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.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for an extraordinary cultural excursion beyond the city\, where visual art and live performance meet in one unforgettable afternoon with the world-renowned artist and choreographer Shen Wei\, known for his incredible work as Principal Choreographer for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony. \nOn Saturday\, October 18\, 2025\, guests will travel by private charter bus from Manhattan to the Rockefeller Brothers Fund’s Pocantico Center and the Katonah Museum of Art (KMA) for an exclusive first look at the landmark exhibition Shen Wei: STILL/MOVING. \nYour $50 ticket includes:\n\nRoundtrip charter bus transportation from Manhattan’s Columbus Circle\nEntry to both exhibitions at Pocantico and the KMA\nExclusive live performance of Connect Transfer by Shen Wei Arts at the KMA\nArtists Talk between Shen Wei and the KMA’s Director and Chief Curator Michelle Yun Mapplethorpe\nDrinks and hors d’oeuvres served at the Katonah Museum during post-performance reception\nComplimentary bottled water on the bus (guests are welcome to bring their own snacks)\n\nYour Saturday Journey with Shen Wei:\n\n2:00 PM | Depart Manhattan (Columbus Circle)\n3:00 – 4:00 PM | Explore Shen Wei: STILL/MOVING exhibition at The Pocantico Center\, Tarrytown\, NY \n4:00 – 4:30 PM | Bus from Pocantico Center to Katonah\n4:30 – 5:00 PM | Explore Shen Wei: STILL/MOVING exhibition at the KMA\n5:00 – 6:30 PM | Live Performance of Connect Transfer and Artist Talk at the KMA\n6:30 – 7:00 PM | Cocktail Reception at the KMA\n7:00 PM – 8:00 PM | Return to Manhattan\n\nShen Wei: STILL/MOVING commemorates thirty years of Shen Wei’s visionary career as a dancer\, choreographer\, visual artist\, filmmaker\, and global cultural ambassador. This unprecedented joint exhibition between the Katonah Museum of Art and The Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund illuminates the full scope of the artist’s trailblazing practice\, offering rare access to Shen Wei’s paintings\, works on paper\, choreographic compositions\, short films\, and video highlights from the Shen Wei Dance Arts repertoire—including new pieces never before exhibited in the United States. \nShen Wei’s visual art transcends cultural and geographic boundaries\, capturing the body in motion with dynamic brushwork that seamlessly incorporates Chinese calligraphy\, allusions to post-World War II abstract movements such as Action Painting and Gutai\, and traditional Chinese shan shui (mountain-water) painting. The resulting works evoke both abstraction and visionary landscapes\, often monumental in scale and cinematic in quality\, compelling the viewer’s gaze to move and dance across the surface. \nAt The Pocantico Center\, the exhibition emphasizes Shen Wei’s dialogue with nature through his recent landscape paintings\, whose immersive scale invites sustained contemplation. \nAt the Katonah Museum of Art\, the presentation highlights the interdisciplinary nature of his oeuvre—the generative influence of music on his choreography\, and the central role of movement in his paintings. Together\, these two venues offer audiences a complete experience of Shen Wei’s multidisciplinary vision.

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.

SUMMARY:Sarah K. Khan Exhibition Opening: What Is the Language of Taste? (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Join IAJS and Zócalo Public Square at BRIC to view the artwork and experience a performance by Khan. A panel of chefs\, scholars\, and local community members will explore how what we eat\, and where it’s from\, shape our sense of identity. The panel will be moderated by IAJS founding faculty co-director Brian Lowery\, featuring James Beard Award-winning cookbook author and Jewish cuisine expert\, Joan Nathan\, community organizer and immigration activist Power Malu\, and food studies scholar Krishnendu Ray.  A reception will follow with complimentary drinks\, small bites by street vendors from the Street Vendor Project and EatOffBeat\, art-viewing\, and music by Yalla! Party Project’s DJ Kofta. \nNew York City has always been a center for Americans on the move; a magnet for newcomers\, who carry with them languages and flavors from home that take root anew. 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. Khan\nJoan Nathan\nPower Malu\nKrishnendu Ray \n\n“What Can Become of Us?” is a collaboration between the Stanford Institute for Advancing Just Societies (IAJS) and Zócalo Public Square\, envisioning new perspectives on migration\, America’s diverse communities\, and how people come together across differences. The year-long series activates four regions of the United States and highlights newly commissioned works of art—visual\, textile\, and dance—to inspire a national conversation through exhibitions\, public programs\, and essays\, and to work toward a better future.

Inspired by her childhood visits to Chinatown\, Michelle creates a collection that not only breathes new life into the shop’s apothecary history but also uses the jar as a vessel to transport us to an otherworldly landscape of a lotus garden. This collection and its meticulously crafted ink painting and sculptural details are a love letter to Michelle’s family\, honoring her grandfather’s stories of a heavenly landscape of unfathomable beauty\, her father’s legacy of Chinese ink painting\, and Michelle’s mom and grandmother’s matriarchal power that continue to fuel her to keep expanding her practice. We are so thrilled to be sharing this work at W.O.W. as part of our ongoing Centennial programming <3 Join us for the opening on Friday\, October 3 from 6-8pm! \nABOUT MICHELLE WEN \n@michelle_wen_artist \nMichelle Wen is a ceramic artist and instructor born and raised in Brooklyn\, New York\, and received her BFA from Pratt Institute.

