SUMMARY:Exhibition: Ed Young’s Bright Worlds
DESCRIPTION:For over 60 years\, Ed Young (1931–2023) invigorated the world of children’s books through intimate storytelling\, inventive artistry\, and potent emotionality. This first U.S. retrospective features original artwork from 15 of his most significant projects—focusing on works drawn from his personal story and Chinese folktales—alongside a selection of his sketchbooks\, family photos\, and personal effects. \nYoung achieved distinction as a beloved storyteller and illustrator who challenged younger audiences with pictorial and moral complexity. He was a towering figure in children’s literature\, reaching wide audiences while earning the field’s top honors. His retelling of the Chinese “Little Red Riding Hood\,” Lon Po Po\, introduced generations of children to Chinese folklore and won the Caldecott Medal; he also received two Caldecott Honors for earlier works. Across his career\, he garnered numerous accolades\, including multiple selections for The New York Times’ “10 Best Illustrated Children’s Books” list. \nThe exhibition traces Young’s family life in Shanghai\, where he was the fourth youngest of five children. As a teenager\, he and his brother were sent to live in Hong Kong to flee the civil war in China. He immigrated to America for college\, eventually earning an art degree from the ArtCenter School in Los Angeles\, and then moved to New York. “I set out with $20 borrowed money in my pocket to bet my life in New York City\,” he wrote. After being laid off from an advertising studio\, he submitted sketches to children’s book publisher Ursula Nordstrom\, who hired him to illustrate The Mean Mouse and Other Mean Stories (1962)\, launching a career that would span over 100 books. \nHis most memorable projects were deeply personal. Ed Young’s Bright Worlds guides viewers through key moments of his life and oeuvre with original artwork from The House Baba Built (2011)\, about his childhood in Japan-occupied Shanghai; Voices of the Heart (1997)\, exploring Chinese culture through the relationship between writing\, image and his lifelong tai chi practice; My Mei Mei (2006)\, on adopting his daughters; and Bright World (2024)\, a book published posthumously in China\, meditating on the cyclical nature of life. \n“So many of us grew up on Ed Young’s art and storytelling\,” said Herb Tam\, MOCA’s Chief Curator. “This exhibition will reveal what went into crafting masterworks of the children’s book form. Visitors will be enchanted by his fluent handling of media—from pastel and cut paper to pen\, ink\, and collage—and inspired by his story as a resourceful immigrant striving to make his mark in a creative field.” \n“As a father of three\, I’ve seen firsthand how children’s books shape the way we see the world\,” said Michael Lee\, MOCA’s President. “The imagery and storytelling stay with us—they become part of our family conversations\, our imaginations\, and even the way we share stories later in life. It’s a special honor to explore the life and mind of Ed Young\, whose work has inspired generations. Through this exhibition\, we not only celebrate his extraordinary achievements but also revisit how deeply his art was shaped by his journey as a Chinese American—reflecting his early life in China and the graceful balance he found as a lifelong practitioner of tai chi.” \nEd Young’s Bright Worlds is part of MOCA’s Luminaries for America250\, a yearlong celebration of Chinese American historymakers at the Semiquincentennial.

SUMMARY:The AI Strategy Lab for Social Justice Advocates: Critical analysis and grounded decision making for our collective future
DESCRIPTION:AI Strategy Lab for Social Justice Advocates is a live\, online learning series designed for change agents who want to understand AI with more groundedness\, clarity\, and rigor. We are here to slow down the panic and give you a clear place to process the complexity. Across four live sessions\, we will move beyond hype\, panic\, and abstract concern to building a solid foundation for understanding what AI is\, how it works\, and how to make sense of the range of opportunities and harms that exist. We will examine concrete case studies\, practice making complex decisions around AI usage\, intervention\, and accountability\, and restore agency by creating practical options beyond all-or-nothing. You will leave with better questions\, immediately useful tools\, and more confidence to participate in shaping our future. \nAI systems are already being embedded into schools\, workplaces\, media\, and everyday decision-making at a speed and scale we simply cannot ignore. \nThis series is an invitation to locate yourself in the struggle. \nYour expertise already matters. This course will help you understand where and how to use it. \n✅ CLASS 1. AI Fundamentals: Current technical and ethical landscape       June 4\n✅ ​CLASS 2. The Dual Edge of AI: When opportunity meets systemic harm  June 11\n​✅ CLASS 3. Grounded Decision Making: Choices beyond all or nothing      June 18\n​✅ CLASS 4. Collective Courage: Building sustainable conditions                 June 25 \nYou will leave with a set of tools\, frameworks\, and principles necessary to evaluate AI’s impacts (both good and bad) and make grounded decisions. \nThe program isn’t about learning “how to use AI\,” but rather locating ourselves in the broader context of AI and building the capacity to ask *better* questions and make honest choices for ourselves\, our workplaces\, and communities. \nCritical analysis and grounded decision making for our collective future. \nFor justice-oriented leaders\, advocates\, organizers\, educators\, funders\, nonprofit professionals\, HR/DEI practitioners\, policymakers\, and change makers who want to understand AI with more clarity\, rigor\, and courage. \nMichelle MiJung Kim is an award-winning author\, speaker\, entrepreneur\, and lifelong social justice activist whose work sits at the intersection of personal transformation and systemic change. She is the founder and CEO of The Courage Studio\, a strategy lab and practice ground for collective courage.

