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:Photo Exhibit: Xyza Cruz Bacani: The Diaspora is Home
DESCRIPTION:Picnic\, 2022. Courtesy of the artist. \nOctober 4 – November 2\, 2025\nFlux IV\, 56-21 2nd Street\nOpen Saturdays\, 12:00 – 6:00 pm or by appointment \nFlux Factory is pleased to present The Diaspora is Home\, a solo exhibition by Xyza Cruz Bacani. This exhibition presents photographs of the Asian American diaspora\, from portraits in living rooms to scenes of community gatherings\, food traditions\, and religious practices. Installed within a living room environment\, Bacani’s work evokes belonging and cultural continuity\, transforming the gallery into a space of warmth\, reflection\, and collective memory. The Diaspora is Home runs from October 4 – November 2\, 2025 with an opening reception on Saturday\, October 4\, accompanied by the presence of community members who appear in the photographs\, sharing food they have prepared\, and a tea demonstration by Anna Ye. \nThe Diaspora is Home invites you into the lived experience of immigrants in Queens. When we leave our motherlands\, we take more than our belongings. We bring our languages\, flavors\, the strength of our ancestors\, and resilience forged in hardship. Leaving is never simple. Arriving is a different story. We carry the pains of separations; traumas that we can still taste in our mouths. We learned to find joy in our small victories\, pride in our survival\, and accept the scars of migration as beauty in building anew. This exhibition traces these dualities: joy and struggle\, memory and reinvention. \nDeveloped through visits to homes and close engagement with community members\, Bacani’s works reflect an intimate process of trust and reciprocity. The accompanying living room installation mirrors the spaces in which the photographs were taken\, creating a familiar and welcoming environment. By inviting visitors to gather\, sit\, and reflect\, the installation transforms Flux IV into a site of hospitality and shared presence\, underscoring the centrality of home within the diasporic experience. Each work in The Diaspora is Home speaks to the search for home\, the courage to remain visible\, and the tenderness of community. In today’s world\, where immigrants are portrayed negatively and our existence is questioned daily\, we choose to tell our own stories. \nJoin us on this journey. Bring your own stories. Together\, we honor the spaces between us\, find  our home in the diaspora where kindness grows\, hope lives\, and celebrate our undeniable existence. \nXyza Cruz Bacani: The Diaspora is Home is presented as part of the artist’s 2025 NYSCA Fellowship. Special thanks to Fujifilm US\, Martin Kaminer\, and the Tim Hermann Charitable Family Foundation for their support. \nAbout the Artist\nXyza Cruz Bacani (b. 1987\, the Philippines) is an award-winning interdisciplinary artist and writer based in New York. Her experience as a second-generation domestic worker in Hong Kong informs her practice and engagement in less visible\, erased\, and underreported world events.

She has been recognized as one of Asia Society’s Asia 21 Young Leaders\, Artpil 30 Under 30 Women Photographers\, Forbes’s 30 Under 30 Asia\, and BBC’s 100 Women of the World.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Niyū Yūrk: Middle Eastern and North African Lives in the City
DESCRIPTION:The first-ever exhibition at The New York Public Library to explore the history of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) immigration to NYC\, Niyū Yūrk highlights how the city has shaped the lives\, identities\, and creative practices of MENA communities\, artists\, and writers\, while celebrating their enduring contributions to the city’s cultural landscape and place in global culture. From Little Syria in Manhattan to Yemeni bodegas in Brooklyn\, from Armenian and Arab nightclubs along Eighth Avenue to community music festivals on Atlantic Avenue\, and from women’s activism and advocacy groups to experimental composers and playwrights like Halim El-Dabh and Reza Abdoh\, the exhibition shows how these rich stories are preserved within NYPL’s collections. \nNiyū Yūrk explores the often overlooked history of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) immigration to New York City\, from the first waves in the late 19th century to the present. The exhibition highlights how New York City has shaped the lives\, identities\, and creative practices of MENA communities\, artists\, and writers. It also emphasizes their enduring contributions to the city’s cultural landscape and place in global culture. \nThrough an array of materials—including local newspapers\, rare books\, archival documents\, prints\, artists’ books\, photographs\, music records\, and film—the exhibition showcases how these voices have been preserved and presented. Niyū Yūrk creates a dynamic dialogue across time\, illustrating the evolving nature of MENA migration to the city as well as the Library’s role in documenting this history. While reflecting on new directions in collecting practices\, it also aims to address gaps in those practices and envision a more inclusive archival future. \nThis exhibition is organized by The New York Public Library and curated by Hiba Abid\, Curator for Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies.

