SUMMARY:Dance: Benjamin Akio Kimitch
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Pasculano Collaborative for Contemporary Dance \nAs part of our new Dance Encounters series\, choreographer Benjamin Akio Kimitch dreams beyond the mantra of East-meets-West. Inspired by his formative training in Chinese dance and intimate encounters with Peking opera\, Kimitch creates a dance work that honors his late mother\, a dancer. He has welcomed a group of creative collaborators into his cosmic\, sunrise-colored search for authentic personal expression\, using warrior elements of Peking opera as a transformative source of beauty and strength—restaged for an unforgettable outdoor experience. The work features music by Clarie M Singer and costumes by Carlos Soto; performed by Pareena Lim\, Julie McMillan Castellano\, and Lai Yi Ohlsen. \nWednesday\, July 29\, 2026 at 6:00 pm \n\n\nThursday\, July 30\, 2026 at 6:00 pm \n\n\n\n\nFriday\, July 31\, 2026 at 6:00 pm \nPhoto credit: Erin Baiano

SUMMARY:The Subconscious as Muse: A Workshop with Swati Sudarsan
DESCRIPTION:This workshop focuses on the generative potential of our subconscious creativities. Over a two-hour session\, we will first learn about the Jungian concepts of collective unconscious\, synchronicity\, and universal archetypes. We will use three different artist’s interpretations of tarot decks as prompts for a journaling exercise that will help us come up with characters\, and then a narrative for them. Then\, we will make word braids\, using strips of paper made of cut up interviews and poems by artists we admire. We will use these braids to create word banks\, and then draw on AAWW archival materials including poems\, testimonies\, and documents that trace the history of Asian American migration and belonging to inspire political poems that speak to immigration law\, resistance\, and the long fight for dignity and rights.

Since then\, Asianish has evolved into a growing network of artists\, curators\, writers\, and cultural workers who gather through exhibitions\, studio visits\, public programs\, meals\, and informal conversations that foster solidarity\, visibility\, and exchange. They acknowledge the multi-racial\, multi-ethnic identities shared and honor and respect different intersections. Asianish is interested in holding space for these hybridized identities that sometimes overlap and are also incredibly unique and specific to each individual. They recognize each other as invaluable resources for growth\, strength\, and wisdom. Through sharing practices\, experiences\, and ideas\, Asianish intends to deepen connections individually and collectively to strengthen and support community within and beyond Asianish. @asianish2018 \nAbout A4\nAsian American Arts Alliance (A4) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring greater representation\, equity\, and opportunities for Asian American artists and cultural organizations through resource sharing\, promotion\, and community building. Since 1983\, A4 has sought to unify\, promote\, and represent the artistic and cultural producers of one of New York City’s fastest-growing populations. We are a diverse alliance of artists\, organizations\, and arts supporters who believe that working together as a pan-ethnic\, multidisciplinary community is essential to nurturing the development of artists and arts groups. A4 serves as a thoughtful convener of the Asian American cultural workforce around issues of race\, identity\, and artmaking and provides a critical voice for this community. We are the only service organization in the country dedicated to the professional development of Asian American and Pacific Islander artists in all disciplines.

The musical arrangements include Ghibli favorites such as Spirited Away\, Princess Mononoke\, anime classics such as Your Name\, Cowboy Bebop\, and video games such as Kingdom Hearts\, Legend of Zelda\, and many more. \nDrawing from bebop\, post-bop\, and contemporary jazz — fusing influences from classical\, world music\, pop\, and R&B — Eternal Wind reshapes familiar themes into music that BroadwayWorld describes as “intimate\, restless\, nostalgic and alive\,” with “tender\, almost aching arrangements… nostalgia that made the room go quiet.” Paris-Move praises the ensemble’s “ability to build bridges between cultures while forging a sound entirely its own\,” calling the music “immediately accessible while remaining remarkably complex” with “a cinematic quality\, painting landscapes and characters through melody and offering listeners not just music but immersive worlds.” Their debut album The Ghibli Collection is out now on Origin Records. \nhttps://eternalwindmusic.com \nDoors 6:30pm / Show 7pm \nAll events are 21+\, and a valid physical ID is required for entry. 2-drink minimum per person.

