SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: Avani Patel: Connection
DESCRIPTION:Connection is a solo exhibition by Avani Patel\, presented at Evercore’s New York City offices. \nExcerpt from Patel’s artist statement: \n“Art has been an integral part of my life since I was young. I used to go to the theater with my sister for her rehearsals and dance shows. Seeing the colorful costumes\, flowing dresses and festivity of these moments made me feel joyful; I felt as though the colors were speaking to me…I often draw and paint things that I see in my everyday surroundings\, personal experiences\, and memories. I use mark-making and repetition as tools to signify change in nature\, the passage of time\, and the retention and rejection of memory. My work often takes the form of visual studies and drawings that I work on for months as a time. This process helps me understand colors and patterns\, which then allows me to transfer my ideas to large-scale paintings and public projects.” \nFor inquiries\, please email info@cueartfoundation.org.

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

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:Writing the Family Story
DESCRIPTION:Your family is unique in all the world\, but how do you best tell its story? Whether you’re starting with boxes (or electronic folders) of photos\, diaries\, news clippings\, recipes\, and other mementos or whether memories themselves are your main material\, documenting a family history can be daunting. But it can be done well and meaningfully and shared with the people you love for decades to come. \nMathina Calliope\, a writer\, editor\, teacher\, and writing coach\, shares the tools and guidance you need to move from daunted through motivated and on to accomplished. \nFebruary 3  Nostalgia and Brainstorming  \nFebruary 10  Genre and Structure  \nFebruary 24  Nuts and Bolts  \nMarch 3  Impact \n Photo Credit:: Shutterstock/ New Africa

SUMMARY:Book Event: The Big We by Hali Lee
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book party with a Q&A\, food and drinks for THE BIG WE by Hali Lee. \nDrawing from the experiences of real-life giving circles\, philanthropy leader Hali Lee challenges our traditional understanding of giving\, showing how everyday people can take back philanthropy from the billionaires and make the world a better place. \nWhen you think of philanthropy\, what do you envision? Uber wealthy donors? Extravagant galas? In recent decades\, philanthropy has come to be seen as something exclusive to those with an abundance of resources. But giving doesn’t have to mean donating millions of dollars. It can be as simple as a group of people who come together to do something good in their community. In The Big We\, Hali Lee argues that the future of philanthropy belongs to community action\, specifically giving circles–groups of people who come together to pool their resources to make positive change. Born of traditions of generosity rooted in many of our ancestral cultures\, giving circles provide a way for us to overcome our sense of overwhelm at the many problems we face by learning\, acting\, and giving together. \nThrough stories of real giving circles around the country\, including her own experience starting the Asian Women Giving Circle\, Lee shows us a more expansive vision for the future of philanthropy. One led by people who are refocusing on community\, who care about rebuilding the civic space\, and who are yearning for connection\, purpose\, and shared vision. Through these giving circles do we see not only the immense impact we can have in our own backyards\, but also the tremendous scope of change we can achieve through the power of collective action.

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:Strategy of the Civil Rights Movement
DESCRIPTION:A look behind how the philosophy and strategy of the Civil Rights Movements developed. If it freed us then\, maybe it can free us now.\n\n\nStrategy of the Civil Rights Movement (with George Dou) \n“We must accept finite disappointment\, but never lose infinite hope.” \n-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. \nHow can the past help us respond to our present moment? This session will give participants a look behind how the philosophy and strategy of the Civil Rights Movements developed. If it freed us then\, maybe it can free us now. \nAbout Kingian Nonviolence (KNV): \nKNV is the philosophy and strategy that Dr. King utilized in organizing the Civil Rights movements. Since his passing\, many of his close friends and allies took to teaching and passing down his teaching. \nAbout Nonviolent Communication (NVC): \nNVC is a language and tool developed by the late Dr. Marshall Rosenberg to answer the question: “why do people hurt each other”? It’s a communication framework that can help us resolve conflicts in a positive way. \nDuring the workshop\, we will explore how Dr. King and other Civil Rights organizers organized and solved problems\, and how we might apply some of their philosophies to today. \nMeet the Instructor: George Dou \nGeorge (He/Him) is an educator and conflict resolution trainer\, and a double-alumnus of North Carolina State University\, where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Masters of Education. He received certification in Kingian Nonviolence training from the University of Rhode Island. \nHis current work revolves around supporting college students of underrepresented and historically marginalized backgrounds.

