SUMMARY:Yuen Woo-ping Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:In a Hong Kong film industry overflowing with martial arts talent\, Yuen Woo-ping stands apart. His legendary influence\, in a career spanning more than five decades\, has earned him the widely celebrated\, industry-bestowed moniker “天下第一武指\,” which translates as “The Number One Martial Arts Director Under the Sky.” As both film director and action choreographer\, Yuen helped elevate martial arts cinema into a sophisticated art form\, blending technical precision with character\, poetry\, and astonishing physical invention. His choreography prioritizes movement legibility\, spatial clarity\, and expressive geometry over brute force\, reshaping the visual grammar of global action filmmaking. \nBorn into a family of Peking Opera performers\, Yuen grew up in a tradition where drama\, martial arts\, acrobatics\, and dance were inseparable—a heritage linking him to contemporaries like Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung\, who emerged from the same rigorous training. Yuen’s father\, Yuen Siu-tien\, an accomplished opera performer\, actor\, and martial arts director\, introduced his children to the film set. The Yuen siblings began as stunt performers and rose through the ranks. Together they formed the Yuen Clan\, becoming some of Hong Kong cinema’s most respected stunt performers and action directors. \nYuen’s first two films as a director\, Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow and Drunken Master (both 1978)\, launched Chan’s stardom. By shifting martial arts cinema away from solemn violence to wit\, personality\, and comedic invention\, the films established a template for Chan’s career. Yuen went on to collaborate with icons like Hung\, Jet Li\, Michelle Yeoh\, and Donnie Yen\, while consistently demonstrating an unparalleled ability to train performers of all backgrounds—including Hollywood stars like Keanu Reeves and Uma Thurman—in his intensive “fight camps.” \nYuen’s work on The Matrix (1999)\, which seamlessly integrates Hong Kong wirework—human-controlled harnesses and cables that propel and suspend performers—with science fiction\, fundamentally altered how Hollywood approaches action. With Crouching Tiger\, Hidden Dragon (2000) he showed that martial arts could deepen a film’s emotional and intellectual resonance as much as its spectacle. Yuen’s extraordinary adaptability made him the definitive collaborator for visually distinct auteurs as diverse as Stephen Chow\, Ang Lee\, Quentin Tarantino\, Tsui Hark\, the Wachowskis\, and Wong Kar Wai. Decades after his debut\, Yuen’s latest epic\, Blades of the Guardians (2026)\, proves his vision still dictates the rhythm of modern action cinema. \n\n\n\n\n\nIron Monkey (少年黃飛鴻之鐵馬騮).1993.

SUMMARY:Best by 07/21/2026
DESCRIPTION:A residency-then-exhibition Artists: Clare Hu\, Tianyi Sun\, and Shaan Ken Rao \n398 West Street\, New York\, NY 10014 Residency: July 21 – September 16\, 2026 Exhibition: September 17 – October 17\, 2026 Opening Reception with the artists: Thursday\, September 17\, 2026 | 6-8 PM \nEli Klein Gallery is pleased to present Best by 07/21/2026\, a residency-then-exhibition featuring artists Clare Hu\, Tianyi Sun\, and Shaan Ken Rao\, opening on its own expiration date. Following At-Will Adaptation (2024)\, the gallery’s residency program returns this year for its second installment\, running from July 21st and culminating in a three-artist exhibition on Thursday\, September 17th. The three artists\, working in various mediums such as sculpture\, weaving\, painting\, and photography\, will create entirely new bodies of work using Eli Klein Gallery as their studio. The gallery will be open to the public during normal business hours throughout the duration of the residency. \n“Can the concept of the human survive discovering how the “sausage” of us is actually made\, what we really look and smell like at the cellular level?” This question\, raised by the writer and scholar Sophie Lewis in her catalog essay “New Wombs for Old Men” of the New Museum’s inaugural exhibition “New Humans\,” challenges the default practice of separating the maker from their associated defecations during the formation of a public-facing identity. On a metaphorical and non-visceral level\, contemporary art’s birth-giving process today resembles an ectogenesis\, with the “sausage-making” process susceptible to both curated previews and packaged commercialization. An artist’s studio is only alive when it breathes and excretes\, and more so when the discarded substances are studied\, categorized\, archived\, and recycled.

