SUMMARY:Performance – The Table
DESCRIPTION:The Table is a new work of performance that explores insatiability\, grief\, and the body within larger systems. Through immersive\, visceral meditations and a fever dream-like performance language—combining movement\, puppetry\, and everyday objects—the work opens liminal\, shifting worlds where anything can become a portal. Rooted in Pink Fang’s legacy of socially engaged\, interdisciplinary performance\, the work centers collective experience\, relational exchange\, and the body as a site of inquiry. Both poetic and unsettling\, it examines the forces that drive desire and dissatisfaction\, asking a central question: What is enough?

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: Shared Lines: Asian American Stories on Route 66
DESCRIPTION:Route 66 might be the U.S.’s most famous highway. Traversing the country from Santa Monica\, CA to Chicago\, IL\, it’s been immortalized in songs\, books\, and movies. But along that iconic highway are stories that are far lesser known. \nWith a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, illustrator Sammy Yuen set out on a roadtrip to capture those stories. This exhibition — coinciding with Route 66’s 100th anniversary this fall — brings some of them to life. \nLike the stone guardian lions that appeared out of nowhere in Amboy\, CA\, a former ghost town purchased by Japanese American restaurateur and preservationist\, Albert Okura. The water towers in Kingman\, AZ that once supported operations of the railroad built by Chinese laborers. The Chinese American Museum of Chicago\, housed in an erstwhile tofu factory donated by Chinese immigrant and grocery magnate Raymond Lee. \n“This whole journey started with my first exhibition at Pearl River Mart\,” says Sammy. “Showing my new exhibition there brings it back\, full circle. I also like the idea of exploring Asian American communities outside of New York City’s Chinatowns. Beyond Manhattan and Flushing. Sometimes it’s just a strip mall or restaurants spread out in an area. But the stories of the people are often the same.” \nJoin us for the opening reception on June 6. Attendance is free but registration is appreciated. \n\nOn view June 6 through Sept. 27 in the Pearl River Mart gallery at 452 Broadway\nFree and open to the public every day from 11 AM to 7 PM\nLearn more in our interview with Sammy\n\nSpecial thanks to the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, who provided curation for this exhibition. \nThis exhibition is dedicated to Sammy’s father\, Sammy Yuen\, Sr. (1935 to 2026)\, for his unwavering support of the people he loved. \nAbout the Artist\nSammy Yuen is an artist\, illustrator\, designer\, writer\, and martial arts instructor. He is the recipient of multiple grants\, including awards from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, and the Asian American Arts Alliance. His work has been exhibited at Pearl River Mart\, the Chinese American Museum of Chicago\, and Google Arts & Culture. He is currently developing a multi-generational picture book inspired by his family’s martial arts legacy. \nWith over 20 years of experience in the publishing industry\, he has created book covers — including more than 35 New York Times bestsellers — as well as marketing and advertising materials\, animated videos\, and social media assets. Across all of his work\, his goal is to tell stories that engage audiences and spark conversation.

He has also taught at The Cooper Union\, Syracuse University\, and The New School/Parsons School of Design. He has been a lecturer\, panelist\, or guest critic at many U.S. and overseas institutions. He is Chair of the Board of the American Academy in Rome\, where he was a resident in 2010\, and is President Emeritus of the Architectural League of New York\, where he continues to serve as a director. \n \nThrough the Tsao Family Foundation\, Mr. Tsao has recently effected major endowments for both the Harvard GSD and the American Academy in Rome. For the GSD\, he established the Real Estate Practicum as the new capstone requirement of the GSD’s Master in Real Estate (MRE) curriculum. The practicum\, which each student fulfills with a private\, public\, or non-profit real estate organization\, updates the paradigm for the MRE degree in that it advances a more holistic and contemporary approach to projects by which real estate development professionals can help to shape a more sustainable\, inclusive\, and vibrant future for their communities. For the American Academy in Rome\, he established three new scholarly programs. \n \nThe Tsao Family Rome Prize supports scholarship that illuminates the philosophical and existential ideas and questions that link eastern and western cultures\, drawing on the experience of Rome as a crossroads. These ideas and questions animate the world around us and are evident in art\, architecture\, design\, literature\, and even the writing and interpretation of history itself. Collectively\, the work emanating from this fellowship aims to encourage our world’s many societies and cultures to develop cooperatively and to strengthen the foundation of a more humane and mutually supportive global community. \n \nThe Tsao Family Residency supports distinguished Asian artists in a two month stay to create art or conduct research in the Academy’s library and archives. Tsao Family and Harvard University Graduate School of Design Affiliated Fellowship at the American Academy in Rome servers as a bridge by bringing the finest architects and designers at the GSD to the Academy to promote a critical engagement between the two institutions in the areas of architecture\, urban design\, or landscape design. \n \n▦ Moderator and Chair of the Committee of 100 Conversations ProgramPeter Young \nCEO\, Young & Partners \nCommittee of 100 Member\, New York Regional Chair and Board Member \nPeter Young is CEO of Young & Partners\, a boutique corporate strategy and investment banking firm focused on the life science and chemical industries.

