SUMMARY:Theater: Dragoness and Art Exhibit: Misalignment
DESCRIPTION:A high-octane\, satirical commentary on race and creating art under capitalism\, Dragoness interrogates the ethics of reinventing identity in order to satisfy the expectations of those in power. \nWritten by Thai-American playwright Cha Mangan and directed by Samantha Toy Ozeas. Starring Vi To\, Bridget Gao\, Balfour Clark\, and Aaron Applebey. Produced by Tin Can Contingency. To learn more about the project and artists involved: https://givebutter.com/dragoness \nPerformances run May 28th-June 7th\, Thursdays-Sundays\, 7pm at Inspiration Point. Tickets are $15. \nPerformances of Dragoness will be accompanied by a visual art exhibition entitled Misalignment. Misalignment invites artists to respond to paradoxes\, splits\, and contradictions. They are interested in identity as paradox\, in life as contradiction\, and in practices that honor the multitudes within and the multiple realities that serve us both for expression and for protection. Work featured confronts internalized oppression\, betrayal—of language\, land\, lineage—and the uneasy desire to pass\, belong\, or ascend.

SUMMARY:Busy\, Busy Towns: Moving Images of a Changing Asia
DESCRIPTION:This selection of works from the Asia Society Museum Collection explore how rapidly evolving cultural\, political\, and ecological issues have shaped urban landscapes across contemporary Asia\, and in particular China\, Indonesia\, and Taiwan. The exhibition presents seven works featuring the artists Song Dong\, Chen Shaoxiong\, Tromarama\, and Chen Chieh-jen. The innovative range of styles implemented to produce these moving images—through stop-motion animation of woodcuts\, ink painting\, or embroidery—among other methods\, speaks to the creative depth and diversity of the region. The artists explore the dynamic energy of cities\, whether fueled by consumerism and gentrification or by collapsing industries and environmental degradation. Actively reflecting on the regeneration of cityscapes and the subsequent impact on urban lives\, these works initiate a renewed dialogue with the current exhibition\, (Re)Generations: Rina Bannerjee\, Bryon Kim\, and Howardena Pindell amid the Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd Collection.

SUMMARY:A Legacy Continued: Recent Acquisitions to the Asia Society Museum Collection
DESCRIPTION:A Legacy Continued features recent acquisitions received from Sandra Ferry Rockefeller and Hope Aldrich in honor of their parents\, John D. Rockefeller 3rd and Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller. These gifts were originally part of Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller’s personal collection\, and this display celebrates their homecoming. These pieces complement other works within the museum collection\, some of which are included in this exhibition. Together\, they offer greater opportunities for comparative studies among them. \nTwo Chola bronze statues of Hindu deities from Hope Aldrich—a Shiva and a Satyabhama—add to the already magnificent group of Indian Chola bronzes in the collection. From Sandra Ferry\, two lovely gilt bronze Chinese Buddhist statues augment the museum’s existing Chinese Buddhist sculptures\, while the addition of three Thai works furthers the collection’s strength in Southeast Asian sculpture. See Selected Works in the Exhibition to preview some of these important gifts.

