SUMMARY:The Appearance: Art of the Asian Diaspora in Latin America & the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:Dan Lie\, Memory Stick ou Pau de Memória\, 2015. (Image: Edouard Fraipont) \nThe Appearance: Art of the Asian Diaspora in Latin America & the Caribbean is the first exhibition in New York City to center the artistic production of the Asian diaspora in the region from the 1940s to the present. Focusing on postwar and contemporary art\, the exhibition showcases the work of twenty-seven artists from fourteen countries working in a range of artistic mediums including painting\, sculpture\, performance\, photography\, and video\, to shed light into strategies and themes that resonate across a wide array of Asian diasporic practice throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. \nThe exhibition embraces and performs the multiple and interrelated meanings embedded in the notion of appearance\, inspired by Japanese Brazilian artist Lydia Okumura’s 1975 print by the same title. From acts of appearing and becoming visible—including different types of apparitions—to the idea of impressions and physical resemblance\, artists in the show grapple with the complexities of negotiating (in)visibility\, revisiting and remaking family archives and stories\, and engaging and reconfiguring spiritual practices. The show also addresses abstraction as a formal strategy linked to language\, the senses\, and the body in the context of the Americas’ postwar art. \nConceived as an appearance in and of itself\, the show sheds light on the often-overlooked experiences and artistic trajectories of Asian diasporic subjects and collectives across Latin America and the Caribbean\, casting them as both grounded in their particular context and constitutive of broader transnational histories. \nTo accompany the show\, we will present a series of public programs and publish a catalogue. \nThis exhibition is co-curated by Tie Jojima\, associate curator and manager of Exhibitions at Americas Society in New York\, and Yudi Rafael\, independent curator and researcher based in São Paulo\, Brazil.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit - Legacies: Asian American Art Movements in New York City (1969-2001)
DESCRIPTION:Legacies: Asian American Art Movements in New York City (1969-2001) is an expansive survey of rarely-seen artwork and archival material by artists that constitute and exceed “Asian American\,” a label denoting a cultural and national identity invented in 1968. Utilizing an interdisciplinary and research-driven praxis\, Legacies uncovers how artists of Asian descent have historically negotiated identity in America as a set of situated practices and institutional structures amidst transnational diasporas\, racial phantasms\, and political imaginaries.\n\nPresenting over 90 artists and collectives\, Legacies is the first institutional survey exhibition focusing on artists of Asian descent who were based in New York City.\n\n\nLegacies features works – paintings\, drawings\, sculpture\, and new media\, among other mediums – that serve to complicate the idea of defining “Asian American art” as singular and static through the lens of art history\, cultural studies\, and sociology. Recognizing that “identity-based” categories of art are bound to the dominant racial ideology and political narrative of a nation\, the exhibition instead focuses on a multiplicity of subjectivities\, political horizons\, and artistic expressions to interrogate life in America.\n\nIn addition to aesthetic concerns such as figuration\, abstraction and materiality\, the exhibition tracks how these artists addressed migration\, displacement\, racism\, cultural autonomy\, Western imperialism\, societal violence\, and representations of sexuality and gender through the decades.\n\nLegacies also constellates three key artist collectives and organizations: Godzilla: Asian American Art Network; the Basement Workshop; and Asian American Arts Centre. All three organizations were artistic\, social\, and political hubs for diasporic Asian artists in New York that intersected with other marginalized communities.\n\nThe exhibition also features newly commissioned installations\, including a large-scale Washington Square Windows installation by new-media artist Shu Lea Cheang connected to the 30th anniversary of her groundbreaking film\, Fresh Kill (1994).\n\nFilmmaker Rea Tajiri presents an assemblage sculpture that expands on her groundbreaking History and Memory: For Akiko and Takashige (1991)\, a meditation on her family history and Japanese and Japanese American internment during World War II.\n\nOrganized by Howie Chen\, Curator at 80WSE\, Jayne Cole Southard\, PhD.\, CUNY\, and christina ong\, PhD. \n \nProduced by Jon Huron\, 80WSE.  Gini Yu Pei Lee\, Curatorial Assistant. Gracia Brown and Daniella Occhineri\, Research Assistants. Kate Edelson\, Exhibition Registrar.\n \nThe exhibition’s presentation is made possible by Teiger Foundation.  \n\nSpecial thanks for the support of the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU\, Squid Frames\, CHENZO.STUDIO\, and Fales Library and Special Collections. Equipment provided in part by Lower East Side Ecology Center and The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.\n\n\nImage credit:  Bridge Magazine Vol. 1 No. 6. New York: Basement Workshop\, 1972

SUMMARY:Broadway: Yellow Face
DESCRIPTION:Discount 30% off with code: AANHPI \nTony Award® winner and three-time Pulitzer finalist David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly) will make his Roundabout debut with the Broadway premiere of Yellow Face\, his hilarious is-he-or-isn’t-he comedy of identity\, show business\, and (perhaps) autobiography. Starring Daniel Dae Kim (Lost) and directed by Tony nominee Leigh Silverman (Violet).  \nInspired by real events\, the playwright’s fictionalized doppelgänger protests yellowface casting in Miss Saigon\, only to mistakenly cast a white actor as the Asian lead in his own play. This Obie Award-winning and Pulitzer finalist play is a laugh-out-loud farce about the complexities of race.

