SUMMARY:Making or Faking Chinatown? Representing People\, Place and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Illustration by John Lee \nOn view July 18–October 2024\, Think!Chinatown is proud to present Making or Faking Chinatown? Representing People\, Place and Culture\, a thought-provoking urban planning-focused exhibition exploring the unresolved debate of cultural representation in Chinatown’s built environment through extensive research\, photographs from Chinatowns across North America\, and artwork by artist John Lee. The exhibition is co-curated by T!C Director Yin Kong and architectural historian Kerri Culhane\, and designed with fwd | A+U\, Farzana Gandhi Design Studio\, and Pentagram as part of Van Alen Institute’s program Design Sprints. \nIn 2024\, the NYC Economic Development Corporation launched the Chinatown Connections project which includes the redesign of Kimlau Square and creation of a “Chinatown Welcome Gateway”. This city project has reignited the conversation about cultural representation. In Chinatowns around the world\, gateways\, known as paifang–along with lanterns\, dragons and the ubiquitous color red–present a generic notion of Chinese culture for public consumption. Are these stereotypes or symbols of Chinatown? This exhibition explores the range of placekeeping and placemaking strategies in Chinatowns\, from everyday life to the staged production of culture. \nGallery hours are Wednesdays and Thursdays\, 3-6PM Chinatown!Studio (1 Pike St).

SUMMARY:What We Need to Know About the Asian American Experience
DESCRIPTION:As Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month comes to an end\, please join us for a discussion with leading policymakers and educators about the importance of a newly introduced bill that calls for the inclusion of AAPI history in New York State’s public school curriculum. The conversation will also consider a new social studies curriculum and resource guide from the New York City Department of Education called “Hidden Voices: Asian American and Pacific Islanders in the United States.” Scheduled to be available in schools by the end of June\, it explores the significance of key Asian American and Pacific Islander figures from the past and present. In addition\, the “Hidden Voices” guide offers pedagogical essays to help teachers facilitate inclusive learning experiences that present the diverse perspectives\, histories\, and contributions of AAPI individuals and groups that have largely been invisible in curriculum and public dialogues.

SUMMARY:See What I Wanna See
DESCRIPTION:“See What I Wanna See”\, a musical by Michael John LaChiusa\, is based on three short stories by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa. The story unfolds like a classical Japanese screen painting\, opening each act with a prologue inspired by Kesa and Morito\, a pair of fatally contentious lovers. The first act\, set in 1951\, follows a murder in Central Park from contradicting perspectives where everyone’s truth may be a lie. Act two centers on a priest in 2002\, wavering in his faith and creating a hoax about a miracle. His ruse attracts attention; however\, the result is something he hadn’t bargained for. \nOOTB’s production of “See What I Wanna See” features an all-AAPI cast of actors and elements inspired by traditional Asian theater practices\, bringing LaChiusa’s Americanized adaptation into conversation with the Asian-American experience. \nWords and music by Michael John LaChiusa \nDirected by Emilio Ramos\nMusic Direction by Adam Rothenberg\nChoreographed by Paul McGill \nPerformance Times: Vary by date \n

SUMMARY:The Appearance: Art of the Asian Diaspora in Latin America & the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:Dan Lie\, Memory Stick ou Pau de Memória\, 2015. (Image: Edouard Fraipont) \nThe Appearance: Art of the Asian Diaspora in Latin America & the Caribbean is the first exhibition in New York City to center the artistic production of the Asian diaspora in the region from the 1940s to the present. Focusing on postwar and contemporary art\, the exhibition showcases the work of twenty-seven artists from fourteen countries working in a range of artistic mediums including painting\, sculpture\, performance\, photography\, and video\, to shed light into strategies and themes that resonate across a wide array of Asian diasporic practice throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. \nThe exhibition embraces and performs the multiple and interrelated meanings embedded in the notion of appearance\, inspired by Japanese Brazilian artist Lydia Okumura’s 1975 print by the same title. From acts of appearing and becoming visible—including different types of apparitions—to the idea of impressions and physical resemblance\, artists in the show grapple with the complexities of negotiating (in)visibility\, revisiting and remaking family archives and stories\, and engaging and reconfiguring spiritual practices. The show also addresses abstraction as a formal strategy linked to language\, the senses\, and the body in the context of the Americas’ postwar art. \nConceived as an appearance in and of itself\, the show sheds light on the often-overlooked experiences and artistic trajectories of Asian diasporic subjects and collectives across Latin America and the Caribbean\, casting them as both grounded in their particular context and constitutive of broader transnational histories. \nTo accompany the show\, we will present a series of public programs and publish a catalogue. \nThis exhibition is co-curated by Tie Jojima\, associate curator and manager of Exhibitions at Americas Society in New York\, and Yudi Rafael\, independent curator and researcher based in São Paulo\, Brazil.

It has been celebrated in Japan and by the Japanese diaspora for over 500 years. \nTomorrow\, by the Sea is set during the festival of Obon\, seven years after the devastating 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The musical follows train officers who care for the suspended train stations following the nuclear disaster. The officer Semi\, who lost his girlfriend in the tragedy\, is still processing his loss.