SUMMARY:Dance: Of Dishes and Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Of Dishes and Dreams is a new evening-length creation choreographed by Spring 2024 Baryshnikov Arts residency artist Keerati Jinakunwiphat. Inspired by her experiences growing up in a family-run Thai restaurant\, Jinakunwiphat explores service\, synergy\, and the balance between order and chaos. Set to an original score by Quaba Ernest and Bryndon Cook\, the piece evokes the energetic pulse of kitchens and home-cooked meals. The evening’s visual landscape will be designed by Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya\, incorporating traditional textiles\, sculpture\, and domestic objects. Together\, the dancers transform an everyday space into a sphere of healing and belonging\, driven by themes of lineage\, community\, and the American Dream. \n“It’s rare for a young artist to emerge so quickly with a distinctive choreographic voice\, but Keerati has that confidence\, vision\, and originality. You don’t want to miss this exceptional work.” —Mikhail Baryshnikov \nPerformers\nJennifer Florentino\, Zack Gonder\, Keerati Jinakunwiphat\, Alysia Johnson\, Claude “CJ” Johnson\, Ryan Yamauchi \nCreative\nKeerati Jinakunwiphat\, Choreographer\nBryndon Cook\, Music Director\nQuaba Venza Ernest\, Music Composer\nAmanda Phingbodhipakkiya\, Set Designer\nDan Stearns\, Lighting Designer\nKaren Young\, Costume Designer

SUMMARY:An Afternoon Journey with Shen Wei: STILL / MOVING
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an extraordinary cultural excursion beyond the city\, where visual art and live performance meet in one unforgettable afternoon with the world-renowned artist and choreographer Shen Wei\, known for his incredible work as Principal Choreographer for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony. \nOn Saturday\, October 18\, 2025\, guests will travel by private charter bus from Manhattan to the Rockefeller Brothers Fund’s Pocantico Center and the Katonah Museum of Art (KMA) for an exclusive first look at the landmark exhibition Shen Wei: STILL/MOVING. \nYour $50 ticket includes:\n\nRoundtrip charter bus transportation from Manhattan’s Columbus Circle\nEntry to both exhibitions at Pocantico and the KMA\nExclusive live performance of Connect Transfer by Shen Wei Arts at the KMA\nArtists Talk between Shen Wei and the KMA’s Director and Chief Curator Michelle Yun Mapplethorpe\nDrinks and hors d’oeuvres served at the Katonah Museum during post-performance reception\nComplimentary bottled water on the bus (guests are welcome to bring their own snacks)\n\nYour Saturday Journey with Shen Wei:\n\n2:00 PM | Depart Manhattan (Columbus Circle)\n3:00 – 4:00 PM | Explore Shen Wei: STILL/MOVING exhibition at The Pocantico Center\, Tarrytown\, NY \n4:00 – 4:30 PM | Bus from Pocantico Center to Katonah\n4:30 – 5:00 PM | Explore Shen Wei: STILL/MOVING exhibition at the KMA\n5:00 – 6:30 PM | Live Performance of Connect Transfer and Artist Talk at the KMA\n6:30 – 7:00 PM | Cocktail Reception at the KMA\n7:00 PM – 8:00 PM | Return to Manhattan\n\nShen Wei: STILL/MOVING commemorates thirty years of Shen Wei’s visionary career as a dancer\, choreographer\, visual artist\, filmmaker\, and global cultural ambassador. This unprecedented joint exhibition between the Katonah Museum of Art and The Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund illuminates the full scope of the artist’s trailblazing practice\, offering rare access to Shen Wei’s paintings\, works on paper\, choreographic compositions\, short films\, and video highlights from the Shen Wei Dance Arts repertoire—including new pieces never before exhibited in the United States. \nShen Wei’s visual art transcends cultural and geographic boundaries\, capturing the body in motion with dynamic brushwork that seamlessly incorporates Chinese calligraphy\, allusions to post-World War II abstract movements such as Action Painting and Gutai\, and traditional Chinese shan shui (mountain-water) painting. The resulting works evoke both abstraction and visionary landscapes\, often monumental in scale and cinematic in quality\, compelling the viewer’s gaze to move and dance across the surface. \nAt The Pocantico Center\, the exhibition emphasizes Shen Wei’s dialogue with nature through his recent landscape paintings\, whose immersive scale invites sustained contemplation. \nAt the Katonah Museum of Art\, the presentation highlights the interdisciplinary nature of his oeuvre—the generative influence of music on his choreography\, and the central role of movement in his paintings. Together\, these two venues offer audiences a complete experience of Shen Wei’s multidisciplinary vision.

SUMMARY:YY Dance Company: Elsewhere (World Premiere)
DESCRIPTION:Yue Yin returns to 92NY with the world premiere of Elsewhere\, the final chapter in a trilogy exploring the meaning of our existence\, the journey of identity\, and our deep connection with the universe. Blending Chinese classical and folk dance with contemporary forms and the layered influences of the immigrant experience\, the choreography is both fluid and fierce\, deeply expressive and technically sharp. \nThe main themes of Yue Yin’s work are demonstrations of sensibility and strength\, emotional experiences\, conflicts\, and connections in all their complexity.