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:Shinnai Meets Puppetry: One Night in Winter & The Peony Lantern
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 7 at 7:30 pm\nFriday\, November 8 at 7:30 pm—Followed by an artist Q&A\nSaturday\, November 9 at 2:30 pm and 7:30 pm \nLimited seating. (Seating: General Admission) \nFollowing her highly popular run of SHEEP #1 at Japan Society in 2021\, NYC-based artist Sachiyo Takahashi/Nekaa Lab presents two whimsical and spooky tales: a heart-warming-then-wrenching fable on the friendship between a shapeshifting tanuki trickster and a lonely old man; and a classical Japanese ghost story to chill you to the bone.

SUMMARY:Dance: Work in Progress: The Stranger
DESCRIPTION:The Stranger sits at the intersection of dance and installation\, delving into the stories of immigrants and resident aliens in the United States across generations. Join us for a Work in Process of The Stranger on November 7 at Hi-ARTS. \n“Coming to the United States from China for high school\, my teenage years have been filled with questions about my place in both the U.S. and my motherland – frustration with the foreign language\, illusional strivings to fit in\, anger and helplessness in defending my identity or fears towards indeterminate visa application. Yet\, the above is only one piece of a larger story.

SUMMARY:A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group Workshop: Karen Hui
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group. Hosted by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. \nREGISTER \nGraduate students are invited to join the next workshop hosted by the A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group featuring Karen Hui (CUNY Graduate Center). Hui will present\, “Anxious Futures: Middle Class Parenting in Shenzhen\,” a chapter from her dissertation\, which examines the politics and ethics of middle-class child-rearing in contemporary Shenzhen\, China\, and its relationship to national imaginaries of the future. \nThe A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group hosts monthly workshops for graduate students to foster interdisciplinary discussion and interdepartmental collaboration on each other’s research and interests in Asian/Pacific/American Studies. \nNYU campus access guidelines: This is an in-person event\, open to graduate students from NYU and nearby universities. Registration is required. Non-NYU guests may be asked to present a government-issued photo ID. NYU guests must present their NYU ID. \nAccessibility note: This venue has an elevator and is accessible for wheelchair users. There are single-stall\, all gender restrooms available. If you have any access needs\, please email apa.rsvp@nyu.edu. \n  \nAbstract \nIn the second chapter of her dissertation\, “Anxious Futures: Middle Class Parenting in Shenzhen\,” Karen Hui argues that the makings of a middle class subjectivity in Shenzhen is anchored by the particular narratives that emerge surrounding Shenzhen’s status as China’s first Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Following the lead of critical urban studies in Shenzhen that identify the SEZ as oscillating between “experiment” and “model”\, this chapter explores how these contradictory poles embedded in Shenzhen narratives are operationalized as key sites where the reproduction of the moral conditions of development (individualism\, hard work\, entrepreneurialism) happen. Through interviews with mothers who recount their experiences of moving to and working in Shenzhen between the late 1980s and early 2000s\, Hui examines how “generational” narratives of an early-reform Shenzhen emphasize a sense of opportunity and fairness encoded in market relations\, qualities that are formed in opposition to notions of guanxi (personal connections) and state power. Inheritors of these values\, middle class mothers struggle to reconcile these Reform narratives to the contemporary moment marked by growing anxiety around economic crisis. In particular\, this ambivalence places more pressure on mothers who are deemed primarily responsible for caring for and managing children. By  focusing on how mothers contrast their own migrant experiences to the futures their children will experience\, this chapter explores parental ambivalence towards China’s future validity\, and ultimately reveals how Shenzhen remains a central site for imagining Chinese nation-state futures. \n  \nPhotograph by Karen Hui.