SUMMARY:Tchah Sup Kim: The Key to a New World
DESCRIPTION:Tchah Sup Kim (1940–2022) was an artist whose lifelong practice explored fundamental questions of civilization\, the universe\, existence\, and humanity. Moving beyond formal experimentation\, his work sought new ways of seeing and understanding the world—often by challenging established boundaries between East and West\, the individual and the cosmos\, and the finite and the infinite. \nKim moved to New York in 1974 and studied printmaking at Pratt Institute\, where he began developing a distinctive visual language. His landmark etching Triangle Between Infinites (1976)\, now in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, introduced the triangle as a central motif in his practice. Rather than treating it as a closed geometric form\, Kim opened its vertex\, transforming the triangle into a structure of openness\, circulation\, and connection. \nThroughout the 1980s\, his work reflected his experiences of migration\, otherness\, and diasporic identity in New York. After returning to Korea in 1990\, his inquiry expanded toward broader questions of civilization\, history\, and the origins of humanity. \nNew York played a pivotal role in this artistic and intellectual journey. It was here that Kim encountered the center of Western modernism while also beginning to question its prevailing systems of thought. Presented now in New York\, The Key to a New World revisits that formative relationship and considers his practice through a contemporary lens. The exhibition title comes from a phrase found in one of Kim’s own notes. For him\, a “new world” was not simply a vision of the future\, but the possibility of thinking and seeing beyond existing frameworks. \n\nTuesday – Friday: 10 AM – 6 PM / Saturday: 11 AM – 5 PM\nClosed on Sunday and Monday.\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nAbout the Artist \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTchah Sup Kim received his BFA from Seoul National University in 1963. With a grant from John D. Rockefeller 3rd Fund Fellowship\, he completed his MFA at the Pratt Institute in New York in 1976. \nWorking primarily in paint and mixed media\, Kim explores the principles of cosmos through nature and its phenomena. He raises questions regarding the universal truth that human beings have sought in and out of history. His artistic journey can be divided into three major periods: from 1965 to 1982\, during his early years in Korea and New York\, his work is characterized by a focus on geometry; from 1983 to 1993\, during his New York period\, he turns toward geopolitical and historical themes; and from 1993 to 2022\, after leaving New York for the rural village of Naepyung-ri in Korea\, and later alternating between the two locations\, he focuses his work on geography and nature. \nTchah Sup Kim’s artwork is currently housed in the collections of many renowned institutions\, including the Museum of Modern Art (NY)\, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (NY)\, and the National Museum of Contemporary Art (Gwacheon\, Korea).

SUMMARY:Afterlayers: Tai Hwa Goh & Julia Kwon
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception: Thursday\, September 17\, 2026\, 5-7pm \nTwo artists transform traditional materials–textile and paper–to explore themes of identity and memory. Tai Hwa Goh creates intricate\, layered installations from printed and cut paper\, inspired by organic forms\, landscapes\, and the relationship between the interior and exterior. Goh’s process pushes the limits of traditional printmaking\, as she modifies the characteristics of paper and thin fabric by covering with batik or ironing thin sheets of beeswax onto her prints\, deliberately obscuring the underlying images. She then uses techniques like sewing\, gluing\, and manipulating printed materials to construct intricate\, honeycomb-like structures. Found objects seamlessly integrate into the work\, reflecting the blending of the personal and the universal\, as well as natural and artificial elements.Through this process\, the imagery gradually moves away from recognizable forms\, and the dense layers serve as a space where nature\, memory\, and personal experience intertwine. Her installations invite viewers to contemplate the balance between the natural world and human existence\, and how everyday moments can reveal deeper insights into our lives. \nJulia Kwon sews interpretive Korean textiles\, specifically in the form of patchwork bojagi (Korean object-wrapping cloth)\, to critique received notions of Asiatic femininity and challenge reductive\, easily legible identities. Although her bojagi textiles may initially be perceived as traditionally Korean\, the patchwork designs are actually derived from urgent contemporary sociopolitical issues and events. Her work moves beyond simply representing minority identities as she aims to comment on the interconnected systems of oppression. Kwon’s practice contests the notion of authenticity and explores the complexities involved in constructing identities within the current framework of cultural hybridity\, intersectionality\, and the collective pursuit of social justice \nThe Korea Society Gallery is open only by appointment.\nThe appointment must be made at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled visit. \nGallery Hours: Monday-Friday 10 AM-4:30 PM\nBy Appointment Only

