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: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.

SUMMARY:#RaceAnd DemocracyIs Series :  (Re)Imagining the Next 250 Years
DESCRIPTION:This moment of crisis offers an opportunity to reimagine democracy that is rooted in solidarity\, racial justice\, and co-governance.\n\n\n#RaceAnd Democracy: (Re)Imagining the Next 250 Years. A 5-part webinar series that maps different pathways towards defining what a racially just democracy must look be like in the next 250 years: considering repair and healing\, belonging and justice\, institutional change\, co-governance\, and solidarity. One ticket provides access to all webinars\, including recordings and materials. \n \nDemocracyIs: Repairing Place\, Rebuilding Power June 18th\, 2026 | 11-12:30 PT \nDemocracyIs: Justice & Belonging Jun 23\, 2026| 9am to 10:00am PT \nDemocracyIs: Co-Governing New Futures Jul 1\, 2026|12 to 1:30pm PT \nDemocracyIs: Global Solidarity Jul 16\, 2026| 12 to 1:30pm PT \nDemocracyIs: Cultural and Narrative Change for Multiracial Democracy Jul 30\, 2026| 12 to 1:30pm PT \nThis year’s observance of our country’s 250th Anniversary of Independence calls for us to reflect on how far our communities have come in out fight for racial justice and genuine liberation from systemic oppression. We need to have an honest reflection on the movement’s many wins for racial justice and the recent backlash against these wins. Even before our Independence\, ancestors\, freedom fighters\, and movement leaders have been working and fighting to dismantle systemically racist policies\, institutions\, and culture that have undergirded and marked this country’s founding and existence for the last 250 years. And yet today\, despite our many wins\, structural racism continues to be one of the biggest barriers in achieving our dream of a democratic country where everyone is truly free. \nIn addition\, this call for reflection is because of and against the background of the State’s increasing violent attacks on reproductive and civil rights\, migrant communities\, trans people\, and people of color. This moment in our history calls for us to come together and figure out how we can stop the country’s freefall into autocracy\, the rate of which is the fastest in the world\, that magnifies the impact of structural racism on impacted communities. \nAnd so\,starting Juneteenth\, the commemoration of the end of slavery\, Race Forward will offer a series of opportunities to engage in conversations that examine the relationship between racial justice and true American Freedom. During this time of commemoration\, Race Forward invites all of us to define what democracy is through the lens of racial justice. Only then can we forge a path towards a multiracial democracy that is truly “of the people\, by the people\, and for the people” in the next 250 years. \nStarting on Juneteenth\, Race Forward will be launching a campaign to help us define what a racially just democracy is like: DemocracyIs:(Re)Imagining the Next 250 Years \nCentral to this campaign is a webinar series: #RaceAnd Democracy: (Re)Imagining the Next 250 Years. This 5-part webinar series maps different pathways towards defining what a racially just democracy is for the next 250 years: considering repair\, belonging and justice\, institutional change\, co-governance\, and solidarity.. \nDemocracyIs: Repairing Place\, Rebuilding Power| June 18th 11-12:30 PT\nCarolyn Johnson\, Executive Director\, Black Cultural Zone (Oakland CA) \nWinta Yohannes\, Executive Director\, Albina Vision Trust (Portland OR) \nJT Flowers\, Director of Government Affairs and Communications\, Albina Vision Trust \nParticipants will gain a deeper understanding of the historical connection between the Civil Rights Movement and today’s Black-led community development initiatives\, be introduced to strategies for translating community power into community wealth\, and come away with tools for engaging their own communities\, establishing co-governance decisionmaking tables\, and deploying compelling narratives for land justice. \n \nDemocracyIs: Justice & Belonging Jun 23\, 2026| 9am to 10:00 am PT\nGlenn Harris\, President\, Race Forward \nMichael McAfee\, Chief Executive Officer\, Policy Link \njohn a. powell\, Director\, Othering and Belonging Institute \nFor the first time ever\, Race Forward is honored to bring together three of the most respected leaders in the racial justice ecosystem. In this informal conversation between colleagues and friends\, Michael McAfee (Policy Link)\,Glenn Harris (Race Forward)\, and john powell (Othering and Belonging Institute) will share their perspectives on the state of the racial justice