SUMMARY:An Evening of Japanese Art & Music
DESCRIPTION:Art by Nishiki Sugawara-Beda; Music from Shoko Nagai & Satoshi Takeishi; + Art discussion moderated by Kyoko Sato of Japan Contemporaries.\n\n\nJoin us to hear live music by renowned Japanese due renowned duo Shoko Nagai and Satoshi Takeishi that was inspired by Scale and Tonality\, a solo exhibition featuring new  work by artist Nishiki Sugawara-Beda. \nFollowing the performance\, Kyoko Sato\, a New York-based curator and Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of Japan Contemporaries\, will moderated an art discussion with Sugarwara-Beda about her brand-new body of work\, KuroKuroShiro+\, which she began in early 2024 with the invitation to artistically respond to Palo Duro Canyon in west Texas\, the second largest canyon in the US. Multiple visits to the canyon allowed her to touch\, feel\, and extract materials from the canyon system and created this series of work that incorporated the materials from Texas.  \nSugawara-Beda collaborated with New York-based composer\, pianist\, and accordionist\, Shoko Nagai\, who created two pieces of music after visiting the canyon with Sugawara-Beda. Springboarded from this experience\, Scale and Tonality explores how the titular themes intersect in both the visual and aural realms.  \nUltimately\, this exhibition explores the relationship between scales and tonalites across music and painting through the materials the artist has harvested and collected from her current home state\, Texas\, and her native country\, Japan.

SUMMARY:Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the NYU Center for Black Visual Culture. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. \nREGISTER \nJeff Chang and cultural critic Bakari Kitwana discuss Chang’s new publication Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America (Mariner\, 2025). This conversation will be followed by a book signing\, during which copies will be available for purchase. \nAs the best-known martial artist and one of the most celebrated action stars ever\, Bruce Lee is a global icon. He symbolizes swagger\, strength\, and the unbeatable spirit of the underdog. But in more than fifty years since his untimely death at age thirty-two\, the legend has eclipsed the real man. During his lifetime\, Lee fought to be seen—from Hong Kong to Hollywood\, Asian tenements to American ghettos\, the lonely garret to the international screen. He emerged as a star in an era when Asian Americans were fighting against exclusion and invisibility. Now\, drawing on private letters\, rare documents and photos\, and interviews with his closest confidants\, Water Mirror Echo reveals the Bruce many never saw and places his complicated life within a revolution from which it cannot be separated: the emergence of Asian America. \n\n\n\nJeff Chang’s first book\, Can’t Stop Won’t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation\, was called one of the best nonfiction books of the last quarter century. His latest\, Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America\, was named one of 2025’s Best by Publisher’s Weekly\, Alta\, Vogue\, Kirkus\, and NPR. He authored the award-winning Who We Be: A Cultural History of Race in Post Civil Rights America\, and We Gon’ Be Alright: Notes On Race and Resegregation. He has written for the New York Times\, the Wall Street Journal\, the Washington Post\, The Guardian\, the San Francisco Chronicle\, and many more. He is the host of the Signal award-winning podcast\, Edge of Reason\, and of KALW Public Media’s podcast\, Notes From the Edge. \nBakari Kitwana an internationally known cultural critic\, journalist\, activist\, and thought leader in the area of hip-hop\, youth culture\, and Black political engagement. Kitwana is the executive director of Rap Sessions\, which for the last fourteen years has conducted over 150 townhall meetings around the nation on difficult dialogues facing the hip-hop and millennial generations. Kitwana is the author of Why White Kids Love Hip-Hop and co-editor (with David Orr\, Andrew Gumbel and William Becker) of Democracy Unchained: How to Rebuild Government For the People (The New Press\, 2020). His groundbreaking 2002 book The Hip-Hop Generation popularized the expression and has been adopted as a coursebook in classrooms at over 100 college and universities. \n  \n\nNYU campus access guidelines: This is an in-person event\, open to the public. Registration is required. Non-NYU guests may be asked to present a government-issued photo ID.

