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:Beyond Hard Work: How to Advocate for Your Wants Without Feeling “Too Much”
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Hard Work: How to Advocate for Your Wants Without Feeling “Too Much”\nLeadership Education for Asian Pacifics (LEAP)  LEAP Connect with Nicole Cruz\, Wednesday April 16th at 12:00pm (PST)/ 3pm EST \nMany of us were raised to believe that hard work speaks for itself—but in reality\, staying silent about our contributions often keeps us overlooked and underrecognized. For many Asian Pacific Islanders\, the fear of being seen as “too much” or “too demanding” can make self-advocacy feel uncomfortable. \nIn this workshop\, we’ll unpack the cultural and systemic reasons we downplay our value and reframe self-advocacy as a skill that honors both our work and our worth. You’ll learn how to communicate your impact with confidence\, advocate for your needs without guilt\, and embrace visibility in a way that feels authentic—not performative. Through guided exercises and real-world examples\, you’ll walk away with tangible strategies to ask for what you deserve—whether it’s a raise\, leadership opportunities\, or simply more respect in your personal and professional life. \nThis workshop is tailored to the API experience but is open to all allies and community members. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLEAP Connect leadership workshops are free\, accessible to the public\, and are intended to bring a safe space to the community. Participants can walk away from the sessions with the tools and resources necessary to increase their leadership skills and inspire change. \n

Age 16+ \nChan Is Missing is a groundbreaking black-and-white film that follows two American-born Chinese cab drivers\, Jo and his nephew Steve\, as they search for Chan Hung\, a middleman who suddenly disappears with their money meant for taxi medallions. Their quest to find Chan takes them deep into San Francisco’s Chinatown\, uncovering the complexities of his life as a Chinese immigrant struggling with assimilation and identity in America. As Jo delves further into Chan’s world\, his frustration turns to empathy\, revealing the nuances of the immigrant experience. \nThis film marked the directorial debut of Wayne Wang\, an internationally recognized filmmaker known for amplifying Asian American voices through independent cinema. As one of the first feature-length films of the Asian American cinema movement\, Chan Is Missing is celebrated for its authentic portrayal of Chinatown in the early 1980s\, featuring characters that felt true to everyday life. The film won Best Experimental/Independent Film from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association in 1982 and was later selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for its cultural\, historical\, and aesthetic significance. Wang later gained further acclaim for directing Smoke(1995)\, which won multiple international awards\, including the Silver Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival. \nStarring: Woody Moy\, Marc Hayashi\, Laureen Chew \n  \nPOST-FILM CONVERSATION\nStay after the screening for a conversation between MOCA’s Curator Herb Tam and NYAFF’s Executive Director Sam Jamier\, starting at 8:20 PM.