SUMMARY:Art Exihibition – In Transit\, In Formation (Opening Reception)
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together four artists—Kakyoung Lee\, Buhm Hong\, Hong Seon Jang\, and Sun You—whose practices unfold between movement and becoming. Transit functions as a condition of passage through time\, labor\, and cultural frameworks\, while formation describes processes through which forms and identities take shape without closure. Working across sculpture\, installation\, animation\, and video\, the artists operate within these open-ended conditions\, occupying a dual state: always en route\, and at the same time\, becoming something else. \nThese four artists share more than a generational proximity. Based in New York and shaped by contemporary Korean diasporic conditions\, they have remained in ongoing dialogue for over a decade—observing one another’s practices\, exchanging questions\, and developing their work independently\, yet in close awareness of one another. The exhibition emerges from a sustained familiarity\, where distinct practices have evolved over time along parallel trajectories.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk and Exhibition: Touch Frequencies: Amy Cheng & Avani Patel
DESCRIPTION:Art Exhibit: TOUCH FREQUENCIES: Amy Cheng & Avani Patel\nFeb 7 – 28\, 2026 \nArtist Talk: Sat\, Feb 21\, 3 – 5 pm \nViewing Hours: Thursday– Saturday\, 1- 6 pm and by appointment \nPS122 Gallery is pleased to present Touch Frequencies\, an exhibition featuring two Asian- American abstract painters who use a visual vocabulary infused with patterning\, repetition\, and ornamentation. Their penchant for working this way aligns them more with Eastern and Middle Eastern art in contrast to the Greek and Roman-based Western art tradition that emphasizes the primacy of the figure in painting. Pattern\, repetition\, and ornamentation are endemic in nature — it is in fact\, how nature is structured — and are primal in their rhythmic connection to the human nervous system. \nAlthough Cheng and Patel share a love of abstraction and ornamentation\, their focus and approach diverge in meaningful ways: Cheng works at the intersection of science\, art\, and ancient philosophies to explore the mysteries of the universe at both macro and micro levels. She paints what exists but cannot be seen. She focuses on the hard question of consciousness — something people assume is generated by brains — yet current science is discovering that  consciousness may be fundamental\, part of the fabric of the universe\, that allows access by all\nliving beings\, whether microbial\, vegetal\, aquatic\, animal\, or human. In contrast\, Patel’s work is rooted in the human and cultural realm\, drawing from ecology\, memory\, and the sensory joy of color and material. Rooted in memories of her parents’ garden in India and the U.S.\, her work explores belonging amid urban change and how materials embody emotion\, history\, and renewal. By merging personal memory with ecological and cultural imagery\, she honors the interdependence of nature and culture to inspire viewers to see and interpret the world anew. By merging personal memory with ecological and cultural imagery\, she creates spaces for pause\, tenderness\, and reconnection. \nARTISTS\nAmy Cheng lives and works in New York City. She was born in Taiwan\, raised in Brazil\, Oklahoma\, and Texas. She is a widely exhibited painter who maintains a parallel career in public art. Her paintings and works on paper are held in a number of corporate and public collections including the Hyde Collection\, Glens Falls\, NY\, Sheraton Hotels\, Brussels\, Belgium\, Florida- Atlantic University\, Boca Raton\, FL\, Novartis Pharmaceuticals\, Philadelphia\, PA\, New York University Langone Medical Center\, New York\, NY\, and Hewlett-Packard\, San Francisco\, CA. She has completed a dozen permanent commissions fabricated in mosaic\, glass\, ceramic\, terrazzo and more. These include projects at the Seattle-Tacoma Int’l Airport\, WA\, the Howard St. El Station\, Chicago\, IL\, the 25 th Avenue Subway Station\, Brooklyn\, NY\, and Western State Hospital\, Lakewood\, WA. She has received two New York Foundation for the Arts Painting Fellowships\, a\nSenior Research/Lecture Fulbright to USP\, São Paulo\, Brazil\, and a Fulbright Teaching Fellowship at Renmin University\, Beijing\, China. She is a Professor Emerita of the Art Department at the State University of New York at New Paltz. \nwww.amychengstudio.com\n@amycheng.studio \nAvani Patel\, born in Mumbai\, India in 1976\, immigrated with her family to Pennsylvania at the age of eleven. She holds a BA from Pennsylvania State University and an MFA from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University. Patel’s paintings have been exhibited widely across the United States and internationally. From 2003 to 2006\, her work was shown at the American Embassy’s ambassador residence in Panama\, where she also led