SUMMARY:The Most Famous Woman in China (Book Talk) with Yue-Sai Kan
DESCRIPTION:Roosevelt House\, along with the Hunter College Asian American Studies Program\, is proud to present a discussion with renowned television host and businesswoman Yue-Sai Kan about her new autobiography\, The Most Famous Woman in China.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit - Legacies: Asian American Art Movements in New York City (1969-2001)
DESCRIPTION:Legacies: Asian American Art Movements in New York City (1969-2001) is an expansive survey of rarely-seen artwork and archival material by artists that constitute and exceed “Asian American\,” a label denoting a cultural and national identity invented in 1968. Utilizing an interdisciplinary and research-driven praxis\, Legacies uncovers how artists of Asian descent have historically negotiated identity in America as a set of situated practices and institutional structures amidst transnational diasporas\, racial phantasms\, and political imaginaries.\n\nPresenting over 90 artists and collectives\, Legacies is the first institutional survey exhibition focusing on artists of Asian descent who were based in New York City.\n\n\nLegacies features works – paintings\, drawings\, sculpture\, and new media\, among other mediums – that serve to complicate the idea of defining “Asian American art” as singular and static through the lens of art history\, cultural studies\, and sociology. Recognizing that “identity-based” categories of art are bound to the dominant racial ideology and political narrative of a nation\, the exhibition instead focuses on a multiplicity of subjectivities\, political horizons\, and artistic expressions to interrogate life in America.\n\nIn addition to aesthetic concerns such as figuration\, abstraction and materiality\, the exhibition tracks how these artists addressed migration\, displacement\, racism\, cultural autonomy\, Western imperialism\, societal violence\, and representations of sexuality and gender through the decades.\n\nLegacies also constellates three key artist collectives and organizations: Godzilla: Asian American Art Network; the Basement Workshop; and Asian American Arts Centre. All three organizations were artistic\, social\, and political hubs for diasporic Asian artists in New York that intersected with other marginalized communities.\n\nThe exhibition also features newly commissioned installations\, including a large-scale Washington Square Windows installation by new-media artist Shu Lea Cheang connected to the 30th anniversary of her groundbreaking film\, Fresh Kill (1994).\n\nFilmmaker Rea Tajiri presents an assemblage sculpture that expands on her groundbreaking History and Memory: For Akiko and Takashige (1991)\, a meditation on her family history and Japanese and Japanese American internment during World War II.\n\nOrganized by Howie Chen\, Curator at 80WSE\, Jayne Cole Southard\, PhD.\, CUNY\, and christina ong\, PhD. \n \nProduced by Jon Huron\, 80WSE.  Gini Yu Pei Lee\, Curatorial Assistant. Gracia Brown and Daniella Occhineri\, Research Assistants. Kate Edelson\, Exhibition Registrar.\n \nThe exhibition’s presentation is made possible by Teiger Foundation.  \n\nSpecial thanks for the support of the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU\, Squid Frames\, CHENZO.STUDIO\, and Fales Library and Special Collections. Equipment provided in part by Lower East Side Ecology Center and The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.\n\n\nImage credit:  Bridge Magazine Vol. 1 No. 6. New York: Basement Workshop\, 1972

SUMMARY:MOCA TALKS with Mimi Kwa – House of Kwa
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this captivating discussion that uncovers a deeply personal journey of thriving through adversity!\n\n\nCan’t attend in person? Register for virtual participation \nThe Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) cordially invites you to an insightful discussion with Mimi Kwa\, author of the best selling memoir House of Kwa. Kwa\, a journalist and news anchor for two decades\, reveals a life behind the camera that is far stranger than anything she has reported on. When her own father sued her\, turning her hair grey overnight\, Kwa delved into her rich family history to understand her complicated relationship with her father\, Francis. \nRiveting\, colorful\, and often darkly humorous\, House of Kwa is an epic story spanning four generations of Kwa’s Chinese family. From the imperial compound in Beijing\, down the silk and opium road to Southern China\, and across to Hong Kong\, it is an unforgettable tale of one woman’s courage to stand up to a lifetime of bullying and prejudice. Throughout her journey\, Kwa finds inspiration in her father’s late older sister\, the jet-setting\, free-spirited Aunt Theresa\, whose extraordinary life serves as a beacon of hope. \nThe conversation will be moderated by Yifan Wu\, MOCA’s Director of Programs. Join us for this captivating discussion that uncovers a deeply personal journey of surviving against the odds and thriving through adversity. \nAbout Mimi Kwa \n25 years on TV\, Mimi Kwa has cracked up John Cleese\, and Serena Williams says Mimi’s interview was the best one she had ever done. But behind the scenes of Mimi’s glamorous and polished on-air appearance is a story of surviving against the odds. As a keynote speaker\, Mimi speaks about thriving through adversity\, sharing her deeply personal journey with humor and heart. Her life story is so extraordinary\, it’s being adapted for the screen. The former Head of Disney Creativity says\, “Mimi’s storytelling rivals my friends at PIXAR\,” and Crazy Rich Asians 2 writer Amy Wang calls Mimi’s book a “must read.” As an MC\, she brings warmth and poise\, along with her veteran ABC newsreader and Channel Nine journalist skills\, to the stage. She is also an accredited mindfulness meditation teacher.

