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: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.

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:Noguchi’s New York
DESCRIPTION:In 1922\, Isamu Noguchi first moved to New York—a city that would remain his on-again\, off-again home for the remainder of his life. Though he was an avid traveler who built meaningful connections and temporary homes around the world\, Noguchi always returned to New York. It was here that he created some of his most iconic artworks and imagined countless others. \nThis exhibition examines Noguchi’s deep and dynamic relationship with New York City\, exploring how its material\, cultural\, social\, and political landscape indelibly transformed his artwork and thinking\, and how he in turn transformed the city. It also highlights Noguchi’s unflagging attempts to give back by sculpting communal spaces for exploration and play—efforts often thwarted\, most notably by the influential NYC Parks Commissioner Robert Moses. \nNoguchi’s New York encompasses more than 50 works\, including sculptures\, project models\, photographs\, and archival materials. The exhibition also brings to life Noguchi’s visions for unrealized playgrounds and playground equipment through a series of hand-painted animated films by Jack Cunningham and Nicolas Ménard of Eastend Western. \nOrganized on the 40th anniversary of The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum\, this exhibition celebrates the Museum itself as one of Noguchi’s most profound gifts to this city he called home. \nPhoto credit: Isamu Noguchi\, 1980

SUMMARY:Theater: Chinese Republicans (with Discount Code)
DESCRIPTION:Buy tickets from $39 using code CR39.\nComing to Roundabout Theatre this winter\, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Playwright Alex Lin and Award-Winning Director Chay Yew. \nThree high-powered businesswomen meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs\, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie\, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce\, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best\, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder. \nShifting between sharp-tongued humor and the harsh realities of modern capitalism\, this world premiere production explores themes of assimilation\, intergenerational conflict\, and gender politics in the workplace—all with unflinching wit and empathy. Chinese Republicans is a new play from a thrilling new American voice and tells a truly American story. \nCast: Jennifer Ikeda\, Ben Langhorst\, Jully Lee\, Jodi Long\, Anna Zavelson \nHarold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre\, Laura Pels Theatre\, 111 West 46th Street\, New York\, NY \nLink to buy tickets: Chinese Republicans – Roundabout Theatre Company

SUMMARY:Theater Performance:  Dear John
DESCRIPTION:It’s 2011\, and a recent college graduate is trying to move out of her mom’s house (with little hope and no prospects) when she receives a message from a mysterious stranger named John on Facebook. Dear John is a solo show based on a true story about what happens when a long-absent father finds his not-quite-adult daughter through a social networking website. Weaving together Facebook DMs\, recorded interviews\, and anecdotes of growing up undocumented in New York’s Chinatown\, Dear John is a coming of age story delightfully told by writer and performer Rachel Lin about the ways we try (and fail) to reach each other\, over and over again.

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: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:Buddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Asia Society’s seventieth anniversary\, Asia Society Museum presents Buddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon: Celebrating 70 Years of Asia Society and the Rockefeller Legacy. \nDisplaying seventy of the finest examples of Asian art in the United States drawn from Asia Society’s permanent collection\, the exhibition showcases the extraordinary range of bronzes\, ceramics\, and metalwork thoughtfully assembled between the 1950s and the 1970s by John D. Rockefeller 3rd (1906-1978) and his wife Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller (1909-1992). John D. Rockefeller 3rd founded Asia Society in 1956 with the mission to promote greater knowledge of Asia in the United States; the bequest of the collection to Asia Society in 1979 underscores the Rockefellers’ conviction that an aesthetic encounter with great works of art promotes deep cross-cultural understanding. \nWith highlights including spectacular Buddhist and Hindu sculptures\, and rare Chinese\, Korean\, and Japanese ceramics\, Buddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon celebrates historic achievements in Asian art spanning more than two millennia. The exhibition foregrounds the transformative power of faith and the catalyzing potential of international trade in the creation of great works of art across Asia. \nBuddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon presents a special opportunity for museum visitors to experience the unparalleled quality of the Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller Thrid Collection at its home at Asia Society Museum in New York City.

SUMMARY:Beyond Headlines: The Human Story of Americans in China  An Official Book Launch and Conversation with Author William Brown
DESCRIPTION:Behind the headlines and geopolitics lies a rarely heard story\, the lives of ordinary Americans who became part of China’s history. \nFor decades\, Professor William Brown traveled more than 200\,000 kilometers across China and the United States to uncover letters\, photographs\, and memories of Americans who lived in China across generations — teachers\, doctors\, diplomats\, pilots\, and families whose ties endured long after they returned home. Their experiences reveal friendships and shared struggles that shaped mutual understanding far more deeply than official policy ever could. \nThese Americans helped establish early hospitals and schools\, advanced education for women and students with disabilities\, opposed the opium trade\, and supported China’s sovereignty during an era of imperial competition. During World War II\, the American volunteer pilots known as the Flying Tigers fought alongside Chinese forces against Japan\, a legacy still commemorated in China today. \nThrough vivid journeys across deserts\, villages\, and modern cities\, the book shows history as lived experience: people meeting\, learning\, and sometimes staying for a lifetime. \nThis year marks the 100th anniversary of China Institute\, founded to promote U.S.–China exchange through education and human connection. We invite you to join this conversation with the author\, hear these remarkable stories firsthand\, and explore how personal encounters continue to shape understanding between the two nations today.