community workshops and collaborative installations. In 2005\, she was invited to the White House by Laura Bush and Colin Powell in recognition of her participation in the U.S. Department of State’s Art in Embassies program. Patel has contributed to significant public art initiatives\, including America’s Chinatown Voices in New York City and a public art project in Lillestrøm\, Norway. Her work has been reviewed and featured in Hyperallergic\, Artnet\, and The Woven Tale Press\, and is held in private and corporate collections in the United States and abroad. In 2025\, she was selected for the ArtBridge and CAMBA Affordable Housing public art project in Brooklyn. Patel lives and works in Brooklyn\, New York. \nhttps://www.avanirpatel.com                                                                                                                              @unique_avani

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: The Red Envelope Show
DESCRIPTION:In its 11th year\, the Red Envelope Show features artists from across the country and their interpretations of that integral Lunar New Year tradition\, the red envelope. Albert Chau\, the show’s curator\, hands out the same envelope to the artists (about 100 this year) but all are encouraged to create their own vision. Some celebrate the artists’ personal loves\, such as cats\, favorite foods\, and space exploration\, but most center on this year’s Chinese zodiac animal\, the horse.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Transtrack
DESCRIPTION:Transtrack transforms the idea of a train platform into a multisensory space where the voices of elderly immigrants recount life journeys\, weaving an immersive landscape of sound\, vibration\, and oral history. The work amplifies overlooked immigrant voices—honoring those whose labor\, like the immigrants who built the transcontinental railroad\, remains absent from history. \nAlong a line of vibrating speakers\, memories ripple like passing trains. As the noise fades\, gentle voices recall landscapes that shaped their journeys. This shifting soundscape reflects the emotional terrain of immigration\, where the past is never still and stories unfold like landscapes passing a train window. Inside the space\, a waiting area invites new recordings\, connecting elders and younger generations through shared storytelling. \nBuilding on Phunsombatlert’s community centered practice and ongoing exploration of oral immigration histories gathered from local elders\, the exhibition invites participants from diverse backgrounds to share memories of landscape and migration\, fostering moments of cross-cultural connection. More than an artwork\, Transtrack is a living archive—preserving immigration memory through movement\, sound\, and presence. \nTransmitter is currently open 1–6pm on weekends and by appointment.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: The Web: The Birth and Legacy of New York’s First Asian Gay Bar
DESCRIPTION:In the early 1990s\, when racism and homophobia shadowed New York’s nightlife\, at the corner of Madison Avenue and East 58th Street\, a quiet revolution took place. The Web\, known in Chinese as 盘丝洞\, opened as New York’s first Asian gay bar\, founded by Alan Chow and his business partner Chan. For a generation of Asian queer immigrants who had long existed in the margins\, The Web offered what New York had never before given its Asian queer community: a home. \nThe Web is a space where Asian queer men could see themselves reflected\, respected\, and celebrated. This exhibition\, through archival materials\, photography\, and a project-specific interview zine\, we revisit The Web’s legacy and see how it redefined Asian queer nightlife in New York. In a time shaped by instability and uncertainty\, the act of imagining new worlds carries contemporary relevance. In that sense\, Between Worlds: the Intangible Thread is two artists expanding reality by holding open alternatives. It is through these alternatives that dialogue occurs—across practices\, across stories\, and across the ephemeral yet vivid spaces between what was\, what is\, and what might be. \n\nChinese American Arts Council / Gallery 456\n456 Broadway\, FL3\nOpening Reception: Nov 14\, 6–8 PM\nExhibition Dates: Nov 14 – Dec 5\, 2025\nGallery Hours: Mon – Fri 1 – 6 pm or by appointment

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: UNRESOLVED: A Playable Archive of Rage and Reckoning