SUMMARY:Zine* Together
DESCRIPTION:Please join Asia Art Archive in America on Thursday\, September 17th from 5-8pm for the opening reception of their exhibition\, Zine﹡ Together. \nZine﹡ Together is the first exhibition of its kind to examine Asian American zines not only as objects\, but as actions—creative\, collective\, and relational. Drawing from Asia Art Archive in America’s Reading Room collection\, this exhibition highlights collaboratively produced zines from 2010 to the present\, alongside newly commissioned projects and prompts that trace zine-making as a mode of shared authorship and community building. \nIn the 1960s and 1970s\, zines (short for “magazines” or “fan-zines”) were characterized by their photo-copied\, staple-bound formats and emerged as popular do-it-yourself platforms for sharing counter-cultural socio-political programs and avant-garde art practice. In more recent decades and particularly in Asian American communities\, zines have served as a place to explore artistic narratives\, diasporic histories\, and collective responses to marginalization. \nKey to this exhibition is a commissioned research project and essay by Michelle Yee\, PhD\, and Elizabeth Chung that investigates the recent history of Asian American zines in relation to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and the parallel rise in anti-Asian violence across the United States. Situating zine-making within this moment of crisis\, the research frames the medium as one of many grassroots strategies for care\, documentation\, and solidarity. Together\, the exhibition and research project position zines not as peripheral ephemera\, but as vital cultural tools that register and record how communities respond in times of uncertainty. \nZine﹡ Together\, itself a collaborative project\, is organized by Claire Kim\, Susanna Chang\, Sarula Bao\, Michelle Yee\, Elizabeth Chung\, Mary Y. Yang\, Chen Luo\, and Tasnima Tanzim.

SUMMARY:Synthetic Mobility
DESCRIPTION:Fou Gallery is pleased to present “Synthetic Mobility”\, a two-person exhibition featuring Tokyo- and New York-based artist Ai Makita and China-born\, Houston-based kinetic artist Sizhu Li\, on view from September 19 through November 8\, 2026. The exhibition brings to the fore important questions about the interaction between technology and humans\, considering how larger societal shifts affect the way artists represent humanity and reconstituted spaces. \nThe concept of the exhibition is connected to Timothy Morton’s idea of hyperobjects\, according to which we cannot fully perceive larger structures surrounding us and widely distributed across space and time\, but can try to describe their attributes and make a reasonable guess about their true nature. Synthetic mobility – the artificial generation of realistic human movement patterns using advanced algorithms – is a phenomenon related to the new acceleration of living rhythms promoted by digital progress. As the world is enveloped in ideological and cultural conflicts\, Makita and Li consider what it means to remain individuals today\, and how changes in technology alter our sense of perception and our mode of existence. \nAi Makita presents oil paintings\, several of them developed in conjunction with the AI model Midjourney and others based on images created in Photoshop by folding aluminum sheets. The depicted forms represent abstract conjunctions of pipes\, conduits\, and industrial infrastructure. Folded materials result in labyrinths of fluidity and line resembling a circulatory or nervous system\, an organism’s internal anatomy\, or an invisible technological network now made visible. The created conduits recall flowing rivers\, transcended thresholds\, and the linearity of time. Close conceptual connection with Minimalism makes Makita’s stretched lines internally connected to Donald Judd looking at the properties and the rigidity of the structures as well as relation of this (in)stability to the current historical moment. Process art likewise plays a significant role in Makita’s practice\, albeit in a form more appropriate to its new\, updated version\, where the digital has taken the place of the physical. Her paintings leave the viewer with a sense of wonder about where these meandering curves are leading and whether there is any specific destination. Mystery emerges not through mystical effects\, but through the inability to grasp the full picture\, pushing us to step away while also looking closer. \nSizhu Li presents sculptures made primarily from aluminum sheets and industrial fans. In Pushing Hands (2024–present)\, opposing forces travel through an industrial metal wave\, creating a rhythm of tension and equilibrium that references the Taoist principle of balance. The title directly refers to the fundamental Tai Chi practice of Tui Shou\, or “pushing hands\,” centered on sensing\, yielding to\, and balancing opposing forces. Evolving from her earlier project Moonment\, Li uses programmed fans and suspended aluminum sheets to construct a live\, percussive environment of moving metallic waves. In Yuanbao (2026)\, she brings the traditional Chinese symbol of wealth and blessing into conversation with the ephemeral form of clouds\, moving between material and spiritual aspirations\, permanence and transience. Meanwhile\, Oops\, Caught’ya! (2026) turns the clamp into both a generative and restraining device\, using movement\, suspension\, and pressure to consider freedom\, constraint\, instability\, and balance. \nTogether\, the two artists create a dialogue in which materials work as experimental tools to devise new understandings of where we are as a human species. Both artists look at motion\, structure\, and encounter as facilitated by materials\, planes\, and color. Makita’s paintings examine the transformations and limits caused by new synthetic mobility\, while Li’s sculptures engage the same idea through three-dimensional objects. Neither artist provides specific arguments or answers; instead\, they offer aesthetic tools that can help broaden our understanding of the technological forces increasingly shaping contemporary life.