SUMMARY:Rachel Khong + Mary H.K. Choi: My Dear You
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a release event with award winning writer Rachel Khong\, discussing her new short story collection MY DEAR YOU.\n\n\nModerating this discussion is New York Times bestselling author Mary H.K. Choi. This event will be hosted in the Strand Book Store’s 3rd floor Rare Book Room at 828 Broadway on 12th Street. \n \nCan’t make the event? Purchase a signed copy of My Dear You here. \n \nACCESSIBILITY: \nStrand Book Store is an ADA compliant venue.

God does away with humans in favor of something much better. A woman adopts a cat who conjures the ghosts of her ex-loves. A factory worker decides to befriend a sex doll she is tasked with selling. \nThese stories go deep beneath the surface\, touching on the particular awkwardness of dating in your thirties and asking: What does it mean to be an Asian woman in America? Or an American? Or a human? Along the way\, the characters stop to consider interventions from the supernatural\, the earthly\, the robotic\, and the immortal. \nPlayful\, profane\, and yet enveloped with profound compassion for life\, however you define it\, My Dear You takes on dating\, marriage\, and the pressures of having or not having children; intimacy\, memory\, race\, and capitalism; living\, dying\, and being dead. At their very core\, they are tales of love in its many forms: being in love when you’re not supposed to be\, or not being in love but wishing you were; failing at dating apps or finding yourself in weird but wonderful lifelong friendships; struggling in heaven to remember your loved ones. \nRanging from the sinister to the tender\, these witty and expertly paced stories will have you laughing out loud one minute and reaching for your best friend the next. \n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Andrea Lo \nRachel Khong is the author of Goodbye\, Vitamin\, winner of the California Book Award for First Fiction. Real Americans\, her second novel\, was a New York Times bestseller. In 2018\, Khong founded The Ruby\, a work and event space for women and nonbinary writers and artists in San Francisco’s Mission District. With friends\, she teaches creative writing as The Dream Side. She lives in Los Angeles. \n\n\n\nMary H.K.

SUMMARY:The Digital Infrastructure of New York City’s “New Chinatown”
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Yuchen Chen will present on their project examining Chinese immigrants and real estate entrepreneurs in West Queens\, exploring their placemaking practices in the emerging “new Chinatown.” Prof. Chen focuses on how Chinese ethnic media platforms mediate these processes and introduces the concept of “infrastructure” to understand diasporic identity and placemaking. By shifting the focus to the materiality of digital platforms\, the study reveals how they facilitate the circulation of people and cultures within the Chinese diaspora.

SUMMARY:Launch Party | The Dead Can't Make a Living by Ed Lin (RSVP without a book)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Ed Lin’s launch of his book “The Dead Can’t Make a Living” at Think!Chinatown’s “Night Market”. RSVP without a book here!\n\n\nRSVP to the Launch Party (without purchasing a book) at Think!Chinatown.\nJoin us for Ed Lin’s launch of his book “The Dead Can’t Make a Living” at Think!Chinatown\, where we’ll have a mini “Night Market” with Chinatown delicacies (e.g. skewers!) and fun vibes. You’ll get to meet Ed and get your book signed by the author! Come and mingle\, it’s a party!\n\nABOUT THE BOOK \nEd Lin’s big-hearted\, eye-opening fifth installment in the fan-favorite Taipei Night Market series. \nJing-nan\, the owner of the most popular food stand in Taipei’s world-famous Shilin night market\, is hauling trash after a successful evening of hawking Taiwanese delicacies to tourists when he finds a corpse propped up against the dumpsters. The dead man turns out to be Juan Ramos\, a Philippine national who came to Taiwan for a job at a massive ZHD food processing plant. Jing-nan is haunted by Ramos’s story\, and by the heartbreak of his family\, who arrive in Taipei looking for answers. ZHD has a history of safety violations\, and activists have a hunch Ramos’s death might be part of a cover-up. Meanwhile\, Jing-nan’s gangster uncle\, Big Eye\, has his own mysterious\, probably illegal\, reasons for being concerned about what’s going on in ZHD. He pressures Jing-nan into a daring and risky mission: going undercover as a migrant laborer to get a job at the food processing plant and report back about the conditions inside. Jing-nan hopes to find out the truth for the Ramos family\, and to save other immigrant lives-but first he has to survive the spy operation. The Dead Can’t Make a Living is at once a rollicking crime novel and a scorchingly timely examination of our global dependence on undocumented immigrants and the inhumane labor conditions that underpin modern conveniences. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nEd Lin\, a native New Yorker of Taiwanese and Chinese descent\, is the first author to win three Asian American Literary Awards. His new book\, The Dead Can’t Make a Living\, is the latest in the Taipei Night Market mystery series published by Soho Crime. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife\, actress Cindy Cheung\, and son. \nPurchase a book & RSVP for the event! \nCan’t make the event? You can still pre-order a signed copy here!