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of this exhibition from Risa Puno.\n\n\nWhat happens to rage if you’ve been taught to suppress or ignore it? And what if you could metabolize that rage in community with others? In UNRESOLVED: A Playable Archive of Rage and Reckoning\, part of Risa Puno’s ongoing Anatomy of Rage series\, the artist invites us to engage with this complex\, often taboo\, emotion through disarmingly playful experiences that spark conversation and connection. \nTHE WHEEL OF RECKONING AND RAGE is an interactive sculpture featuring two back-to-back spinners that pose raw\, revealing questions about how we process and respond to rage. One spinner asks what goes on inside your head when someone violates your dignity\, safety\, or sense of belonging. The other side asks what actions (or inaction) you take in response. \nSpin\, discuss\, and get real. Read what others have shared. Record your reflections and connect them to responses left by others on the gallery walls\, contributing to a living archive of shared experiences and emotional truths. \nUnresolved Rage Game is a collective storytelling experience inspired by tabletop role-playing games\, like Dungeons & Dragons. But instead of battling medieval monsters\, players navigate challenges inspired by real-life instances of racist or sexist microaggressions. Originally developed with Ran Xia during Soho Rep’s 2022-2023 Writer/Director Lab\, this raw\, vulnerable\, super-cringe (yet surprisingly fun!) exploration is designed to help Asian women and femmes process and unpack our various relationships with rage. \nThroughout the exhibition\, Puno will activate the gallery with in-person playtests of the latest version of Unresolved Rage Game specifically for Asian women and femmes\, as well as workshops for all identities to get curious about rage together. To learn more or to sign up for playtesting\, please visit: https://www.risapuno.com/rage \nAbout the Artist \nRisa Puno is an interactive installation artist who takes play seriously. She translates difficult topics — like social privilege\, data privacy\, or collective caretaking — into disarmingly fun experiences to help people connect more openly with one another. \nHer work is grounded in a pre-colonial Philippine ideology called kapwa that means “shared identity” or “shared humanity.” It’s the idea that we navigate through spaces with a community rather than alone\, and that we have a responsibility to care for others as we care for ourselves.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: A Lotus Blooming in a Sea of Fire
DESCRIPTION:2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the end of the U.S. wars in Southeast Asia\, wars that caused international outcry. As wars continue across the globe—from Gaza to Ukraine\, from Syria to Ethiopia—this exhibition asks: How do we rebuild a world scarred by destruction? What can art teach us about healing and renewal? \nScars of conflict endure long after the last shot is fired. From the ashes of war\, Southeast Asian refugees have cultivated new life\, embodying the resilience of the lotus— a symbol of rebirth that blooms even in the harshest conditions. \nOpening: Fri\, Nov 7\, 6:00-8:00 pm with curator present \nGallery Times: \n\nNovember 7 – December 20\, 2025\nTues – Sat\, 11am – 6pm\nOnline starting November 7\, 2025\n\nA LOTUS BLOOMING IN A SEA OF FIRE draws on the wisdom of Southeast Asian refugees\, the largest refugee group ever settled in the U.S.\, to explore how art can foster healing. Through immersive sculptures\, textiles\, films\, and performances\, visitors are invited to reflect on their own roles in cultivating a world where war is not the end but the beginning of new possibilities. \nSoutheast Asian artists will be showcasing text-based installations displaying the adaptation of language\, immersive sculptures illustrating the environment of war\, textiles carrying forward Indigenous ecologies\, and films demonstrating creative healing modalities. \nAt its core\, A Lotus Blooming in a Sea of Fire imagines a future where communities and the planet recover and thrive\, shaped by the resilience of those who have endured unimaginable loss. The exhibition invites viewers to envision healing not only for humanity but for all living beings—human\, animal\, and ecological—impacted by war. It is both a reflection on the past and a blueprint for a future where life can flourish again. \nBy marking the 50th anniversary of the Southeast Asian wars\, this exhibition serves as both a time capsule and a vision of possibility\, where the audience is invited to witness how Southeast Asian refugee artists have transformed the remnants of war into living\, breathing art.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Niyū Yūrk: Middle Eastern and North African Lives in the City
