SUMMARY:Busy\, Busy Towns: Moving Images of a Changing Asia
DESCRIPTION:This selection of works from the Asia Society Museum Collection explore how rapidly evolving cultural\, political\, and ecological issues have shaped urban landscapes across contemporary Asia\, and in particular China\, Indonesia\, and Taiwan. The exhibition presents seven works featuring the artists Song Dong\, Chen Shaoxiong\, Tromarama\, and Chen Chieh-jen. The innovative range of styles implemented to produce these moving images—through stop-motion animation of woodcuts\, ink painting\, or embroidery—among other methods\, speaks to the creative depth and diversity of the region. The artists explore the dynamic energy of cities\, whether fueled by consumerism and gentrification or by collapsing industries and environmental degradation. Actively reflecting on the regeneration of cityscapes and the subsequent impact on urban lives\, these works initiate a renewed dialogue with the current exhibition\, (Re)Generations: Rina Bannerjee\, Bryon Kim\, and Howardena Pindell amid the Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd Collection.

SUMMARY:Buddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Asia Society’s seventieth anniversary\, Asia Society Museum presents Buddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon: Celebrating 70 Years of Asia Society and the Rockefeller Legacy. \nDisplaying seventy of the finest examples of Asian art in the United States drawn from Asia Society’s permanent collection\, the exhibition showcases the extraordinary range of bronzes\, ceramics\, and metalwork thoughtfully assembled between the 1950s and the 1970s by John D. Rockefeller 3rd (1906-1978) and his wife Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller (1909-1992). John D. Rockefeller 3rd founded Asia Society in 1956 with the mission to promote greater knowledge of Asia in the United States; the bequest of the collection to Asia Society in 1979 underscores the Rockefellers’ conviction that an aesthetic encounter with great works of art promotes deep cross-cultural understanding. \nWith highlights including spectacular Buddhist and Hindu sculptures\, and rare Chinese\, Korean\, and Japanese ceramics\, Buddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon celebrates historic achievements in Asian art spanning more than two millennia. The exhibition foregrounds the transformative power of faith and the catalyzing potential of international trade in the creation of great works of art across Asia. \nBuddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon presents a special opportunity for museum visitors to experience the unparalleled quality of the Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller Thrid Collection at its home at Asia Society Museum in New York City.

SUMMARY:My Dinner with Wong Kim Ark: Food\, Identity\, and the Fight for Birthright Citizenship
DESCRIPTION:AAPI NJ and Teach Asian American Stories invite adults and youths of all backgrounds to join us for a one-night-only community dinner and teach-in on birthright citizenship. \nGuided by Mindie Sobrinski\, Teach Asian American Stories Fellow\, we’ll learn that what’s on the table tells us who belongs at it. \nFrom Filipino sailors to Chinese laborers\, South Asian merchants to Japanese Americans\, Asian communities have long used food to claim their place in this country. At the center of our table sits Wong Kim Ark\, a Chinese American cook whose fight for birthright citizenship produced a Supreme Court ruling that still shapes American law today. \nBut as birthright citizenship faces renewed attack\, the histories carried in every plate of lumpia\, chop suey\, chaat\, and teriyaki remind us that the question of who gets to be an American has never been settled — and that what we do right now matters. \nCome hungry for history (and dinner!). Leave ready to act. \nFree and open to all. Professional Development hours for teachers awarded.

SUMMARY:Music: Sunny Jain’s Wild Wild East
DESCRIPTION:Called “One of the leading figures in North America’s burgeoning Asian music scene. A global musical alchemist and cultural agent provocateur” by Songlines (UK)\, Sunny Jain is a composer\, drummer\, dhol player and thought leader. \nSunny Jain’s Wild Wild East\, encompasses a myriad facets of Jain’s identity and sonically paints the journey of his own family’s immigration story. He sources musical inspiration from the scores of Bollywood classics\, Punjabi folk traditions\, jazz improvisation\, and rollicking psychedelic styles. His 5 piece band (drums\, vocals\, sax\, guitar\, bass) delivered a fiery NPR Tiny Desk Concert in 2024 and followed it up with an electric live KEXP session in 2025. They toured North America appearing at the iconic Monterey Jazz Festival\, Calgary Jazz Festival\, Victoria Jazz Festival\, The Kennedy Center\, Lincoln Center\, National Museum of Asian Art\, and the historic Bryant Park in NYC. In 2022\, the band made a milestone tour to Pakistan headlining Music Mela in Islamabad\, the Lahore Jazz Festival and performing with master Sufi dhol drummers Nasir Sain Wajdani and Sain Tanveer. Just months prior to that\, Sunny Jain’s Wild Wild East performed on the National Mall in Washington D.C. for the renowned Smithsonian Folklife Festival. \nWhile growing up with a deep cultural connection to his South Asian heritage\, Sunny Jain also fell in love with jazz music and prog rock. His eclectic musical upbringing has brought him to perform with percussion legends Mickey Hart & Zakir Hussain and Planet Drum\, to pop icons Ed Sheeran\, David Byrne\, Jon Batiste and Italian Pop Star Jovanotti\, to many jazz luminaries. He has been at the zeitgeist of America’s South Asian sounds for the past 2 decades. He founded and plays dhol in the pioneering Brooklyn band\, Red Baraat\, and has drummed with some of the top South Asian artists out there (Ali Sethi\, Ganavya\, Arooj Aftab\, Vijay Iyer\, DJ Rekha\, Heems\, Karsh Kale and Junoon). He was the music producer for Mira Nair’s Monsoon Wedding Musical\, and premiered his first theatrical show\, Love Force\, in 2026 as part of the Under The Radar Festival. \nSunny Jain – drumset\, dhol\nBen Parag – vocals\nAlison Shearer – alto saxophone\, flute\nShubh Saran – guitar\nAlmog Sharvit – bass \nPhoto credit: Ebru Yildiz