SUMMARY:Skyscraper Jails: The Abolitionist Fight Against Jail Expansion in New York City
DESCRIPTION:Join Zhandarka Kurti\, Jarrod Shanahan\, and Dylan Rodríguez for a damning account of mass incarceration that reveals how powerful nonprofits and “progressives” used the language of social movements to build new jails. \nIn Skyscraper Jails\, scholars and organizers Jarrod Shanahan and Zhandarka Kurti detail how progressive forces in New York City appropriated the rhetoric of social movements and social justice to promise “downsized” and “humane” jails. The principal advocates of these new jails were not right-wing politicians\, but prominent city activists and progressive non-profit organizations. \nAs the political coalition that campaigned for the new jails fans out across the United States\, the story at the heart of Skyscraper Jails is at once a case study and a cautionary tale for what will be coming to cities and towns across the United States and beyond. \n***Register through Ticket Tailor to receive a link to the live-streamed video on the day of the event. This event will also be recorded and captioning will be provided.*** \nSpeakers: \nZhandarka Kurti is an assistant professor of criminal justice and criminology at Loyola University Chicago. She is the co-author of States of Incarceration: Rebellion\, Reform and the Future of America’s Punishment System and editor of Treason to Whiteness is Loyalty to Humanity. \nJarrod Shanahan is the author of Captives: How Rikers Island Took New York City Hostage\, co-author of States of Incarceration: Rebellion\, Reform\, and America’s Punishment System\, and City Time: On Being Sentence to Rikers Island and editor of Treason to Whiteness Is Loyalty to Humanity. He lives in Chicago and works as an assistant professor of Criminal Justice at Governors State University in University Park\, IL. \nDylan Rodríguez is a teacher\, scholar\, organizer and collaborator who has maintained a day job as a Professor at the University of California-Riverside since 2001. He is a faculty member in the recently created Department of Black Study as well as the Department of Media and Cultural Studies.

SUMMARY:National Landscape of AANAPISIs History and Influence on Higher education
DESCRIPTION:AANAPISIs\, focusing on their history and influence in higher education\, as well as current dilemmas in today’s political climate.\n\nJoin the Asian American / Asian Research Institute for a presentation and discussion with Mike Hoa Nguyen (New York University)\, Caroline Hong (Queens College AANAPISI Project)\, Linh An (Hunter College AANAPISI Project)\, and Sau-fong Au (Brooklyn College AANAPISI Project) on the historical foundation of the AANAPISI program and its impact on the students and campuses at The City University of New York (CUNY). This workshop offers a national landscape of AANAPISIs\, focusing on their history and influence in higher education\, as well as current dilemmas in today’s political climate. \nOverview\nIn 2007\, the United States Congress established the Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISI) designation\, one of the federal government’s most recent Minority-Serving Institutions (MSI)\, to enhance the capacity of institutions to serve Asian American\, Native Hawaiian\, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) students. Today\, colleges and universities that become AANAPISIs are critical sites of innovation\, working to expand educational access and opportunities for AANHPIs. \nQueens College AANAPISI Project (QCAP)\nQCAP aims to support the academic success\, mental health\, and community engagement of Queens College’s diverse and underserved Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) students. QCAP addresses the specific needs of our AAPI students via a range of programs\, including multilingual peer tutoring in the Writing Center\, faculty development workshops\, mental health and art-making workshops\, an internship program\, and a community space.\n \nHunter College AANAPISI Project (HCAP)\nHCAP aims to enhance academic and student support services for Asian American and Pacific Islander students and other under-served students at Hunter College\, including first-generation college goers\, multilingual learners\, and students from immigrant families. We support students through our research skills programs\, writing and speaking seminars\, financial literacy programs\, mental wellness workshops\, and our transfer peer mentor programs. We also build institutional capacity to serve our students with faculty development workshops that focus on culturally sustaining pedagogies. \n \nBrooklyn College AANAPISI Project (BCAP)\nBCAP supports our 25% Asian American\, Native Hawaiian\, and Pacific Islander students—including Central Asian & Nomadic\, East Asian\, South Asian & “Desi\,” Southeast Asian & Pacific Islander\, West Asian & “MENA\,” and mixed heritage & intersecting communities. Our program aims to mitigate AAPI students’ barriers to educational achievement by enhancing institutional programs and services. BCAP addresses three main goals: 1) providing academic support for AAPI students by enhancing existing services and curriculum\, particularly Asian American Studies; 2) developing sustainable student leadership opportunities\, including the BCAP internship program; 3) engaging the campus community on AAPI students’ needs to provide culturally responsive services. \nThis event is supported by funding from the U.S. Department of Education through the Hunter College AANAPISI Project