DESCRIPTION:The first-ever exhibition at The New York Public Library to explore the history of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) immigration to NYC\, Niyū Yūrk highlights how the city has shaped the lives\, identities\, and creative practices of MENA communities\, artists\, and writers\, while celebrating their enduring contributions to the city’s cultural landscape and place in global culture. From Little Syria in Manhattan to Yemeni bodegas in Brooklyn\, from Armenian and Arab nightclubs along Eighth Avenue to community music festivals on Atlantic Avenue\, and from women’s activism and advocacy groups to experimental composers and playwrights like Halim El-Dabh and Reza Abdoh\, the exhibition shows how these rich stories are preserved within NYPL’s collections. \nNiyū Yūrk explores the often overlooked history of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) immigration to New York City\, from the first waves in the late 19th century to the present. The exhibition highlights how New York City has shaped the lives\, identities\, and creative practices of MENA communities\, artists\, and writers. It also emphasizes their enduring contributions to the city’s cultural landscape and place in global culture. \nThrough an array of materials—including local newspapers\, rare books\, archival documents\, prints\, artists’ books\, photographs\, music records\, and film—the exhibition showcases how these voices have been preserved and presented. Niyū Yūrk creates a dynamic dialogue across time\, illustrating the evolving nature of MENA migration to the city as well as the Library’s role in documenting this history. While reflecting on new directions in collecting practices\, it also aims to address gaps in those practices and envision a more inclusive archival future. \nThis exhibition is organized by The New York Public Library and curated by Hiba Abid\, Curator for Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: From Letters to Words to Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Building Collective Language with Radical Characters and Pararailing\n\n\nOn October 10th at 6:30 pm\, AAAinA will feature presentations and a discussion with arts collectives Radical Characters and Pararailing. Founding members of each group will share recent and upcoming projects as well as the origins and ethos of their platforms. Presentations will follow a loose framework of thinking through larger themes via connection points between letters\, characters\, words\, and dialogue. Following the presentations\, participants will join together for a conversation to discuss independent publishing\, creative translation(s)\, cross cultural dialogue and more. The panel will be moderated by designer\, publisher\, and educator\, Scarlett Meng. \nBios: \nRadical Characters is an educational and curatorial platform dedicated to exploring speculative connections between design and culture within and beyond the Chinese and Chinese American communities. Founded by Mary Y. Yang and Zhongkai Li in 2021\, the collective focuses on graphic design\, typography\, and culture through 汉字 Hanzi (Chinese characters). Each project is informed by a Chinese character and extends into the forms of exhibitions\, publications\, lectures\, and workshops. Yang is an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at Boston University and Li is a Visiting Professor at Pratt Institute. Their current exhibition\, Tone in Tongue\, explores East Asian visual culture through the lens of graphic design\, typography\, and independent publishing\, tracing how shared histories and distinct\, aesthetic identities continue to resonate in contemporary design. \nPararailing was founded by three artists—Jie Shao\, Sixing Xu\, and Snow Xuecan Ye—in 2020. It existed as an artist-run space in Shanghai from 2020 to 2021\, where they organized exhibitions and the 14-day artist residency series “Guerrilla War.” Their ongoing project Railing Codex\, which started in 2022\, is a collectively written dictionary that redefines nothing more ordinary—and yet utterly unknowable—than words. Initially launched as an online project\, it has expanded into other forms over the past few years\, including installation\, community printshop\, workshop\, and most recently\, an artists’ book in the form of a slanted dictionary published by Page Bureau\, with design by RELATED DEPARTMENT. \nPara- comes from ancient Greek and means “alongside\, beyond; altered; contrary; irregular\, abnormal.” Railing\, according to Wikipedia\, is in general\, a boundary feature. \nScarlett Meng is a designer\, publisher\, and educator working between New York and Shanghai. She founded RELATED DEPARTMENT in 2017 and Page Bureau in 2018\, with a research focus on the shifting contexts of digital landscape and post-colonialism for design practice and criticism. Scarlett has received recognition from Tokyo TDC\, Core77 Design Awards\, TDC New York\, Shannon Michael Cane Award\, Paris Photo-Aperture PhotoBook Awards\, and has exhibited and lectured internationally at numerous art and academic institutions. Scarlett teaches at Parsons School of Design as Adjunct Faculty and at SIVA as Adjunct Associate Professor\, and has served as guest critic at University of Pennsylvania\, The University of Hong Kong\, and Boston University. \nLight refreshments will be provided. \nAAAinA’s general programming and operations are funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts\, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council\, the Vilcek Foundation\, and other foundations and individuals.

