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:Good Fortune: Advance Film Screening and Aziz Ansari in Conversation with Josh Horowitz (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Online tickets are for the Talk only. They do not include the screening. Talk begins at approximately 9:15 pm ET. \nJoin Emmy Award-winning comedian Aziz Ansari for a special advance screening of his directorial debut film\, Good Fortune\, followed by a conversation with Happy Sad Confused’s Josh Horowitz. \nGood Fortune is a hilarious\, heaven-sent comedy that follows a wealthy tech bro (Seth Rogen) and a struggling gig-worker (Ansari) after their lives are magically switched through the intercession of a “budget guardian angel” (played with deadpan brilliance by Keanu Reeves).

SUMMARY:The Immigration and Nationality Act 60 Years Later: The Making of Modern New York City (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us as Roosevelt House and the Tenement Museum host a discussion to mark the 60th anniversary of the Immigration and Nationality Act\, signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 3\, 1965. Lifting the restrictive 41-year-old national origins quotas\, the law—also known as The Hart-Celler Act—ushered in a new era of immigration\, and laid the groundwork for the formation of modern New York City. \nModerated by Hunter College professor of sociology Margaret Chin\, this discussion will feature sociologist and Hunter College professor emerita Nancy Foner\, history professor Mae Ngai\, and former New York City demographer Joe Salvo.

SUMMARY:Rediscovering Saint Malo: The First Permanent Asian American Settlement
DESCRIPTION:Explore the fascinating history of St. Malo\, Louisiana\, the first permanent Asian settlement in the United States\, established as early as 1763. Contributing to the thriving fishing industry\, Filipino sailors settled the swamps of St. Malo\, but very few sources from the perspective of Filipinos exist. The workshop will demonstrate the ways to utilize poetry as a medium to learn about St. Malo while also analyzing and evaluating outsider accounts of Saint Malo to unearth the truth of the settlement. Educators will leave the workshop with new historical insights and classroom-ready activities to teach about Asian Americans’ enduring role in shaping the United States. Perfect for lessons on immigration\, colonization\, and early American life\, this session sheds light on an important yet often overlooked chapter of our shared past. \nFacilitator: Rachael Richard\, TAAS Ambassador \nFree and open to all. Professional Development hours awarded. \nThis event is brought to you by Teach Asian American Stories and AAPI New Jersey.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Unruly Comparison: Queerness\, Hong Kong\, and the Sinophone
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the NYU Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. \nREGISTER \nAlvin K. Wong (University of Hong Kong) joins the NYU Center for the Study of Gender & Sexuality for a discussion about his new book Unruly Comparison Queerness\, Hong Kong\, and the Sinophone (Duke University Press\, 2025). \nThe book examines queerness in Hong Kong through a transdisciplinary analysis of Sinophone literature\, cinema\, visual culture\, and civil society. Moving beyond Eurocentrism in queer theory and China-centrism in area studies\, Wong frames Hong Kong as a model for global comparison by theorizing a method of unruly comparison—acknowledging the incommensurability of cultural texts and queer figures across different temporal and spatial locations. Here\, unruly comparison positions Hong Kong as an undefinable time-space that troubles historicist\, colonial\, and China-centric renderings of the city as merely a site of British colonial legacy\, Chinese rule\, or global capital. Wong analyzes queer interracial desire in World War II; a cinema of gay male cosmopolitanism; queer intimacy among migrant workers; trans visuality and legality; cross-border sex work; and the queer diaspora of Hong Kong after the 2019 protests. Through Wong’s readings\, Hong Kong becomes a queer region of racial\, gender\, and sexual incommensurability.

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:Nikkitha Bakshani Presents Ghost Chilli\, in Conversation with Kat Tang
DESCRIPTION:Nikkitha Bakshani celebrates the US release of her novel Ghost Chilli with Kat Tang at The Crown Inn. Hosted by Fleet with cosponsor AAWW.\n\n\nJoin us for a celebration of the US release of Ghost Chilli\, Nikkitha Bakshani’s acclaimed debut novel\, the recipient of a Cosmopolitan Book Award and a finalist for the 2025 New Adult Book Prize. Nikkitha will be in conversation with novelist Kat Tang (Five-Star Stranger). Hosted by Fleet\, an imprint of Little\, Brown Book Group\, and cosponsored by the Asian American Writers’ Workshop\, the event will include readings\, discussion\, mingling\, and drink specials. Admission is free. \nMore about Ghost Chilli: \nMuskan has a great life: a creative job in the big city\, supportive friends\, and no trouble finding first dates. So what if her colleagues don’t know she exists\, or her friends won’t stop lecturing her about the three-year ‘situationship’ she’s in? It’s not like she’s starving. \nBut something is wrong\, and while the people around her seem to have all the right words\, nobody can articulate what they want from each other. As obstacles mount and the easy-going persona Muskan has built starts to crumble\, she is forced to face a question that’s been quietly burning at the back of her mind: Why did her family move to America so abruptly? \nWarm\, funny\, and sharply observed\, Ghost Chilli is a story about trying to find honest relationships in an isolating world\, and the weight we unwittingly carry. \n‘A rich coming-of-age story full of punchy and astute observations about everyday relationships‘ COSMPOLITAN \n‘By turns witty\, compassionate\, and toe-curling. An incredibly astute and propulsive writing of modern relationships\, familial\, platonic and romantic‘ SUSANNAH DICKEY \n‘Ghost Chilli is enjoyably bittersweet\, a black comedy that conjures the turbulent twenties in all their isolation and shame‘ TELEGRAPH \n‘A kaleidoscopically detailed novel of twenty-first century life\, full of human comedy\, which finds richness in the quotidian\, ephemeral\, and overlooked’ LUCIE ELVEN \n‘Exquisite\, forensic and tender . . . This book gently brûléed my heart‘ DOREEN CUNNINGHAM \nNikkitha Bakshani is an Indian-American writer based in London and the author of the debut novel Ghost Chilli\, which has been shortlisted for the 2025 New Adult Book Prize. Her writing has been published in the Telegraph\, the Paris Review Daily\, The Baffler\, the Village Voice\, and more. She has an MA in Creative and Life Writing from Goldsmiths. \nKat Tang is a graduate of Columbia’s MFA program where she taught as an Undergraduate Writing Fellow. Born in China\, relocated to Japan\, and raised in California\, she is fascinated by how we make and fake human connection in a technologically evolving world. Her short stories and graphic narratives have appeared in Electric Literature\, The Margins\, Pigeon Pages\, and elsewhere. She currently lives in New York.