SUMMARY:Anna May Wong Double Feature: Shanghai Express & Daughter of Shanghai
DESCRIPTION:A rare screening of two Anna May Wong films on the rooftop of Ornithology Jazz Club.\n\n\nAnna May Wong\, considered Hollywood’s first Asian American film star\, had a groundbreaking career that spanned five decades and nearly every medium\, from silent films\, talkies\, and television to radio\, theatre\, and vaudeville. In response to the racism and sexism she faced as a Chinese American woman\, Wong continually reinvented herself on-screen\, often with spectacular results. \nShanghai Express (1932) and Daughter of Shanghai (1937) are perhaps two of the most important films she made in Hollywood during the 1930s. Join this double feature with author Katie Gee Salisbury\, one of Wong’s biographers\, who will introduce each film and answer questions following each screening with a brief intermission in between. Copies of her book\, Not Your China Doll: The Wild and Shimmering Life of Anna May Wong\, will also be available for sale. \nTickets are nonrefundable. Price includes admission to both film screenings and the cover for Ornithology’s jazz club. Cocktails will be available for purchase at the bar downstairs. \nSchedule \n8:00 pm – Doors open\n8:30 pm – Host Introduction + Shanghai Express\n10:00 pm – Intermission\n10:15 pm – Host Introduction + Daughter of Shanghai \nAbout the Films \nShanghai Express (122 mins)\, an entertaining ensemble piece\, follows a group of foreigners\, each with something to hide (including two women of ill repute)\, traveling by train from Peiping to Shanghai. When the train makes an unexpected stop in the middle of the night\, the first-class passengers are thrust into an unforeseen drama and find themselves collectively at the mercy of a dangerous Chinese revolutionary. Directed by Josef von Sternberg\, Marlene Dietrich stars as Shanghai Lily\, with a show-stopping supporting performance from Anna May Wong as Hui Fei. \nDaughter of Shanghai (62 mins) is based on a story supposedly ripped from the headlines about a human-trafficking ring smuggling undocumented immigrants into the U.S. When Lan Ying Lin (Anna May Wong) and her father accidentally discover the culprits\, her father is murdered and Lan Ying vows to avenge his death by exposing the crime syndicate behind the operation. Government agent Kim Lee (Philip Ahn) works in tandem with Lan Ying to catch the syndicate and at the same time falls in love with her. Directed by Robert Florey and written specifically as a starring vehicle for Wong\, the film established Wong and Ahn as the first Asian American actors to play a leading romantic couple in the sound era.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Unfinished Business by Clare Osongco
DESCRIPTION:In this funny\, warmly chaotic novel\, a floundering office worker discovers her mother’s ghost is trapped in the company Slack server\, and must free her by resolving her own troubled love life. \nA few months ago\, Ruby Ocampo’s mother\, Adela\, died at her desk at work. Now\, lost and driven by a misplaced sense of obligation\, Ruby’s taken a job at the megacorporation where Adela worked for decades—and\, to her horror\, she discovers her mother’s ghost is trapped in the company Slack. \nRuby has never lived up to her mother’s expectations in life\, but to set her free\, she’ll have to resolve Adela’s unfinished business. She makes a list of all the ways she could live more like her mother would have wanted\, covering everything from her stunted career to her love life (#5 on the list: date someone in a higher tax bracket!). Soon her quest to free Adela gets Ruby entangled with two men at the office who might be able to help: the estranged childhood friend her mom never approved of—who’s the only one she can confide in about this supernatural crisis—and the hot but vaguely sinister junior executive who’s been paying her a confusing amount of attention. \nIn order to give her mom a chance at the afterlife\, Ruby must address her shortcomings one by one—and reevaluate her inherited ideas about love\, work\, and what’s truly important along the way. \n\nABOUT THE AUTHORS\n\n\n\n\nClare Osongco is a mixed Filipino American author living in Los Angeles who likes to write about falling in love\, messy family relationships\, and ghosts.