Kreplach and pierogi in the East Village. Xiao long bao in Flushing. Manti in Sheepshead Bay. Unsettled in the movement of peoples and cuisines is whose palate determines quality\, and whose tongue sings history. How does taste evolve in a multicultural society? Can we keep native words and ways\, even as we relish the language of the times? Who plays host\, who guest\, and who gets a seat at the table? \nThis program is inspired by Speak Sing Shout: We\, Too\, Sing America (2025) by Pakistani American artist Sarah K. Khan. The piece\, eight blue and white porcelain serving vessels featuring images of spices\, delicate flowers\, and incense as depicted in the 16th-century Sultanate period recipe book The Book of Delights\, is commissioned by IAJS and will be on view at BRIC in Brooklyn from October 7 to December 23\, 2025. \nSCHEDULE \n\n6:30pm ET – Doors open\n6:30-7:15pm ET – Check in and art viewing\n7:15-8:05pm ET – Panel conversation (in-person & livestreamed)\n8:10-8:30pm ET – Artist performance (in-person & livestreamed)\n8:30-9:30pm ET – Reception\n\nFEATURED SPEAKERS \n\nBrian Lowery\nSarah K.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit Opening: Talkin’ Bout a Revolution: Pyaari Azaadi
DESCRIPTION:Talkin’ Bout a Revolution: Pyaari Azaadi\nSeptember 25th – December 13th\, 2025 \nTalkin’ Bout a Revolution is a solo exhibition spotlighting the work of Pyaari Azaadi\, formerly known as Jaishri Abichandani. Taking its title from Tracy Chapman’s iconic 1988 song\, the exhibition reflects Azaadi’s lifelong commitment to art\, activism\, and community. Known for her fearless approach to materials and form\, Azaadi is an acclaimed painter and sculptor who continually embraces a multidisciplinary practice that challenges dominant narratives and centers feminist and decolonial perspectives. \nIn this exhibit\, Azaadi’s work explores and celebrates feminist\, queer\, racialized\, and en-casted bodies\, specifically through the lens of South Asian identity and with social justice playing a key role. This groundbreaking exhibit\, Talkin’ Bout a Revolution\, is an opportunity to amplify the bold voices of anti-caste activists and South Asian feminists. A special set of paintings also feature Dalit\, Bahujan\, and Adivasi leaders. \nThis exhibit is so meaningful to our communities because it challenges dominant narratives in South Asia by centering feminist\, decolonial\, debrahminised perspectives. Azaadi seamlessly intertwines her art with activism as well as BIPOC/feminist/queer/DBA identities\, and\, now more than ever\, we need to see this type of representation. \nA fully illustrated exhibition catalogue will accompany the show\, featuring essays by prominent voices offering a range of perspectives on Azaadi’s work and its impact across disciplines including: lawrence-minh bùi davis\, (curator of Asian Pacific American Studies at the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center)\, Yashica Dutt (is a leading anti-caste expert\, journalist and the award-winning author of the non-fiction memoir Coming Out as Dalit)\, Mona Eltahawy\, (an award-winning writer focusing on Arab and Muslim issues and global feminism whose works have appeared in various publications including The Washington Post\, The New York Times)\, Carmen Hermo (Lorraine and Alan Bressler Curator of Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston)\, Pamela Sneed\, (poet\, performer\, visual artist\, and educator)\, Hrag Vartanian (arts writer\, curator\, and editor-in-chief and co-founder of Hyperallergic)\, and Anuradha Vikram (writer\, curator\, and educator. Vikram is the author of Decolonizing Culture and has written for art periodicals and publications from Paper Monument\, Heyday Press\, Routledge\, and Oxford University Press). \nPyaari Azaadi (she/her; b. 1969\, Bombay\, India) immigrated to the US in 1984. She received her MFA from Goldsmiths College\, University of London. Pyaari has continued to intertwine studio and social practice\, art and activism\, creating transformative work with Queer\, BIPoC communities in New York for three decades. She founded the South Asian Women’s Creative Collective (SAWCC) in New York (1997) and London (2004). She is a recipient of the Huntington Arts Council Fellowship and a grant from New York Foundation for the Arts. Azaadi has exhibited internationally including a critically acclaimed solo exhibition\, Flower Headed Children at the Craft Contemporary Museum in Los Angeles in 2022. Group exhibitions include P.S.1/MoMA\, the Queens Museum of Art\, and Asia Society in New York\, 798 Beijing Biennial and Guangzhou Triennial in China\, the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo\, IVAM in Valencia\, Spain\, and the House of World Cultures in Berlin\, Germany. \nTalkin’ Bout a Revolution: Pyaari Azaadi

SUMMARY:Exhibit: hapa.me: 25 Years of the Hapa Project