Michelle also continues to hold fundraisers to support humanitarian\, environmental\, and social justice causes by raffling off her ceramics. Michelle is honored to be showing her work at Wing on Wo\, as Chinatown still plays a significant role in her life and remains a place of gathering and sentimental value for her family. \nMichelle’s work has been featured in Vanity Fair and Pottery Making Illustrated.

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.

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.

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

Our programming raises awareness of the community’s diverse histories while fostering opportunities for intra-community connection\, understanding\, and further creative development. \nAbout Open Call: Portals \nTwelve early-career\, NYC-based artists and collectives present new works that harness personal stories and ancestral global history to open portals for passage\, transformation\, and resistance. Ranging from painting and film to sculpture and performance\, their works explore forces shaping our world: colonialism\, migration\, and environmental crisis. \nTogether these artists forge profound connections between the past and present\, memory and material\, and displacement and belonging to create Open Call: Portals. Artists featured in the exhibition were selected as part of Open Call\, a commissioning program for early-career\, NYC-based artists redefining what it means to make art.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: Open Call: Portals
DESCRIPTION:Twelve early-career\, NYC-based artists and collectives present new works that harness personal stories and ancestral global history to open portals for passage\, transformation\, and resistance. \nRanging from painting and film to sculpture and performance\, their works explore forces shaping our world: colonialism\, migration\, and environmental crisis.

SUMMARY:Photo Exhibit: The Lams of Ludlow St
DESCRIPTION:The Lams of Ludlow Street\nThomas Holton \nBAXTER ST is pleased to present The Lams of Ludlow Street\, a solo exhibition by photographer Thomas Holton\, presented as part of the organization’s Mid-Career Initiative. Spanning over two decades\, this deeply personal body of work chronicles the evolving lives of a single Chinese-American family in Manhattan’s Chinatown\, offering an intimate exploration of identity\, belonging\, and the everyday moments that shape our understanding of home. \nSince 2003\, Holton has immersed himself in the life of the Lam family\, capturing both the private and public dimensions of their world with an unfiltered\, empathetic lens. What began as an artistic inquiry into his own Chinese heritage has evolved into a lifelong commitment to storytelling—one that reflects the complexities of family\, migration\, and cultural hybridity in contemporary America. \nA lifelong New Yorker of mixed Chinese and American descent\, Holton has long grappled with a sense of detachment from his Chinese roots. His photographic journey with the Lams became both a creative and personal act of connection\, a way to bridge the gaps in his own identity through the lens of another family’s experiences. The resulting images document adolescence\, marriage\, resilience\, and the quiet\, unscripted moments that define family life. \nPresented at a time when Chinatown\, like many immigrant communities\, faces profound social and economic shifts\, The Lams of Ludlow Street serves as both a visual archive and a meditation on what it means to belong. Holton’s images remind us of the power of long-term storytelling—of what it means to bear witness to time\, change\, and human connection. \nPhoto credit: Thomas Holton

SUMMARY:Exhibit:  "The Monkey King in Chinatown" by AAPI Comic Book and Graphic Novel Artists
DESCRIPTION:The Monkey King is the epitome of tricksterdom. First appearing in the 14th-century Chinese novel\, “Journey to the West\,” the character born as Sun Wukong embodies rebellion\, individualism\, and daring. He’s also the inspiration behind the stunning works in this exhibition. \nCurator Jerry Ma’s modern Monkey King idea began with his first exhibition at Pearl River Mart\, A CHINATOWN ODYSSEY (which inspired his graphic novel). This solo show was his reimagining of the mythical creature and his legendary cohorts on adventures — and misadventures — throughout NYC’s Chinatown. \nThis new exhibition\, featuring the works of eight renowned AAPI comic book and graphic novel artists\, furthers those adventures. The pieces reimagine the simian folk hero as everything from a punk rocker to a dancing king to a ferocious b-baller. They place him in iconic Chinatown spots\, like Columbus Park with its Chinese chess enthusiasts\, the Canal Street subway station (complete with pizza rat)\, a lively dim sum eatery\, and the Transfiguration Church and beloved Hop Kee restaurant. \nThey connect the past with the present\, bringing a Chinese legend into a Chinese American community\, and beyond. They make him part of that community. Eating\, dancing\, playing\, and laughing alongside its members. \nThe exhibition also features the artists’ works from their careers as comic book and graphic novel artists\, and is accompanied by installations in Chelsea Market and the outdoor tables of the Meatpacking District. Both framed and unframed prints are available for purchase. \nThe featured artists: \n\nBernard Chang\nSean Chen\nCliff Chiang\nSoo Lee\nHoward Ma\nJerry Ma (curator)\nJerome Opeña\nKimberly Wang