SUMMARY:In-Store: Albert Abonado: Field Guide for Accidents w/ Jason Koo

BROWNE FOR THE NATIONAL POETRY SERIES \nAn irreverent poetry collection that wrestles with questions of family\, mortality\, cultural history\, and identity from the Filipinx-American experience. \nBorn in the United States to Filipino immigrants\, poet Albert Abonado is no stranger to the language of periphery. Neither wholly “American” nor Filipino\, Field Guide for Accidents’s speakers are defined by what they are not: not white enough to be born in America\, not Asian enough to feel at home in the Philippines. Abonado’s poetry illuminates the strange and surreal in domestic routine\, suturing wounds of love\, grief\, and the contradiction of being Filipinx-American\, two identities bound with a hyphen that resists negation. What results is a growing exposure to a world mired in paradox. \nThe poems in Field Guide for Accidents experiment with the constraints of the poetic line\, shaping forms that exhume what tend to haunt us in the silence. In Field Guide for Accidents\, memory becomes augmented with the imaginary; suspicion collides with superstition\, while spirituality crosses paths with scientific fact. A mother returns to her son as a boat. A stew is prepared with blood yet masked as chocolate. The living eat with the dead in memories built like houses. Mythic\, bloodthirsty creatures in Pinoy folklore prey on an exhausted poet. Research conducted in hindsight provides new avenues to explore regret. \nFor many third-culture kids of the Asian-American diaspora\, there is no such thing as a success story for “fitting in.” What matters more is finding where you belong. Spooning images from hand to mouth\, the poems in Field Guide for Accidents struggle with what it means to consume and be consumed by American culture. \n \nAlbert Abonado is the author of Jaw (Sundress Publications). He holds an MFA from the Bennington Writing Seminars and has received fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. His writing has appeared in the Boston Review\, Colorado Review\, Poetry Northwest\, The Margins\, Hobart\, Waxwing\, Triquarterly\, and others. Albert currently teaches creative writing at SUNY Geneseo and the Rochester Institute for Technology. He is the former Director of Adult Programs at Writers & Books. \n \nJason Koo is a second-generation Korean American poet\, educator\, editor and nonprofit director. He is the author of four full-length collections of poetry: No Rest\, a winner of the Diode Editions Book Contest\, More Than Mere Light\, America’s Favorite Poem and Man on Extremely Small Island. His work has been published in Best American Poetry 2022\, Missouri Review\, Poetry Northwest\, Village Voice and Yale Review\, among other places\, and won fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts\, Vermont Studio Center and New York State Writers Institute. He is an associate teaching professor of English and the director of creative writing at Quinnipiac University and the founder and executive director of Brooklyn Poets. For his work with Brooklyn Poets\, Koo was named one of the “100 Most Influential People in Brooklyn Culture” by Brooklyn Magazine.

How do we write to express emotions\, and not just represent ideas? From exploring the musicality of language to navigating the tension between form and freedom\, panelists Ayesha Raees\, Jan Henry Gray\, Sreshtha Sen\, and Jasmine Reid will discuss the craft techniques that elevate their work.

From navigating the complexities of finding the right literary agents to negotiating their first contracts\, the authors will share the highs and lows of their journeys. What were some similarities across the authors’ experiences? What were some differences? The discussion will also touch on how identity and representation played a role in shaping their publishing journeys\, offering a deeper look at the intersection of personal and professional challenges. To what extent were the similarities due to the general vagaries of publishing\, and to what extent were the differences influenced by the specific genres in which each writer published? Expect an engaging conversation that sheds light on the realities of breaking into the literary world as a debut author. \n3:45 pm – 4:45 pm: Behind the Covers: Labor Practices in Small Press Publishing \nJoin Tara Jayakar\, Meher Manda\, Jenna Hamed\, and Sunny Iyer as they discuss the inner workings of small presses that champion marginalized voices in American literature.

SUMMARY:Localized History Workshop Series – The Missing Stories: South Asian American History from the 18th Century to Today
DESCRIPTION:South Asian Americans have been a presence in the United States for more than 250 years. Early immigrants from South Asia worked on farms and factories\, helped build railroads\, fought for India’s freedom from British rule\, and struggled for equal rights in the United States. Today\, more than 6.1 million individuals in the U.S. trace their heritage to South Asia\, the fastest growing immigrant group in the country. South Asian American stories are an integral part of the American story\, yet little information is available to the public about these stories. \nIn “The Missing Stories\,” SAADA’s Executive Director Samip Mallick will cover how communities come to be excluded from the archival record and how we can address these absences. Samip will introduce South Asian American history (1800s to present) and will also discuss how community-based archives can become sites for liberatory memory work by introducing the audience to SAADA’s archival collections\, programs\, and participatory storytelling projects.

SUMMARY:Ken Liu – Laozi’s Dao De Jing
DESCRIPTION:MOCA invites you to a thought-provoking conversation with award-winning author Ken Liu as he illustrates his new translation of Laozi’s Dao De Jing. Written around 400 BC\, this foundational Chinese philosophical text resonates with themes of humility\, resilience\, and the search for harmony. Liu’s fresh interpretation offers more than just a translation; it provides a deeply personal journey through Laozi’s wisdom\, addressing contemporary challenges with profound insight. \nLiu\, renowned for his speculative fiction and translations of contemporary Chinese science fiction (including the bestselling The Three-Body Problem)\, takes readers beyond traditional\, authoritative annotations\, offering instead an unapologetically subjective approach through a series of interstitial entries. His work encourages readers to embrace the constant change and flow of life\, ultimately finding solace in the Dao. Moderated by Yifan Wu\, MOCA’s Director of Programs\, this event promises a captivating exploration of the timeless relevance of Laozi’s teachings and the art of translation.