SUMMARY:The Recursion of a Moth
DESCRIPTION:A story about time\, memory\, diaspora\, and the futures we dare to imagine\, can we break the cycles we are born into\, or are we destined to repeat them? \n\n\nOn the Moon\, Icarus dreams of soup.

SUMMARY:Bridging the Connection
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Bangladeshi American Artists Forum (BAAF)\nCurated by Kaiser Kamal and Kyoko Sato \nArtist-in-Residence from Japan: Nobuko\nExhibiting Artists: Arthur Azad | Alma Leya | Barkia Azam | Bishwajit Chowdhury | Bonnie Astor | Dina Zaman | Dipa Debnath | Farhana Yasmin | Kaiser Kamal | Kaniz Husna Akbory | Kazol Anthony Das | Kyaw C Maung | Mohammed Hassan Rokon | Nobuko (Japan) | Ruddro Md Ayudh Jahangir | Salma Sinha Kaniz | Sazada Sultana | Shinobu (Japan) | Sherry X Chen | Shameem Subrana | Sujit Kumar Saha | Syed Azizur Rahaman | Tajul Imam | Tariq Julfiker | Zebun Nesa Kamal \nEach year from May through October\, more than two dozen arts and cultural organizations activate the historic houses on Governors Island through the Governors Island Arts’ Organizations in Residence program. The program provides a unique platform for artists and cultural organizations to present free exhibitions\, public programs\, workshops\, and artist residencies in one of New York City’s most distinctive cultural settings. Over the next decade\, New York City and the Trust for Governors Island plan to expand this seasonal initiative toward year-round permanent homes for cultural organizations on the Island. \nAgainst this extraordinary setting between the waters of New York Harbor and the city skyline\, the Bangladeshi American Artists Forum (BAAF) has been presenting Between River and Harbor: Stories That Carry Us\, a multidisciplinary cultural program exploring migration\, memory\, identity\, belonging\, and the ways stories travel across generations and borders. \nThis fall\, curated by Kaiser Kamal and Kyoko Sato\, the program transforms one of Governors Island’s historic houses into a space of encounter—a place where personal histories\, ancestral memories\, artistic practices\, and different cultural perspectives can meet and resonate with one another. \nA significant new dimension of this fall’s program is BAAF’s collaboration with New York–based curator Kyoko Sato\, with the support by the Art Incubation Association of Japan\, which brings artists from Japan into the Governors Island program for the first time. This collaboration expands the conversation beyond a single diasporic experience and creates a broader dialogue between Bangladeshi American and Japanese artistic perspectives.

SUMMARY:Moving Rasa Discovery Cards Inside/Outside
DESCRIPTION:Move what’s inside\, outside. Move what’s outside\, inside. \nWhat happens when something you’re carrying inside—a feeling\, question\, image\, memory\, impulse—gets to take shape in the world around you? \nAnd what happens when the world answers back? \nOver six gatherings\, we’ll use the Moving Rasa Discovery Cards to improvise between our inner and outer worlds. We might climb onto something\, lean into another person\, follow the shape of a tree\, move with a wall\, let a card change our attention\, or allow an unexpected impulse to lead somewhere new. \nWe’ll work with group improvisation\, contact\, imagination\, questions\, and the environments we enter. Some gatherings will happen indoors. Others will take us outside into different NYC places. Each environment becomes part of what we discover. \nThere is no movement to get right and no fixed meaning to find in a card. We’ll notice what emerges through the relationships we make—with ourselves\, one another\, the cards\, and the places around us. \nLocation:\nReal World Sculptures: Norman A Rockefellar Park\nRiver Terrace and\, Chambers St\nNew York City\, NY 10282

