Bustos Díaz is a singer – songwriter\, MC\, and activist born in Puebla\, Mexico who is considered as one of the most important exponents of Hip-Hop in Spanish. Residing in the Bronx\, New York\, she has an international presence in the independent music industry for twenty years. During this time\, her powerful message has reached different high-profile venues\, while also giving talks about philosophy\, feminism and migration at forums around the world. \n  \nBartika Eam Rai is a New York based singer-songwriter\, celebrated for her poetry-like lyrics\, haunting vocal and authenticity. Rai was born and raised in Kathmandu\, but it was only after moving to the US that she decided to experiment her prose as music\, in an attempt to express the displacement that consumed her\, intensified by the tangible realization of leaving home. She recognizes her medium being intertwined with her longing for home and perennial identity crisis of existing as a Nepali in a non-Nepali world\, which is why all her recorded music is intentionally created in Nepali\, her mother-tongue. Her albums have received rave reviews and she has been the recipient of Nepal’s national music awards. Bartika is currently working on her first book\, tiny excerpts of which\, was written inside the New York Public Library! \n  \nFelukah is an Egyptian rapper\, singer\, poet and activist. Seamlessly blending her Arabic culture into Western sounds\, Felukah is dubbed the ‘Arabfuturist songstress\,’ or the artist paving the way for a ‘new wave of Arab women.’ Felukah’s music and revolutionary character has garnered the attention of thousands in the Middle East as well as the Western world\, landing her opportunities with the FIFA World Cup\, Harvard University\, the Brooklyn Museum\, Boiler Room TV\, and more. Felukah’s new collaboration with Ash\, “On My Mind” showcases her versatility as a pop artist\, rapping and singing over a dance beat and staying true to her conscious lyrics about empowerment\, life and romance.