SUMMARY:Image Sleuthing: Mining Old Family Photos for Deeper Stories of Chinese America - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Do you have albums and drawers full of old family photos that you don’t know what to do with? Are you thinking it’s time to Marie Kondo your holdings – especially the photos with people no one recognizes anymore\, like classmates and colleagues of your parents; distant aunties and uncles; or cronies of your grandparents or maybe even great-grandparents? \nIf this describes your situation\, this is a plea to slow down. Don’t do something drastic that you might regret. You could be sitting on gold! Or at least golden glimpses of the past that could shed new light on your own family; fill a gap in someone else’s story; or illustrate something interesting about the history of AAPI communities in the United States. \nJoin us for “Image Sleuthing: Mining Old Family Photos for Deeper Stories of Chinese America\,” a webinar with Dede Huang. She will walk through a few “brick wall” photo mysteries from her own family’s trove\, and show how she is starting to crack them – without AI tools\, just input from aunties and uncles\, and some patience. \nWe will have questions for the audience\, along with ideas about how we might crowd-source further clues to shine a light on a history that belongs to more than just ourselves. \n

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Strangers in the Land: Exclusion\, Belonging\, and the Epic Story of the Chinese in America
DESCRIPTION:Strangers in the Land: Exclusion\, Belonging\, and the Epic Story of the Chinese in America\nJoin us for a book reading by Michael Luo in conversation with Kat Chow\, with welcoming remarks by Qin Gao\, Acting Director of the Asian American Initiative.\nIn Strangers in the Land\, award-winning journalist Michael Luo tells the story of a people who\, beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century\, migrated by the tens of thousands to a distant land they called Gum Shan—Gold Mountain. Americans initially welcomed these Chinese arrivals\, but\, as their numbers grew\, horrific episodes of racial terror erupted on the Pacific coast. Federal lawmakers enacted legislation aimed at excluding Chinese laborers from the country\, the first time the United States barred a people based on their race. The Chinese became the country’s earliest undocu­mented immigrants: hounded\, counted\, suspected\, surveilled. \nToday there are more than twenty-two million people of Asian descent in the United States and yet the “stranger” label\, Luo writes\, remains. Drawing on archives from across the country and written with style and sweep\, Strangers in the Land is a revelatory and unforgettable American story. \n\nMICHAEL LUO is an executive editor at The New Yorker and writes regularly for the magazine on politics\, religion\, and Asian American issues. He joined The New Yorker in 2016. Before that\, he spent thirteen years at the New York Times\, as a metro reporter\, national correspondent\, and investigative reporter and editor. He is a recipient of a George Polk Award and a Livingston Award for Young Journalists. \nKAT CHOW is a journalist\, writer and the author of Seeing Ghosts: A Memoir (Grand Central Publishing)\, named a Notable Book by The New York Times and a finalist for the Connecticut Book Award. She is currently the Newsday/Laventhol Visiting Assistant Professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Writing Without Fear
DESCRIPTION:Join Amin Ahmad for a workshop on developing a writing process that allows you to be fearless and productive!