SUMMARY:Beyond Headlines: The Human Story of Americans in China  An Official Book Launch and Conversation with Author William Brown
DESCRIPTION:Behind the headlines and geopolitics lies a rarely heard story\, the lives of ordinary Americans who became part of China’s history. \nFor decades\, Professor William Brown traveled more than 200\,000 kilometers across China and the United States to uncover letters\, photographs\, and memories of Americans who lived in China across generations — teachers\, doctors\, diplomats\, pilots\, and families whose ties endured long after they returned home. Their experiences reveal friendships and shared struggles that shaped mutual understanding far more deeply than official policy ever could. \nThese Americans helped establish early hospitals and schools\, advanced education for women and students with disabilities\, opposed the opium trade\, and supported China’s sovereignty during an era of imperial competition. During World War II\, the American volunteer pilots known as the Flying Tigers fought alongside Chinese forces against Japan\, a legacy still commemorated in China today. \nThrough vivid journeys across deserts\, villages\, and modern cities\, the book shows history as lived experience: people meeting\, learning\, and sometimes staying for a lifetime. \nThis year marks the 100th anniversary of China Institute\, founded to promote U.S.–China exchange through education and human connection. We invite you to join this conversation with the author\, hear these remarkable stories firsthand\, and explore how personal encounters continue to shape understanding between the two nations today.

SUMMARY:Siyan Wang: Mother Warriors (Artist Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Siyan Wong’s paintings depict immigrant Chinese women working in garment factories\, restaurants\, homecare\, and street vendors. Inspired by the immigrant dreams of a better life and the reality of survival in a dehumanizing economy\, Wong notes that her paintings\, “make the lives of Chinese women\, and the working poor\, visible while directing the viewers’ gaze to their body and soul as they toil.” A self-taught artist\, Wong’s outsider painting style\, replete with decorative patterning\, shallow pictorial space and panning compositions\, offer a closely observed\, non-filtered\, cinematic view of the unrelenting struggles\, yet earnest fortitude of her subjects. \nIn collaboration with New York Artists Equity (NYAE)\, Siyan also presents two simultaneous exhibits exploring the immigrant experience: \n“Familiar Stranger” featuring artworks by Luisa Henao\, Ying Hung\, Sharon Cheuk Wun Lee\, Elim Mak\, and Mary Ting. \n“Immigration in America” featuring artworks by NYC high school students \nExhibition Dates: 3/12/26 – 4/11/26\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, March 12th\, 6 – 8pm\nArtist Talk: Saturday March 21st\, 3 – 5pm

SUMMARY:Get Lit March Book Club: A Guardian and a Thief by Megha Majumdar (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Join WNYC’s Alison Stewart and writer Megha Majumdar for a live conversation about her newest book\, A Guardian and a Thief\, a finalist for the National Book Award. \nThe New York Public Library and WNYC—two indispensable New York institutions—are partnering to host a book club that brings New Yorkers together and fosters community. \nThe March title is Megha Majumdar’s A Guardian and a Thief – an electrifying new novel in which two families seeking to protect their children must battle each other in a city ravaged by climate change and food scarcity. \nIn a near-future Kolkata beset by flooding and famine\, Ma\, her two-year-old daughter\, and her elderly father are just days from leaving the collapsing city behind to join Ma’s husband in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. After procuring long-awaited visas from the consulate\, they pack their bags for the flight to America. But in the morning they awaken to discover that Ma’s purse\, containing their treasured immigration documents\, has been stolen. \nSet over the course of one week\, A Guardian and a Thief tells two stories: the story of Ma’s frantic search for the thief while keeping hunger at bay during a worsening food shortage; and the story of Boomba\, the thief\, whose desperation to care for his family drives him to commit a series of escalating crimes whose consequences he cannot fathom. With stunning control and command\, Megha Majumdar paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of two families\, each operating from a place of ferocious love and undefeated hope\, each discovering how far they will go to secure their children’s future as they stave off encroaching catastrophe. \nA masterful new work from one of the most exciting voices of her generation. \n