SUMMARY:Performance – The Table
DESCRIPTION:The Table is a new work of performance that explores insatiability\, grief\, and the body within larger systems. Through immersive\, visceral meditations and a fever dream-like performance language—combining movement\, puppetry\, and everyday objects—the work opens liminal\, shifting worlds where anything can become a portal. Rooted in Pink Fang’s legacy of socially engaged\, interdisciplinary performance\, the work centers collective experience\, relational exchange\, and the body as a site of inquiry. Both poetic and unsettling\, it examines the forces that drive desire and dissatisfaction\, asking a central question: What is enough?

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: Shared Lines: Asian American Stories on Route 66
DESCRIPTION:Route 66 might be the U.S.’s most famous highway. Traversing the country from Santa Monica\, CA to Chicago\, IL\, it’s been immortalized in songs\, books\, and movies. But along that iconic highway are stories that are far lesser known. \nWith a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, illustrator Sammy Yuen set out on a roadtrip to capture those stories. This exhibition — coinciding with Route 66’s 100th anniversary this fall — brings some of them to life. \nLike the stone guardian lions that appeared out of nowhere in Amboy\, CA\, a former ghost town purchased by Japanese American restaurateur and preservationist\, Albert Okura. The water towers in Kingman\, AZ that once supported operations of the railroad built by Chinese laborers. The Chinese American Museum of Chicago\, housed in an erstwhile tofu factory donated by Chinese immigrant and grocery magnate Raymond Lee. \n“This whole journey started with my first exhibition at Pearl River Mart\,” says Sammy. “Showing my new exhibition there brings it back\, full circle. I also like the idea of exploring Asian American communities outside of New York City’s Chinatowns. Beyond Manhattan and Flushing. Sometimes it’s just a strip mall or restaurants spread out in an area. But the stories of the people are often the same.” \nJoin us for the opening reception on June 6. Attendance is free but registration is appreciated. \n\nOn view June 6 through Sept. 27 in the Pearl River Mart gallery at 452 Broadway\nFree and open to the public every day from 11 AM to 7 PM\nLearn more in our interview with Sammy\n\nSpecial thanks to the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, who provided curation for this exhibition. \nThis exhibition is dedicated to Sammy’s father\, Sammy Yuen\, Sr. (1935 to 2026)\, for his unwavering support of the people he loved. \nAbout the Artist\nSammy Yuen is an artist\, illustrator\, designer\, writer\, and martial arts instructor. He is the recipient of multiple grants\, including awards from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, and the Asian American Arts Alliance. His work has been exhibited at Pearl River Mart\, the Chinese American Museum of Chicago\, and Google Arts & Culture. He is currently developing a multi-generational picture book inspired by his family’s martial arts legacy. \nWith over 20 years of experience in the publishing industry\, he has created book covers — including more than 35 New York Times bestsellers — as well as marketing and advertising materials\, animated videos\, and social media assets. Across all of his work\, his goal is to tell stories that engage audiences and spark conversation.