SUMMARY:Siyan Wang: Mother Warriors (Artist Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Siyan Wong’s paintings depict immigrant Chinese women working in garment factories\, restaurants\, homecare\, and street vendors. Inspired by the immigrant dreams of a better life and the reality of survival in a dehumanizing economy\, Wong notes that her paintings\, “make the lives of Chinese women\, and the working poor\, visible while directing the viewers’ gaze to their body and soul as they toil.” A self-taught artist\, Wong’s outsider painting style\, replete with decorative patterning\, shallow pictorial space and panning compositions\, offer a closely observed\, non-filtered\, cinematic view of the unrelenting struggles\, yet earnest fortitude of her subjects. \nIn collaboration with New York Artists Equity (NYAE)\, Siyan also presents two simultaneous exhibits exploring the immigrant experience: \n“Familiar Stranger” featuring artworks by Luisa Henao\, Ying Hung\, Sharon Cheuk Wun Lee\, Elim Mak\, and Mary Ting. \n“Immigration in America” featuring artworks by NYC high school students \nExhibition Dates: 3/12/26 – 4/11/26\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, March 12th\, 6 – 8pm\nArtist Talk: Saturday March 21st\, 3 – 5pm

SUMMARY:Get Lit March Book Club: A Guardian and a Thief by Megha Majumdar (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Join WNYC’s Alison Stewart and writer Megha Majumdar for a live conversation about her newest book\, A Guardian and a Thief\, a finalist for the National Book Award. \nThe New York Public Library and WNYC—two indispensable New York institutions—are partnering to host a book club that brings New Yorkers together and fosters community. \nThe March title is Megha Majumdar’s A Guardian and a Thief – an electrifying new novel in which two families seeking to protect their children must battle each other in a city ravaged by climate change and food scarcity. \nIn a near-future Kolkata beset by flooding and famine\, Ma\, her two-year-old daughter\, and her elderly father are just days from leaving the collapsing city behind to join Ma’s husband in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. After procuring long-awaited visas from the consulate\, they pack their bags for the flight to America. But in the morning they awaken to discover that Ma’s purse\, containing their treasured immigration documents\, has been stolen. \nSet over the course of one week\, A Guardian and a Thief tells two stories: the story of Ma’s frantic search for the thief while keeping hunger at bay during a worsening food shortage; and the story of Boomba\, the thief\, whose desperation to care for his family drives him to commit a series of escalating crimes whose consequences he cannot fathom. With stunning control and command\, Megha Majumdar paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of two families\, each operating from a place of ferocious love and undefeated hope\, each discovering how far they will go to secure their children’s future as they stave off encroaching catastrophe. \nA masterful new work from one of the most exciting voices of her generation. \n

SUMMARY:The Health Impacts of Immigration Policy
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the NYU Migration Network. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. \nREGISTER \nHeld monthly over the semester\, these public conversations bring together scholars\, artists\, and practitioners for cross-disciplinary exchanges to develop and refine understandings of migration and mobility\, its histories\, and its political stakes. With migration so sensationalized by much of the media\, these conversations are a rare opportunity to invite the public to engage with questions of migration and mobility in a nuanced\, thoughtful\, and analytical manner. \nThis conversation on “The Health Impacts of Immigration Policy” will feature Maria Elena de Trinidad Young (UCLA) and Laura Wherry (NYU). \nNYU campus access guidelines: This is an in-person event\, open to the public. Registration is required. \nAccessibility note: If you have any access needs\, please email migration-network@nyu.edu. \n  \nMaria Elena de Trinidad Young\, PhD\, MPH\, is an affiliate at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and an assistant professor at UC Merced. Young focuses on the impact of the US immigration system on the health of immigrant populations. Her research examines the relationship between health inequities and factors such as citizenship and legal status and state and local policies. Her current research seeks to understand the various structural\, institutional\, and individual mechanisms that link policy with health outcomes. \nYoung was formerly the project director of the NIH-funded Research on Immigrant Health and State Policy (RIGHTS) Study which seeks to understand the experiences of Latino and Asian immigrants in California in the areas of health care\, social services\, employment\, education\, and law enforcement and how these experiences have had an impact on their health and access to health care. Young was also the Chancellor’s postdoctoral fellow at UC Merced where she lead a study to examine how media coverage of immigration policy may influence immigrant well-being. \nLaura Wherry is an associate professor at NYU Wagner and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research in the Economics of Health program. During the 2024-25 academic year\, she served as the senior economist for health care on the President’s Council of Economic Advisers. Her research focuses on the role of public programs and policies on the health and economic well-being of individuals in the US. She has a particular interest in policies that affect access to health care for women and children in lower income families. \nImage: U.S. Customs and Border Protection operations following the implementation of Title 42 USC 265 at the northern and southern land borders\, March 22\, 2020\, photograph by Jerry Glaser.

SUMMARY:Learning How To Read By Moonlight
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one-night only reading of a new play with music by Gaven Trinidad and directed by Nicholas Polonio. \nA collection of Filipino\, Fil-Am\, and AANHPI artists is coming together for a concert reading of the play Learning How to Read by Moonlight to fundraise for University Settlement’s Adult English Classes. The classes are offered at a variety of levels to adult immigrant students during the daytime\, evenings\, and weekends\, free of charge. \nNick Polonio is the director. Carolina Do and Ariel Estrada are producing\, with co-producers: New York Theatre Workshop\, The Song Collective\, Betterfly Productions\, Leviathan Lab\, and University Settlement. \nThis 2025 Boston Critics’ Pick play follows a young\, undocumented Filipino family’s journey to build a home in Queens\, New York. The story is told through the eyes of six-year-old Eddie\, exploring his fears and joys in a world that tells him he has no home. The play is performed in both English and Tagalog. Though written in 2019\, we believe the play’s exploration of immigration\, language\, and resistance is resonant now more than ever. We hope that through our storytelling\, we raise funds for these amazing language programs\, as well as remind our audiences that they are human. \nTickets are pay-what-you-can\, and all proceeds go directly to University Settlement.  \nIf you cannot attend\, there is an option to still donate. Every donation\, no matter how small\, counts! Please feel free to share this information with others.