SUMMARY:Labor\, Cultural Work\, and More Ways to Organize the City
DESCRIPTION:This conversation draws crucial connections between cultural work and labor organizing in working-class communities across New York City. Bringing together organizers\, artists\, and community members\, the event traces how struggles over labor and land are deeply intertwined—from tenants organizing against evictions in Chinatown to campaigns resisting casino development in Flushing\, and movements to decriminalize sex work—we ask: are there other ways to organize the city? What forms of solidarity are necessary to build communities rooted in care? By placing past and present organizing in dialogue\, this program invites us to consider what forms of organizing are needed in this moment\, and how we build toward more sustainable futures for Chinatown residents and all working-class communities. \nWhether you’ve been part of W.O.W. since the beginning or are just getting to know the work\, we welcome you to join us for an evening of reflection\, celebration\, and community.

SUMMARY:Virtual: China Institute Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:Lunch and Learn is a free monthly online program on Chinese language and culture. No prior knowledge of Chinese is required. Conducted in English\, the program offers participants the opportunity to gain insights into Chinese life through art and literature\, guided by our language and cultural experts—all from the comfort of home. \nWe are featuring Chinese Medicine in Spring 2026! \nJoin us virtually to explore Chinese medicine as a living cultural tradition and learn how Chinese ideas about the body\, nature\, and balance have shaped daily life for thousands of years. \nTraditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has evolved over centuries\, offering a distinctive way of understanding health\, the body\, and the world around us. Rooted in observations of nature and grounded in philosophical ideas such as yin and yang\, qi\, and seasonal harmony\, Chinese medicine reflects a holistic view of life that connects the human body with the environment\, community\, and time. Exploring these concepts offers a meaningful pathway to understanding Chinese culture\, history\, and ways of living. \nWe will explore core cultural concepts in Chinese medicine\, including balance and harmony\, seasonal living\, food and herbs as everyday supports\, and gentle mind–body practices. We will highlight how these ideas have influenced daily routines\, dietary habits\, and wellness practices across Chinese history and into the present day. \nContact:\nYongqiang Lin\, ylin@chinainstitute.org \nSee the playlist of past Lunch & Learn on YouTube

SUMMARY:Mourning the Ming or Mourning the Self?  Writing Dream of the Red Chamber and Reading It Across Time
DESCRIPTION:Since its emergence in the eighteenth century\, Dream of the Red Chamber has been widely regarded as the greatest novel in the Chinese literary tradition. Written over more than a decade by Cao Xueqin under conditions of poverty and without patronage\, the novel was left unfinished at the author’s death. Yet despite censorship\, repeated bans\, and its early circulation only in manuscript form\, it achieved extraordinary vitality among readers and went on to inspire countless adaptations in drama\, film\, and television. \nThis lecture explores how Dream of the Red Chamber has been written\, read\, and reinterpreted across different historical moments. From its early reception as a work of emotional and artistic brilliance\, through the late Qing and Republican debates between allegorical “hidden meaning” interpretations and modern textual scholarship\, to its Marxist readings in the socialist era\, the novel has continually been reshaped by changing intellectual and political climates. \nBy tracing the novel’s transmission history and major interpretive frameworks\, this lecture asks a broader question: how can an unfinished work remain endlessly generative\, inviting each generation to read its own concerns into its pages? In doing so\, Dream of the Red Chamber emerges not only as a literary masterpiece\, but as a mirror reflecting the evolving cultural psyche of China itself.

SUMMARY:AANHPI Civic Engagement: Voting Rights -Post Callais Decision
DESCRIPTION:AAPIP is convening a funder briefing to address what the Callais decision means\, what organizations need\, and where philanthropy can act before 2026 election maps are finalized. \nThe Callais Decision Is Already Redrawing Maps. Here’s What Funders Need to Know \nOn April 29\, 2026\, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais that effectively dismantled Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The decision raised the legal bar for challenging discriminatory voting maps\, a standard Congress had explicitly lowered in 1982 because it was too high. \nThe consequences are already in motion. Louisiana halted an active primary election to redraw congressional maps. Alabama\, Florida\, Georgia\, Mississippi\, South Carolina\, and Tennessee have initiated or are actively considering emergency redistricting sessions. The maps being drawn now will likely have an immediate impact on midterm elections\, with longstanding implications for future election cycles. \nAANHPI communities in the South are part of this fight. In Georgia\, North Carolina\, Texas\, and Virginia\, AANHPI voters have helped shift competitive congressional seats. The same legal standard that previously protected Black voters from discriminatory mapping also protected AANHPI voters. Its erosion is a shared and immediate loss. \nRegister\nYou will hear from: \nJohn C. Yang\, Executive Director\, Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC on legal analysis of the Callais decision and its implications for AANHPI communities \nChristine Chen\, Executive Director\, APIA Vote on national analysis of impact\, trends\, and where AANHPI communities face the greatest exposure \nAshna Khanna\, Executive Director\, Asian American Advocacy Fund on state-level analysis with a focus on Atlanta and the Southeast \nQuanita Toffie\, Co-Executive Director\, AAPI Civic Engagement Fund on philanthropic strategy\, rapid-response giving opportunities\, and a direct call to action for funders \nThis briefing is designed to give funders specific information\, direct access to organizations with identified funding needs\, and concrete steps to act within the current redistricting window. \nJust 0.34% of U.S. philanthropic dollars currently reach AANHPI communities. Organizations are being asked to scale legal support\, voter education\, and organizing work without the funding to sustain that pace. \nWe hope you’ll join us.