SUMMARY:Yoshitaka Amano: Origins at the American Academy of Arts and Letters
DESCRIPTION:Yoshitaka Amano (b. 1952\, Shizuoka\, Japan) creates worlds. It’s something he’s done since he was fifteen\, when he moved to Tokyo and began working as a character designer for an anime studio. There\, drawing was always an act of translation. His task was to convert narrative into illustrated concepts\, drawings that would become the connective tissue of a fictional universe. Throughout his career as an independent artist and as a character designer for storied anime and video game franchises\, such as Final Fantasy and Vampire Hunter D\, drawing has always been a way of describing the porousness between the real and the fantastic. “I want to depict a world I myself have never seen\,” Amano says of the feeling from which his work begins. \nOrigins 始源 takes up Amano’s interest in primordial beginnings. Over the last few years\, Amano has been absorbed in Greek and Shinto mythology\, making drawings of the characters that animate these stories. Here\, he presents Pandora\, a series of drawings of the Greek myth of the first mortal woman; they circle the gallery like an ancient frieze\, or the storyboards for an animation. Alongside these works\, a selection of illustrations\, animation\, and popular materials from the 1980s and ’90s\, including the anime film Angel’s Egg and sensual depictions of The Tale of Genji\, is presented in our library. In all the stories Amano is drawn to\, origins are an eternal structure\, a threshold where being emerges. For him\, that threshold is the page; his figures seem to move and drift across its surface\, entering into worlds that exist beyond our lived reality. \nThis exhibition\, Amano’s first institutional solo show in New York\, offers a chance to encounter an artist whose drawings continue to have extended lives in the world around us. Right now\, more likely than not\, you could find them appearing on someone’s gaming console as they play Final Fantasy and livestream it to Twitch; on a Gatchaman Uniqlo tee worn in the streets of Tokyo; or even on an iPhone as someone watches Angel’s Egg on the subway\, in bed\, or really anywhere streaming is available. \nArts and Letters commissioned an essay\, Shining Genji\, by Sean Thor Conroe\, which accompanies the exhibition as part of our Reader series.

SUMMARY:SLEEPLESS NIGHT
DESCRIPTION:Chinese American Counci is pleased to present SLEEPLESS NIGHT\, a solo exhibition by Xuhong Shang\, on view from October 2 through October 23. \n\n\n\n\nSLEEPLESS NIGHT is an exhibition that explores the unstable boundary between reality and dream\, presence and absence\, movement and confinement. Through installation\, photographic fragments\, painting\, video\, sound\, and spatial intervention\, Xuhong Shang creates an environment where perception is interrupted and certainty becomes fragile. \nThe exhibition is centered around the single-channel video Sleepless Night and expands into a physical installation composed of dark surfaces\, fragmented images\, linear structures\, and layered visual interruptions. The exhibition suggests a space where images appear partially concealed\, crossed\, taped\, and suspended within a field of darkness. These elements create a visual rhythm of obstruction and passage\, suggesting windows\, routes\, barriers\, memories\, and psychological thresholds. The viewer is invited not only to look at the work\, but to move through a condition of uncertainty. \nThe title SLEEPLESS NIGHT evokes a state of wakefulness between consciousness and dream. In this in-between condition\, time becomes stretched\, thoughts become fragmented\, and ordinary images take on emotional and symbolic weight. The exhibition reflects this mental space through fractured compositions\, grayscale imagery\, and stark contrasts between light and shadow. The visible world appears unstable\, as if caught between documentation and imagination. \nThe dark wall surface may be understood as a night sky\, an interior void\, or a psychological field. Across this darkness\, white strip boards cut through the canvas images and extend outward into the surrounding space. These sharp white lines suggest lightning crossing the night\, sudden flashes of thought\, or cracks breaking through the surface of memory. They connect the images while also damaging and disrupting them\, creating a tension between illumination and rupture. As the strips move from image to dark space\, they become more than formal devices; they operate as psychological forces\, exposing the instability of perception and the fragile condition of the mind during sleeplessness. \nTravel\, architecture\, and transitional spaces emerge as recurring visual references. Airplanes\, airport-like structures\, passages\, and abstracted silhouettes suggest movement across distance\, yet this movement is never fully free. Instead\, it is crossed by interruptions\, invisible borders\, and psychological weight. The white linear forms may be read as paths\, fractures\, signals\, restrictions\, or flashes of anxiety. They point toward direction and disorientation at the same time. \nIn Shang’s work\, ambiguity functions as a space of possibility. Rather than presenting a fixed narrative\, SLEEPLESS NIGHT asks viewers to confront the uncertain nature of perception itself. The exhibition reflects on how memory\, migration\, globalization\, and cultural experience shape the way we understand reality. It questions how images carry traces of personal and collective history\, and how the intangible forces of dream\, anxiety\, nostalgia\, and desire can become physically present within space. \nThe video Sleepless Night\, a single-channel work with sound\, becomes both an anchor and an atmosphere for the exhibition. Its duration suggests an intimate encounter with time\, while its presence extends the installation into a psychological and sensory field. Sound and moving image deepen the feeling of suspended consciousness\, placing the viewer within a state where the real and the imagined overlap. \nUltimately\, SLEEPLESS NIGHT is an exhibition about uncertainty as a condition of contemporary life. It invites viewers into a contemplative space where images are incomplete\, meanings remain open\, and the familiar becomes strange. Between darkness and light\, movement and stillness\, dream and reality\, the exhibition asks: what remains visible when certainty disappears?