SUMMARY:MOCA TALKS with Karen Fang – The Life and Work of Tyrus Wong
DESCRIPTION:We will celebrate Wong’s enduring impact on American visual storytelling\, including his contributions to the beloved Disney classic Bambi.\n\n\nCan’t attend in person? Join us online. \nThe Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) invites you to an insightful conversation with Karen Fang\, Professor of English at the University of Houston\, film scholar\, cultural critic\, and author of Background Artist: The Life and Work of Tyrus Wong. \nYou may not recognize the name Tyrus Wong\, but you’ve likely seen his work—most notably in the atmospheric scenes of Disney’s Bambi. Background Artist shares the inspiring story of Wong’s remarkable 106-year life and showcases his wide array of creative work\, from the paintings and fine art prints he made working for Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration to the unique handmade kites he designed and flew on the Santa Monica beach. It tells how he came to the United States as a ten-year-old boy in 1920\, at a time when the Chinese Exclusion Act barred him from legal citizenship. Yet it also shows how Wong found American communities that welcomed him and nurtured his artistic talent. Covering everything from his work as a studio sketch artist for Warner Bros. to the best-selling Christmas cards he designed for Hallmark and other greeting card companies\, this book celebrates a multitalented Asian American artist and pioneer. \nAs part of this event\, two original paintings by Tyrus Wong will be temporarily displayed. Through this discussion\, MOCA honors Wong’s enduring influence on American visual storytelling\, his ability to bridge cultures through art\, and the creative vision that continues to inspire generations. The program will be moderated by Yifan Wu\, MOCA’s Senior Director of Events and Operations. \nAbout Karen Fang \nKaren Fang is a film scholar and visual culture critic who writes and speaks for museums and film festivals around the world. Known for previous books about Hong Kong cinema and nineteenth-century British interest in exotic objects\, Karen often writes about the intersection of eastern and western aesthetics. Her work has appeared in Smithsonian Magazine\, Hyperallergic\, Nikkei Asia\, and the Los Angeles Review of Books. She is also a prominent contributor to The Engines of Our Ingenuity\, a long-running\, widely distributed public radio series about science and innovation\, where her episodes always focus on the visual arts. A Sunday painter\, Karen’s favorite media are watercolor and pen and ink.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Leekyung Kang: Entombed in Static
DESCRIPTION:Artist Leekyung Kang will present on her recent work is inspired by Buddhist cosmology’s cyclical nature.\nLeekyung Kang\, the inaugural artist-in-residence at the Queens College School of Arts (Fall 2024)\, will present on her recent work inspired by Buddhist cosmology’s cyclical nature\, creating a series of paintings\, print\, and installation that interrogate the formal aspects of what is architecturally defined as a form of chamber. Beginning with the visual language of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism (대한불교조계종\, 大韓佛敎 曹溪宗)\, Kang plans to incorporate imagery from various religions to illustrate how ancient beliefs interpret ideas of cosmic harmony and divine presence. Drawing from ancient tomb or chamber murals across religions and cultures\, her work aims to reconcile diverse elements to refine the articulation of cyclical and transformative existence.

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:Art Exhibit: In Our Corner: Exchanges in the Asian American Art Movements and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Who is in our corner when we need help?\nWho do we call on when we are down?\nWho backs us up when we are cornered?\nIn Our Corner: Exchanges in the Asian American Art Movements and Beyond explores the personal and professional support that artists of Asian descent received during and after the Asian American Art Movements. This companion exhibition to Legacies: Asian American Art Movements in New York City (1969-2001) at New York University’s 80WSE Gallery\, invites five artists of the three key art collectives and organizations featured in Legacies to show alongside five non-Asian American artists who supported their work and growth over the years. These relationships range from recently made friendships to lifelong partnerships and even marriage: Kathleen Foster joins Ching Ming Cheung; Charles Luce joins Helen Oji; Howardena Pindell joins Arlan Huang; Shellyne Rodriguez joins Tomie Arai; and Arleen Schloss joins Nina Kuo. To highlight AAAC’s collection and its ongoing solidarity-building\, In Our Corner presents five works by non-Asian American artists from the collection\, Columbia Fiero\, Kitty Katz\, Donald Lipski\, Eva Mantell\, and Sepp Seitz. As the hosting institution for In Our Corner\, Think!Chinatown’s commission of Black Gotham’s Grand Rising and its inclusion in the show demonstrates the organization’s ongoing exchange and collaboration with communities of color. Through interviews and writings from the artists\, In Our Corner highlights these bonds and explores how artist collectives/organizations intersected and fostered connections. \nNovember 16\, 2024 – March 2025 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, November 16\, 2024\, 3-5PM \nThink!Chinatown’s Studio – 1 Pike Street\, New York\, NY 10002 \nPhoto Credit “Untitled” by Sepp Seitz