\n\n\nAre you working on a novel\, memoir or non-fiction project? Did you start off with great enthusiasm\, only to feel the project bog down? Are you overwhelmed by the complexity of the task? Has anxiety crept into your writing day? \nTo produce good work\, writers must be willing to take risks and to produce writing that fails. This process of exploration often creates anxiety\, and often results in the dreaded writer’s block. How do we allow spontaneity and improvisation into our work and still create coherence How do we craft a writing process that allows risk\, but also creates a safety net? \nBorrowing from psychology\, we will understand the types of anxiety inherent in the writing process\, and how to manage them. We will examine working methods from other creative fields — architects\, screenwriters\, film editors\, and radio story tellers — and steal from them. \nThe goal of this workshop is to create a writing process that works for you\, and that allows you to be fearless and productive. \nThis 90-minute workshop includes lecture\, writing exercises\, videos and graphic novel excerpts. Fiction\, memoirists\, and non-fiction writers welcome. \nPlease reach out to msaleh@aaww.org for assistance if you are able to join but the registration price is prohibitive. \n__ \nAmin Ahmad worked as an architect before turning to fiction. He designs his novels using the same skills he learned to design buildings. He is the author of the novels A KILLER IN THE FAMILY\, THE LAST TAXI RIDE\, and THE CARETAKER. His short story collection\, THIS IS NOT YOUR COUNTRY\, won the 2020 Chandra Prize. He created the ‘Novel Year’ program at The Writer’s Center in Bethesda\, MD\, taught at Story Studio Chicago\, and was the 2017-19 Visiting Artist in Residence at Northwestern University. He now teaches creative writing to undergraduates at Duke University. \n__ \nCOMMUNITY CARE & ACCESSIBILITY \nAt AAWW\, the safety and comfort of our community is our top priority. We invite you to practice intentionality and care in your behavior and language when engaging with our programs and with each other.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: Siyan Wong: Make It 10 Cents
DESCRIPTION:Make it 10 Cents is a painting exhibition to raise awareness and to support a one-day pop-up redemption on May 26th in Chinatown. This pop-up simulates the passage of the Bigger Better Bottle Bill by redeeming all materials at the 10-cent rate. \nSiyan Wong’s paintings depict elderly low wage workers who collect cans to survive. Each of her social realist paintings\, in vibrant colors\, captures a fleeting moment that exudes the human experience of living – depicting lives whose efflorescence is held back by the politics of their days. Together\, they show the human spirit always venturing toward a better life. \nThrough these paintings\, she gives visibility to the work of the historically marginalized\, and puts a spotlight on the cans and bottles that end up in costly landfills that devastate our environment. The individuals appearing in her paintings are elderly Chinese immigrants in Chinatown and the Lower East Side who worked in garment factories\, restaurants\, and homecare before turning to rummaging for cans and bottles on the streets. \nWong states that\, “Art is only as powerful as the inspiration for actions that comes from it. ‘Make It 10 Cents’ is an art exhibition about doing right by our vulnerable population of elderly and working poor\, and to protect our environment that is experiencing rapid\, severe degradation driven in part by failure in policies.” \nLocation: Welcome to Chinatown\nRegular Hours: Monday to Friday: 10:00AM – 6:00PM\nDuration: April 14 – May 29\, 2026

SUMMARY:Author Talk: The Moys of New York and Shanghai (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Born to Chinese immigrant parents\, the Moy siblings grew up in an America that questioned their citizenship and denied their equality. Sophisticated and self-consciously modern\, they challenged limitations and stereotypes in the United States and sought new opportunities in China’s tumultuous republic. Sometimes the risks they took paid off\, but their occasional recklessness also led to infidelity\, divorce\, bankruptcy\, and worse. Those in China faced pressure to collaborate with Japanese occupiers\, making choices that had serious consequences for their siblings in the United States.\n\nCharlotte Brooks’s gripping tale follows the family back and forth across the Pacific and through two world wars\, China’s Nationalist and Communist revolutions\, and the Cold War—events that the siblings and their spouses helped shape. The Moys’ incredible story offers a kaleidoscopic view of an entire generation’s struggle for acceptance and belonging.
