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:[REPLAY] Foundations 2025: "Modernity" and Institutional Racism
DESCRIPTION:Register to view the workshop recording\, taking a deep dive into understanding systemic racism and global “modernity.”\n\n\nInstitutional Racism and “Modernity” (Recording) \nThis session recording takes a deep dive into understanding systemic racism\, with a focus on institutional racism as the historical engine of global “modernity.” \nAll are welcome. We offer these trainings in order to equip you with histories and critical frameworks that can deepen the work of antiracism in your lives and in your communities. This three-part series intentionally integrates what is often left out of general racial justice education: AAPI experiences and decolonial values. They represent our beliefs and values as an organization and are the foundation for organizing emergent community-led labs for mutual care\, community-building\, collaboration and innovation. \nThe facilitator for this series is AAJIL’s founder and Co-Executive Director\, Dr. Sandra So Hee Chi Kim. She is an adjunct professor of race and ethnic studies at Cal State LA and a visiting scholar in USC’s Department of American Studies and Ethnicity. Her research explores the intersections of race\, global coloniality\, migration\, and culture. Her articles have appeared in Diaspora: A Journal of Transnational Studies\, Positions: Asia Critique\, Korean Studies\, Discourse: Journal for Theoretical Studies in Media and Culture\, and Occasion: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Humanities. She is currently working on a book manuscript entitled The Kinship of Empires: Transpacific Coloniality and Korean Historical Trauma. \nThe Asian American Justice + Innovation Lab (AAJIL) is a community racial justice incubator committed to education\, community-building\, and innovation for promoting justice\, radical love\, and emergence. \nAll workshop donations go directly towards covering AAJIL’s operating costs. As a completely volunteer-run organization\, we are so grateful for your financial support! \nwww.aajil.org \nwww.instagram.com/aajil_org/ \n \nYou will be able to access the link by signing into your Eventbrite and viewing links from Get Tickets or going the link under Location with View Event Details. \nApplication for our Formations Program ’25-’26 available now.

SUMMARY:Family Storytelling Workshop By  Natalia Nakazawa
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a storytelling experience rooted in myth\, imagination\, and family legacy.\n\n\nArtist Workshop: Family Storytelling \nSunday\, August 17\, 2025 | TBD \nJoin us for a storytelling experience rooted in myth\, imagination\, and family legacy. We’ll read the ancient Japanese tale of Urashima Taro\, a story dating back to the 8th century about a fisherman whose life is forever changed after meeting a magical princess in the form of a turtle. Inspired by this myth\, families will have the chance to imagine themselves as a 10\,000-year-old yokai\, the minogame\, a mystical being who has witnessed centuries of human experience. \nIntergenerational Storytelling: \nReflect on the wisdom passed down through generationWhat is something you learned from your ancestors?How has that knowledge shaped who you are today?What is your vision for a sustainable future?What do you hope to pass on to your children? \nArt-Making: Collagraph Printing: \nTogether\, we’ll create collagraph prints of woven patterns on Tyvek\, merging ancestral memory with tactile expression. \nAbout Natalia Nakazawa: \nNatalia Nakazawa (b. 1982\, Charlotte\, NC) is a Queens-based interdisciplinary artist and educator whose work spans painting\, textiles\, and social practice. As a child of Latin American (Uruguayan) and Asian (Japanese American\, Yonsei) diasporas\, she draws on complex cultural legacies to explore identity\, migration\, and storytelling. Through collaborative\, community-driven projects\, Nakazawa blurs the boundaries between education\, activism\, and art\, inviting collective participation. Her jacquard textiles incorporate images from open-access museum collections\, often highlighting historical moments of cultural exchange. These works serve as tactile archives; places to critically engage with memory. \nAbout the Fellowship: \nThe Socrates Annual Fellowship and exhibition reflects Socrates’ founding commitment to artistic experimentation and excellence\, while also nurturing artists’ careers. Artists are selected through an open call and receive financial support\, access to Socrates’ outdoor studios and technical support\, and inclusion in a Park-wide exhibition. Since 2001\, 279 artists have participated with many subsequently receiving further commissions for public art projects. The Socrates Annual Fellowship & Exhibition is one of the Park’s longest running programs and is an important training ground for early career artists to gain experience creating art in the public realm. \nThis year’s Fellowship will respond to the theme “Up/rooted\,” which explores the complexities of uprooting species for long-term sustainability and resilience. The term “uprooted” evokes the tension between dislocation and resilience. “Up” signifies the act of lifting away\, while “root” refers to the hidden systems below the ground—anchoring life and absorbing essential nutrients. This duality invites us to reflect on the implications of relocation and adaptation\, exploring how when done thoughtfully it can foster new growth and understanding. In what ways can we foster regeneration while acknowledging and mitigating the losses within our ecological and social landscapes? How might we navigate the delicate balance between ecological preservation and community needs to create a more resilient future?

SUMMARY:CAEG & HK Ballet present The Butterfly Lovers – Use Discount Code "HKB30" for 30% off
DESCRIPTION:Use “HKB30” when you purchase your tickets for a 30% discount!\nAn eternal love that defies all expectations. Reimagined by an international team of creative minds together with Hong Kong Ballet’s Choreographer-in-Residence Hu Song Wei Ricky and Mai Jingwen\, The Butterfly Lovers is a legendary Chinese folktale about humble scholar Liang Shanbo and aristocratic heiress Zhu Yingtai\, who disguises herself as a boy in order to study at a prestigious academy.