DESCRIPTION:Join Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC for our Defend & Empower: Birthright Citizenship on Wednesday\, June 10\, 2026 at 3pm ET (12 PT). \nAs the Supreme Court considers Barbara v. Trump\, this webinar will break down what’s at stake for birthright citizenship\, explain Trump’s executive order and its potential impacts\, discuss possible outcomes of the case\, and share what communities can do next. \nEarlier this year\, Advancing Justice | AAJC and fellow immigrant advocacy organizations filed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to reject the executive order restricting birthright citizenship\, arguing that the order is unconstitutional and would cause widespread harm to immigrant families and communities. Our brief drew on the arguments of our client\, OCA-Asian Pacific American Advocates (OCA)\, and experts in our own separate case challenging the Executive Order\, which we filed in 2025 and is awaiting the SCOTUS decision in Barbara. \nThis webinar will feature speakers from AAJC’s litigation and community engagement teams\, alongside Thu Nguyen\, Executive Director of OCA\, who will help participants better understand: \n\nThe content of Trump’s Executive Order on birthright citizenship\nWho could be affected if the order is upheld by SCOTUS\nPotential scenarios following the Court’s decision\nHow advocates and community members can stay engaged\n\n

He has also taught at The Cooper Union\, Syracuse University\, and The New School/Parsons School of Design. He has been a lecturer\, panelist\, or guest critic at many U.S. and overseas institutions. He is Chair of the Board of the American Academy in Rome\, where he was a resident in 2010\, and is President Emeritus of the Architectural League of New York\, where he continues to serve as a director. \n \nThrough the Tsao Family Foundation\, Mr. Tsao has recently effected major endowments for both the Harvard GSD and the American Academy in Rome. For the GSD\, he established the Real Estate Practicum as the new capstone requirement of the GSD’s Master in Real Estate (MRE) curriculum. The practicum\, which each student fulfills with a private\, public\, or non-profit real estate organization\, updates the paradigm for the MRE degree in that it advances a more holistic and contemporary approach to projects by which real estate development professionals can help to shape a more sustainable\, inclusive\, and vibrant future for their communities. For the American Academy in Rome\, he established three new scholarly programs. \n \nThe Tsao Family Rome Prize supports scholarship that illuminates the philosophical and existential ideas and questions that link eastern and western cultures\, drawing on the experience of Rome as a crossroads. These ideas and questions animate the world around us and are evident in art\, architecture\, design\, literature\, and even the writing and interpretation of history itself. Collectively\, the work emanating from this fellowship aims to encourage our world’s many societies and cultures to develop cooperatively and to strengthen the foundation of a more humane and mutually supportive global community. \n \nThe Tsao Family Residency supports distinguished Asian artists in a two month stay to create art or conduct research in the Academy’s library and archives. Tsao Family and Harvard University Graduate School of Design Affiliated Fellowship at the American Academy in Rome servers as a bridge by bringing the finest architects and designers at the GSD to the Academy to promote a critical engagement between the two institutions in the areas of architecture\, urban design\, or landscape design. \n \n▦ Moderator and Chair of the Committee of 100 Conversations ProgramPeter Young \nCEO\, Young & Partners \nCommittee of 100 Member\, New York Regional Chair and Board Member \nPeter Young is CEO of Young & Partners\, a boutique corporate strategy and investment banking firm focused on the life science and chemical industries.

SUMMARY:Unlearning Patterns & Reclaiming Choice Self Awareness Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A workshop for south asian minds\, an evening the stories we inherited\, the patterns we carry\, and the selves we’re reclaiming\n\n\nMany of us grew up learning to be everything for everyone — the good daughter\, the high achiever\, the one who never complained. We absorbed patterns\, beliefs\, and expectations that were never ours to begin with. And somewhere along the way\, we lost the thread back to ourselves. \nThis evening is an invitation to find it again. \nJoin licensed therapists Shruthi Nair\, LMHC-D\, LPC (Bold Brown Therapy) and Dr. Jyothsna Bhat\, Psy.D. (Bhat Psychological Services LLC) for an intimate evening of reflection\, honest conversation\, and practical mindfulness skills — held in the warm\, welcoming space of Chai Spot in downtown Manhattan. \nWhat to expect: Over two hours together\, we’ll slow down\, look inward\, and explore the cultural and family patterns that quietly shape how we move through the world. You’ll leave with real tools\, a clearer sense of yourself\, and — we hope — a few new people in your corner. \nThe evening includes guided reflection exercises\, facilitated group discussion\, introduction to practical mindfulness techniques\, and plenty of time to connect with a community of people who just get it — over unlimited chai and snacks. \nThis evening is for you if you… \n\nFeel caught between cultural expectations and who you actually want to be\nCarry stress\, guilt\, or people-pleasing patterns you’re ready to examine\nWant a safe\, culturally grounded space to explore your inner world\nAre craving real connection with other South Asians on a similar path\n\nSpace is intentionally limited to keep the evening intimate and meaningful. \n🎟 Secure your spot for $20 — includes unlimited chai & snacks. \nNote: Bring a notebook or something to write on