ecosystem. Grounded in their experiences leading their organizations and shepherding their communities through the backlash against racial equity\, they will share insight and inspiration on how we can survive this moment and continue to move closer to our vision of a multiracial democracy. \nTogether\, they will reflect on the last year and a half of the second Trump administration\, where we are not simply witnessing political volatility—we are confronting a coordinated effort to consolidate power through racialized authoritarianism. Across the country\, democratic institutions are being weakened\, dissent is being criminalized\, and communities that have historically driven this nation toward a multiracial democracy are being systematically targeted and stripped of power. \nThis conversation will help attendees thread and understand the attacks on immigrants; diversity\, equity\, and inclusion; public education; reproductive freedom; trans communities; low-income and working class communities; privatization of basic needs and extraction from communities and land; stripping of voting rights and civic engagement; expansions of islamaphobia and white christian nationalism; and imperialism and war. These are not isolated culture wars- they are strategic attempts to fracture the civil rights coalition and stall the long arc of democratic transformation. \nGrounded in this analysis of the movement\, this conversation will elevate innovative ideas\, solutions\, and interventions happening across the country to fight back while continuing to lead with a clear vision of a racially just society. \nUltimately\, Glenn\, Michael\, and john will assert that Democracy in service of everyone’s thriving must center justice\, belonging\, and liberation. \n \nDemocracyIs: Co-Governing New Futures Jul 1\, 2026|12 to 1:30pm PT\nRace Forward believes that co-governance between communities and public institutions is necessary for achieving governing power for racial justice. A just multiracial democracy will never be possible if communities do not have access to governing power that influences their material conditions\, choice points\, and overall survival. In a moment when trust in government is at an all-time low due to the many harms perpetuated against our communities\, is co-governance still possible? What does it look like\, and what examples currently exist? \n \nDemocracyIs: Global Solidarity Jul 16\, 2026| 12 to 1:30pm PT\nNikko Viquiera\, Race Forward \nScot Nakagawa\, Co-Director and Co-Founder\, 22nd Century Initiative (22CI) \nBernadett Sebaly\, Central European University \nThis session will help attendees step back and look at the global picture to help contextualize our current struggles and solutions: historical and global trends related to democracy\, autocratization\, and racial justice. Field experts and organizers from the US and other countries fighting against autocracy will share insights that can inform our work of defending and rebuilding democracy. What do historical and global trends tell us about the path forward? Can we reverse the country’s rapid decline into autocracy? Where does our collective hope lie? With this session\, we hope to invite attendees to see the connections of our struggles and strategies across countries\, thereby growing seeds of global solidarity. In weaving our different analysis of autocracy\, democracy\, and white supremacy across places\, time\, and communities\, we hope to sharpen our approaches\, solutions\, and the lens that shape our strategies. \nDemocracyIs: Cultural and Narrative Change for Multiracial Democracy Jul 30\, 2026| 12 to 1:30pm PT\nNikko Viquiera \nSughey Ramirez \nAutocracy thrives on division and isolation. It is not an accident that opposition actors have taken advantage of the country’s individualist culture to create wedges between impacted communities and movements\, thus making it hard to organize for racial justice and democracy. We need a massive cultural and narrative change that will bring about solidarity against harmful systems. This conclusion of the series will also launch the Cultural Week of Action and bring together performers and artists who will help us reimagine democracy through their genius and creativity.

Are these all sanctuary\, however imperfect? \nSanctuary After Dark unfolds legacies of nightlife as sites of sanctuary\, particularly as refuge for queer communities across generations in New York City. Artists including Lola Flash\, Alice O’Malley\, and Julie Tolentino will reflect upon queer 90s nightlife and its echoes through today through different creative engagements. These will include a thread of lineage drawn between Body Hack and the Clit Club.
