SUMMARY:Music with Slant: Lucky FM 2
DESCRIPTION:Slant returns to The Club to dig deeper and wider into the liminal space between past and present with Lucky FM 2. Through the underground radio’s telethon portal….Slant journeys through AANHPI histories with bamboo flutes\, drums\, and guitars telling stories of the Japanese-American concentration camps\, the International Hotel\, Vincent Chin\, and today. Performed viscerally through music\, dance\, and humor\, Slant finds unity amidst chaos in a celebration of community. \nSlant is the trio ensemble of Rick Ebihara\, Wayland Quintero\, and Perry Yung. In 1995\, Slant premiered Big Dicks\, Asian Men followed by other works through the 2000s that featured farcical themes punctuated by outlandish and poignant moments that audiences flocked to see at La MaMa and across the USA.

SUMMARY:Geopolitics\, Identity\, and the Fight for Civil Rights
DESCRIPTION:The third webinar in this series examines the downstream effects of U.S. foreign policy through both a historical and contemporary lens. Drawing parallels across time\, the conversation will explore how periods of international strain have influenced domestic policies and legal interpretations—from immigration restrictions to citizenship rights—and how these dynamics continue to evolve today. \nThe session will explore how narratives of rivalry and suspicion can translate into real-world consequences for communities with heritage ties to countries at the center of geopolitical tension. We will discuss the tradeoffs policymakers face and provide a nuanced understanding of how national priorities intersect with civil liberties.

SUMMARY:Labor\, Cultural Work\, and More Ways to Organize the City
DESCRIPTION:This conversation draws crucial connections between cultural work and labor organizing in working-class communities across New York City. Bringing together organizers\, artists\, and community members\, the event traces how struggles over labor and land are deeply intertwined—from tenants organizing against evictions in Chinatown to campaigns resisting casino development in Flushing\, and movements to decriminalize sex work—we ask: are there other ways to organize the city? What forms of solidarity are necessary to build communities rooted in care? By placing past and present organizing in dialogue\, this program invites us to consider what forms of organizing are needed in this moment\, and how we build toward more sustainable futures for Chinatown residents and all working-class communities. \nWhether you’ve been part of W.O.W. since the beginning or are just getting to know the work\, we welcome you to join us for an evening of reflection\, celebration\, and community.

SUMMARY:Community Safety\, Carceral Design\, and Dreaming Otherwise
DESCRIPTION:Building on years of organizing\, this conversation brings together artists\, organizers\, and community members to examine the impact of the Borough-Based Jail Plan (BBJP) in New York City\, with a focus on the skyscraper jail being constructed in Chinatown. Situating the project within a broader landscape of mass incarceration and displacement—from the police takeover of Park Row to the expanding carceral reach in Chinatown—we ask: what does community safety mean and who gets to define it? In place of a jail\, what else could be here? \nThe program explores the role of artists and cultural workers in the aestheticization of carceral systems through design\, and how art can obscure the violence of incarceration even as it can also serve as a tool of resistance. We invite participants to reflect on what it means to refuse participation in carceral design and to imagine alternative futures grounded in care\, collective well-being\, and worlds beyond punishment.