DESCRIPTION:In 2001\, artist Kip Fulbeck began traveling the country photographing multiracial individuals of all ages and walks of life. Fulbeck’s work sought to address in words and images the one question that Hapa people are frequently asked — What are you? After photographing more than 1\,200 people\, the project culminated in the landmark book and exhibition Kip Fulbeck: Part Asian\, 100% Hapa\, which toured throughout the U.S. A new exhibition Hapa.me — 25 Years of The Hapa Project\, revisits some of the original subjects two decades later. How do they look now? How have their views on their own identity changed? \nDerived from the Hawaiian word for “half\,” the word “hapa” has been embraced as a term of pride by many whose mixed-race heritage includes Asian or Pacific Islander ancestry. The exhibition comes at a time of increasing awareness and identification with being mixed race. The 2020 Census showed that 10% of the population identified as multiracial\, almost tripling from ten years before. In Hapa.me\, Fulbeck presents a nuanced portrait of change and growth within this broad identity by focusing on individual faces and voices. \nOriginating at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles\, this New York presentation will feature 30 portraits and responses of local subjects\, installed amidst a hand-painted mural that captures the beauty of being mixed. A central reading table encourages visitors to flip through Hapa.me artist’s books for a fuller archive of the project. This exhibition is a homecoming of sorts for Fulbeck: MOCA was one of the first museums to exhibit the Hapa Project and it has remained a fixture of our permanent exhibition which explores over 200 years of the experiences of Chinese in America. \nhapa.me: 25 Years of the Hapa Project and related programs are made possible with generous support from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature; public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs\, in partnership with the City Council; Bloomberg Philanthropies; and is funded by a grant from the New York City Tourism Foundation. \nAbout the Artist \nKip Fulbeck has exhibited and performed in over 20 countries and throughout the U.S. He is the author of six books including Part Asian\, 100% Hapa; Mixed: Portraits of Multiracial Kids; and Hapa.me – 15 Years of The Hapa Project\, and the exhibition artist of Perseverance: Japanese Tattoo Tradition in a Modern World. He teaches as a Distinguished Professor of Art at the UCSB\, where he received the Faculty Diversity Award and the Distinguished Teaching Award\, and has been named an Outstanding Faculty Member five times.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: The New York Sari: A Journey Through Tradition\, Fashion\, and Identity
DESCRIPTION:The New York Sari showcases the deep influence that South Asians have had on the culture of New York City and how individuals have drawn strength from tradition while looking clearly towards a bolder future of inclusion and progress. \nThe New York Sari centers the sari as an essential part of the cultural fabric of New York City\, using it as a metaphor for the ways in which the individuals who wear and create saris have straddled tradition\, culture\, and modernity in their work\, art\, and lives. The exhibition tells the stories of who wears saris\, the relationship between saris and identities\, and how they’ve evolved over time. \nThe New York Sari showcases the deep influence that South Asians have had on the culture of New York City from the Gilded Age to the present day\, beginning with the little known history of Coney Island’s first theme park and culminating with the vibrant communities that are home to the South Asian diaspora today. Offering a unique history of migrant communities and gender in New York City\, the exhibition explores how individuals have drawn strength from tradition while looking clearly towards a bolder future of inclusion and progress.

Each of these paintings\, born from the artist’s stream of unconsciousness along with her counterpart North Korean art persona “Kim Il Soon\,” is a powerful peace protest\, shedding light on the intricacies of communication\, love\, and a shared vision of a harmonious future for Haunted Koreas. The call for unification within the Koreas is a concerted effort to desire peace on earth\, for dreaming global peace is about healing and reconciliation of tempered worlds divided. \n“Peace is expensive. War is lucrative. Artists are peace makers. Comedians are truth sayers.” \n*Conflict *Resolution *Politics *Peace *Love

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Creating Kosher Chop Suey
DESCRIPTION:What happened when chop suey\, a Chinese dish with American roots\, encountered Jewish customers in New York at the turn of the century? A new Center for Women’s History installation in the Joyce B. Cowin Women’s History Niche sheds light on the vibrant\, gastronomic collaboration between two ethnic communities. From debates in the Yiddish press to the publication of  kosher Chinese cookbooks\, and from representations in fine art to restaurant ephemera\, the installation explores how Jewish and Chinese women\, with a shared love for food\, together introduced a new phenomenon in the 1960s: kosher Chinese cuisine. Curated by Shiyong Lu\, Mellon Foundation Predoctoral Fellow in Women’s History and Public History\, and Anna Danziger Halperin\, Director for the Center for Women’s History.  \nImage: Gifford Reynolds Beal (1879–1956). Chinese Restaurant #1\, ca. 1930.
