SUMMARY:Broadway: Maybe Happy Ending
DESCRIPTION:Emmy® and Golden Globe Award® winner Darren Criss (Little Shop of Horrors) returns to Broadway alongside Helen J Shen in the new romantic musical comedy MAYBE HAPPY ENDING.  A New York Times Critics’ Pick \nInside a one-room apartment on the outskirts of Seoul\, Oliver lives a happily quiet life\, listening to jazz records and caring for his favorite plant. But what else is there to do when you’re a Helperbot 3\, a robot that has long been retired and considered obsolete? When his fellow Helperbot neighbor Claire asks to borrow his charger\, what starts as an awkward encounter leads to a unique friendship\, a surprising adventure\, and maybe even…love? \nWinner of the Richard Rodgers Award\, MAYBE HAPPY ENDING is the offbeat and captivating story of two outcasts near the end of their warranty who discover that even robots can be swept off their feet. Helmed by visionary director and Tony Award® winner Michael Arden (Parade\, Once on This Island)\, with a dazzling scenic design by Dane Laffrey (A Christmas Carol) and book\, music\, and lyrics by the internationally acclaimed duo Will Aronson and Hue Park\, MAYBE HAPPY ENDING is a fresh\, original musical about the small things that make any life worth living.

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:Barbara Demick's Daughters of the Bamboo Grove Book Launch with Emily Feng
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with acclaimed journalist and author Barbara Demick for the book launch of her latest work\, Daughters of the Bamboo Grove. \nIn Daughters of the Bamboo Grove\, prizing winning author and National Book Award finalist Barbara Demick\, embarks on a journey following the lives of Fangfang and Shuangjie — twins separated at birth — and the extraordinary efforts to reunite them. The compelling narrative delves into the heart-wrenching story of twin sisters torn apart by China’s one-child policy\, the complex socio-political landscape of China\, and the emotional and ethical dimensions of international adoption. Her previous books include Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea and Eat the Buddha: Life and Death in a Tibetan Town. \nDemick will be in conversation with NPR’s international correspondent Emily Feng\, who brings her own experience and perspective from her reporting work on China. Demick and Feng will also discuss the topic of identity\, exploring what it means to be Chinese in China\, as covered in Feng’s recent book Let Only Red Flowers Bloom\, and what it means to be Chinese within the broader Asian diaspora in America. Fangfang\, who was adopted by a family in the U.S. and renamed Esther\, and Shuangjie\, who remained in China\, are central to this discussion. \nDaughters of the Bamboo Grove will be available for sale during the event\, with a book signing and reception to follow. \n$25 Nonmembers\, $15 Members.

Please prepare a 1-2 minute introduction to a publishing project\, with a hot take on how/why it materializes and matters to you and your (imagined) community. Speakers are welcome to bring a publication to illustrate their points. Like the participants of the larger project\, speakers are invited to imagine ‘publishing’ expansively. This could include (not exhaustively): one off or serial projects\, print or digital or online publication\, self-published or institutional endeavors\, books\, zines\, magazines\, journals\, work on/through social media\, websites\, and more. \nBetween 2023-2024\, Tang and Wong convened internal online conversations with artists\, writers\, editors and curators to discuss and complicate how trans*gender\, Asian\, and diasporic experiences might inform publishing practices in contemporary art. These conversations were organized in collaboration with Asia Art Archive in America\, with the support of The New School and New York University. This summer\, Asia Art Archive in America will publish an online publication edited by Tang and Wong that extends these dialogues and features contributions by some of the conversation participants. \nThis collaborative event is hosted by Asia Art Archive in America and co-organized with NYU’s Department of Performance Studies. \n \nParticipant bios: \nJeannine Tang is an art historian who teaches as Assistant Professor in the Department of Performance Studies at the Tisch School of the Arts\, NYU. \nWong Binghao (Bing) is a writer\, editor\, and curator. They are the editorial and creative director of 5G Bing\, an internet grimoire. \n \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:Kevin Nguyen: Mỹ Documents
DESCRIPTION:In his second novel\, Mỹ Documents\, Kevin Nguyen follows four Vietnamese cousins whose lives are upended after a terrorist attack incites a government crackdown that targets their community through mass internment of Vietnamese-American citizens. Nguyen relies on the history of Japanese internment\, the Vietnam War\, and more recent immigrant detention to imagine a not-entirely-implausible near American future. As the cousins confront isolation\, ambition\, and the fight to survive\, their intertwined journeys offer a powerful meditation on racism\, family\, and resilience. \nIn Person and Livestream