SUMMARY:MOCA PERFORMS – Echoes of Arrival: Becoming
DESCRIPTION:Immigration is never a single arrival but an ongoing process of becoming. Beyond legal status and paperwork\, immigrants navigate displacement\, alienation\, adaptation\, and the long\, sometimes complicated journey toward belonging. What did you have to learn to survive and build a life in the United States? What did you choose to carry with you from the culture you came from? What was lost in translation? And what new part of yourself emerged along the way? \nEchoes of Arrival returns to the Museum of Chinese in America for a new iteration\, Becoming. Through a collection of personal stories\, the ensemble explores the many ways immigrants remake themselves while making a life in a new country. These stories of change\, resilience\, loss\, discovery\, and belonging illuminate how immigration does not simply transform individuals. It continues to shape the rich and ever-evolving cultural fabric of the United States. \nCREATIVE TEAM\nConceived by Dennis Yueh-Yeh Li\nDevised & Performed by Shan Y. Chuang\, Nikkiesha N.

SUMMARY:Meet & Greet | Sophia Lee Can Fly by Marie Tang
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE BOOK \nBubbly\, bobbly\, and bold Sophia Lee is always doing the opposite of what her grandparents want her to do! When she tries something new and a little bit scary\, Sophia learns that the support of her loved ones might just be what gives her courage. \nSophia Lee is messy where her grandparents are tidy. She’s rambunctious where her grandparents are calm. She’s always looking for an adventure where her grandparents are careful. When the circus comes to town\, Sophia decides that her next adventure will be to become a trapeze artist! Gong Gong and Po Po aren’t so sure-Sophia doesn’t eat enough vegetables! She might get hurt! So Sophia shows Gong Gong and Po Po just how tough she is and convinces them to let her try. But once Sophia gets to the trapeze school and sees just how tall the ladder is\, doubt begins to creep in. With a little encouragement\, Sophia is able to find her courage and learn what it takes to fly. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nCosmopolitan life defines Marie Tang in many ways. Born in Hong Kong\, raised in New York City\, and a resident of Shanghai for over a decade (before moving back to the States in 2020)\, she draws much of her inspiration from the unique characters and neon lights of the\n“Big City.” While teaching literacy to kindergarteners\, she recognized the correlation between reading aloud to children and future reading ability. She is dedicated to spreading this message to parents and caregivers. Marie proudly tells tales of grit\, tenacity\, compassion\, and Asian culture. She is the author of Yuna’s Cardboard Castles (Beaming Books)\, Baba’s Peach Tree (Random House Studio)\, and Sophia Lee Can Fly (Disney Hyperion) the first in a two-book series. Yuna’s Cardboard Castles was named a Virginia Readers’ Choice Book for 2025–2026. Her forthcoming books include The Big Jump (Random House Studio)\, arriving in summer 2027\, and the recently announced Belly Takes the Bus (Random House Studio).

SUMMARY:Oasis
DESCRIPTION:Fresh out of prison\, Hong Jong-du (Sul Kyung-gu) finds an unlikely soulmate in Gong-ju (Moon So-ri)\, the daughter of the victim of the hit-and-run accident for which he went to jail. Wheelchair-bound and suffering from severe cerebral palsy\, Gong-ju is kept cloistered in a cheap apartment by her brother\, whose only concern is the government assistance she receives.