Transcendent and uplifting\, The Butterfly Lovers is a glorious fusion of inspiring dance\, contemporary Chinese aesthetics and eternal hope. \nThis production won 6 major awards at the 26th Hong Kong Dance Awards 2025\, including Outstanding Choreography and Outstanding Ensemble Performance. \nPhoto credit: Hong Kong Ballet

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Where are You Really From by Elaine Hsieh Chou
DESCRIPTION:For this Book Club discussion with the author\, we’ll be discussing Background: A Short Story. Read it first here! \n\nFrom the critically-acclaimed author of Disorientation\, a multi-genre story collection that \n\nexplores the limits and possibilities of storytelling. \nA mail order bride from Taiwan is packed up in a cardboard box and sent via express shipping to California\, where her much older husband awaits her. Two teenage girls meticulously plan how to kill and cook their downstairs neighbor. An American au pair moves to Paris to find herself\, only to find her actual French doppelgänger. A father reunites with his estranged daughter in unusual circumstances: as a background actor on the set of her film. And in “Casualties of Art\,” a writer’s affair with a married artist tests the line between fact and fiction\, self-victimization and the victimization of others. \nIn these six singular stories and a novella that pivot from the terrible to the beautiful to the surreal\, Elaine Hsieh Chou confronts the slipperiness of truth in storytelling. With razor-sharp precision and psychological acuity\, she peels back the tales we tell ourselves to peer beneath them: at our treacherous desires\, our self-deceptions and our capacity for cruelty\, both to ourselves and each other. Expansive and provocative\, Where Are You Really From is a visionary achievement. \n\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR\n\n\nElaine Hsieh Chou is a Taiwanese American author and screenwriter from California. Described as “the funniest\, most poignant novel of the year” by Vogue\, her debut novel Disorientation was a New York Times Editors’ Choice Book\, New York Public Library Young Lions Fiction Award finalist and Thurber Prize finalist. A former Rona Jaffe Graduate Fellow at New York University\, her Pushcart Award–winning short fiction appears in Guernica\, Black Warrior Review\, Tin House Online\, Ploughshares and The Atlantic\, while her essays appear in The Cut and Vanity Fair. She is a Fred R. Brown Literary Award recipient\, a Sundance Episodic Lab Fellow and a Gotham Series Creator to Watch. Her work has been supported by the Harry Ransom Center\, the New York Foundation for the Arts and Hedgebrook’s Writers-in-Residence Program.

SUMMARY:Theater:  GUT (굿) Act 2: Memoirs
DESCRIPTION:Memoirs (Act 2) is the second act of GUT (굿)\, a three-act autobiographical hybrid/dance work and the fifth and final installment of Soomi Kim’s series exploring mortality in Korean and Asian American lives. Act 2: Memoirs examine the complex legacy between a Korean American daughter and her immigrant father\, as she pieces together the history of a man she never truly knew. Set between 1950s postwar Korea and present-day America\, Memoirs traces a poetic journey through grief\, fragmented memory\, and complicated love—asking: how can we let go when grief is a knot of longing and regret? \nGUT (굿) Act 2: Memoirs (a work in progress) brings together a stellar company of 4 AAPI performers led by director and co-developer Peter Kim.

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.

SUMMARY:Dr. Sanjay Gupta in Conversation with Rich Roll: It Doesn’t Have to Hurt (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Join CNN’s Emmy Award-winning chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta for a conversation about the mystery of chronic pain\, and how to eliminate it from your life — and Gupta’s new book\, It Doesn’t Have to Hurt: Your Smart Guide to a Pain-Free Life. \nAre you one of the 52 million people who experience chronic pain in your day-to-day life? In It Doesn’t Have to Hurt\, Sanjay Gupta makes the empowering argument that there are effective options for relief that you can start practicing today to greatly reduce your chances of suffering pain tomorrow. Offering practical\, evidence-based solutions\, Gupta argues that while the brain can “create” pain\, it also has the capacity to reduce or eliminate it. There is more evidence than ever that the benefits of sleep\, diet and nutrition\, mindfulness-based pain management (MBPM) — as well as yoga\, specialized psychotherapies\, and even social life — can radically relieve your experience of chronic pain. \nHear Gupta unlock the mysteries of pain and the latest research about pain relief — from sleep to psychedelics — in this practical\, no-nonsense conversation about taking control of your experience in a pain-smart life.

SUMMARY:Festival & Screening – 9-Man: 80 Years of Chinatown Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate 80 years of 9-Man with an evening of food\, music\, and local vendors in the heart of Chinatown. This special community event honors the legacy of the game and the people who’ve built it—on and off the court. Whether you’re a longtime player or just discovering 9-Man\, come experience the culture and community that make it all possible. \nJoin us for a special outdoor screening of the award-winning documentary 9-MAN on Sunday\, August 31 at 7:30 PM in Columbus Park. \n9-MAN uncovers an isolated and unique streetball tournament played by Chinese-Americans in the heart of Chinatowns across the USA and Canada. Largely undiscovered by the mainstream\, the game is a gritty\, athletic\, chaotic urban treasure traditionally played in parking lots and back alleys and it is fiercely protected by a community of men who require that 2/3 of players are “100% Chinese.” In the 1930’s\, a 9-Man tournament was born. It emerged at a time when anti-Chinese sentiment and laws forced restaurant workers and laundrymen to socialize exclusively amongst themselves. Today it’s a lasting connection to Chinatown for a dynamic community of men who know a different\, more integrated world\, but still fight to maintain autonomy and tradition. \nPart of the The 80th North American Chinese Invitational Volleyball Tournament