SUMMARY:The Health Impacts of Immigration Policy
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the NYU Migration Network. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. \nREGISTER \nHeld monthly over the semester\, these public conversations bring together scholars\, artists\, and practitioners for cross-disciplinary exchanges to develop and refine understandings of migration and mobility\, its histories\, and its political stakes. With migration so sensationalized by much of the media\, these conversations are a rare opportunity to invite the public to engage with questions of migration and mobility in a nuanced\, thoughtful\, and analytical manner. \nThis conversation on “The Health Impacts of Immigration Policy” will feature Maria Elena de Trinidad Young (UCLA) and Laura Wherry (NYU). \nNYU campus access guidelines: This is an in-person event\, open to the public. Registration is required. \nAccessibility note: If you have any access needs\, please email migration-network@nyu.edu. \n  \nMaria Elena de Trinidad Young\, PhD\, MPH\, is an affiliate at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and an assistant professor at UC Merced. Young focuses on the impact of the US immigration system on the health of immigrant populations. Her research examines the relationship between health inequities and factors such as citizenship and legal status and state and local policies. Her current research seeks to understand the various structural\, institutional\, and individual mechanisms that link policy with health outcomes. \nYoung was formerly the project director of the NIH-funded Research on Immigrant Health and State Policy (RIGHTS) Study which seeks to understand the experiences of Latino and Asian immigrants in California in the areas of health care\, social services\, employment\, education\, and law enforcement and how these experiences have had an impact on their health and access to health care. Young was also the Chancellor’s postdoctoral fellow at UC Merced where she lead a study to examine how media coverage of immigration policy may influence immigrant well-being. \nLaura Wherry is an associate professor at NYU Wagner and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research in the Economics of Health program. During the 2024-25 academic year\, she served as the senior economist for health care on the President’s Council of Economic Advisers. Her research focuses on the role of public programs and policies on the health and economic well-being of individuals in the US. She has a particular interest in policies that affect access to health care for women and children in lower income families. \nImage: U.S. Customs and Border Protection operations following the implementation of Title 42 USC 265 at the northern and southern land borders\, March 22\, 2020\, photograph by Jerry Glaser.

SUMMARY:Learning How To Read By Moonlight
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one-night only reading of a new play with music by Gaven Trinidad and directed by Nicholas Polonio. \nA collection of Filipino\, Fil-Am\, and AANHPI artists is coming together for a concert reading of the play Learning How to Read by Moonlight to fundraise for University Settlement’s Adult English Classes. The classes are offered at a variety of levels to adult immigrant students during the daytime\, evenings\, and weekends\, free of charge. \nNick Polonio is the director. Carolina Do and Ariel Estrada are producing\, with co-producers: New York Theatre Workshop\, The Song Collective\, Betterfly Productions\, Leviathan Lab\, and University Settlement. \nThis 2025 Boston Critics’ Pick play follows a young\, undocumented Filipino family’s journey to build a home in Queens\, New York. The story is told through the eyes of six-year-old Eddie\, exploring his fears and joys in a world that tells him he has no home. The play is performed in both English and Tagalog. Though written in 2019\, we believe the play’s exploration of immigration\, language\, and resistance is resonant now more than ever. We hope that through our storytelling\, we raise funds for these amazing language programs\, as well as remind our audiences that they are human. \nTickets are pay-what-you-can\, and all proceeds go directly to University Settlement.  \nIf you cannot attend\, there is an option to still donate. Every donation\, no matter how small\, counts! Please feel free to share this information with others.

As an extension of her work through Joyful Planet LLC\, Patrice created the 501c3\, Joyful Planet Foundation\, which provides pro bono support to non-profit leadership development programs serving diverse\, emerging leaders committed to creating an equitable\, inclusive\, and joyful planet. \nPatrice will talk about the two most important things she ever did to unleash greater success\, fulfillment\, and joy in her personal life\, workplace\, and communities**: 1) Discovering and operationalizing a “business purpose” for her start-up PR agency** that had them recognized within eight years as the #1 Most Creative PR Agency in the country and\, at the same time\, the #2 Best Workplace among all agencies; and 2) Discovering and actively living her own “life purpose” to “Choose Joy. Be Mindful of Joy. Share Joy with Others\,” which led her to accomplish many things\, including co-founding two other PR & Marketing agencies. The last one was one of the “Top 10” largest\, independent PR agencies in the country\, and the largest\, employee-owned firm with 240 employee-owners. \nPatrice has been inducted into the PRWeek Hall of Fame and honored by many organizations for creativity\, top PR & Marketing campaigns of the year and decade\, best workplace\, corporate social responsibility\, public service\, entrepreneurship\, mentoring\, and commitment to diversity\, equity\, and inclusion. \nPatrice has lived in New York City for most of her adult life but calls Hawaii “home” and she is committed to living her life with the “Aloha Spirit.”