SUMMARY:We Keep Us Safe: A Digital Security and Abolition Primer
DESCRIPTION:During this webinar\, we will explore how we can ground ourselves in abolitionist praxis as the digital world continues to evolve.\n\n\nWe are living in a digital age where anti-democratic leaders have leveraged technology to perpetuate and enact state violence and encroach on our freedoms. During this webinar\, we will explore how we can ground ourselves in abolitionist praxis as the digital world continues to evolve and as online threats to social justice activism and organizing increase. A volatile election season is upon us\, making it all the more important for our communities and allies to know how to better protect themselves online. While our ever evolving digital landscape and international access to social media platforms can empower progressive activists like ourselves to organize\, they also aid in the spread of misinformation—which poses an increasing risk to democracy and equity. Disenfranchised groups are disproportionately impacted by digital security threats\, making digital violence a threat to civil rights. In this webinar\, we will discuss the current landscape of digitals security risks as well as practical tips and resources our community members can use to protect themselves from digital harm. We will also define abolition and its relation to digital security frameworks in today’s movement spaces and educational institutions. \nAbout the panelists: \nAlison Macrina: Alison Macrina is an activist librarian and the director of Library Freedom Project. Alison started LFP in 2015 to organize and build community with other librarians who are dedicated to library values of privacy\, intellectual freedom\, social responsibility\, and the public good. \nPraveen Sinha: Praveen is an activist and engineer who believes technology should always be a force for the people. He is a security director and loves helping people get through tough situations. \nSammy John: Sammy is an open-source intelligence researcher whose work involves gathering broad landscapes around digital threat monitoring. Sammy is an advocate for digital resilience and enjoys helping movement-aligned organizations protect their rights in the digital age. \nSome key questions we will address include: \n\nWhat is abolition and how does it relate to our work? How does it apply to digital security frameworks?\nHow might abolitionist praxis facilitate freedom and safety in our digital security strategies?\nWhy might certain individuals be targeted online and what is the current landscape of digital attacks against activists?\nWhat is the current digital security landscape looking like for movement organizations?\nHow can students protect themselves\, their spaces\, and their advocacy on campus?\nWhat is the influence or impact of tech on politics?\nHow can we identify misinformation and what can we do about it?\nWhat practical tips can you provide people (but especially BIPOC activists) to safeguard their identities and personal information online?

SUMMARY:Broadway: Yellow Face
DESCRIPTION:Discount 30% off with code: AANHPI \nTony Award® winner and three-time Pulitzer finalist David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly) will make his Roundabout debut with the Broadway premiere of Yellow Face\, his hilarious is-he-or-isn’t-he comedy of identity\, show business\, and (perhaps) autobiography. Starring Daniel Dae Kim (Lost) and directed by Tony nominee Leigh Silverman (Violet).  \nInspired by real events\, the playwright’s fictionalized doppelgänger protests yellowface casting in Miss Saigon\, only to mistakenly cast a white actor as the Asian lead in his own play. This Obie Award-winning and Pulitzer finalist play is a laugh-out-loud farce about the complexities of race.

SUMMARY:NYC Mid Autumn Fest 2024
DESCRIPTION:A day-long festival of NYC’s diverse Asian-American community\, featuring performance artists\, creators\, musicians/DJs\, chefs\, and artisans.\n\n\nThe Mid-Autumn Fest is the culmination of an 8-week fundraiser for Meals for Unity. If you cannot attend\, please consider donating directly here. \nAlso known as the Harvest Moon Festival\, the Mid-Autumn Fest is an extraordinary opportunity to unite the Asian-American community in celebration of the fruits of our labor throug a day-long celebration—featuring a mix of performers and creators: musicians\, dancers\, DJs\, artisans\, culinary masters\, creators\, martial arts practitioners\, visual artists\, and comedians. In essence\, we were bringing the magic of the Asian Night Market to the heart of Queens.. As we gather under the luminous harvest moon\, we will embark on a mission to cultivate community resiliency and sustainable vitality for Asian American-owned entrepreneurs in the entertainment and food service industries. \nABOUT MEALS FOR UNITY \nAs a group of young professionals who are predominantly first-generation Americans\, we understand the unique challenges and needs of the elderly AAPI community. Our experiences\, along with those passed on to us from generations prior\, have shaped our perspectives and gave us the knowledge and tools to be able to empathize\, support\, and uplift this neglected sector of the community. \nBy leveraging their resources\, networks\, and professional experiences\, they source culturally relevant meals from locally owned AAPI restaurants\, catering to the specific dietary needs and preferences of the elderly AAPI community while stimulating the Chinatown economy. Their goal is to provide not just sustenance\, but also a sense of comfort and nostalgia; paying homage to the heritage of those they serve. \nBy the end of 2023\, we have served over 14\,700 free meals\, have executed 38 meal distribution events\, have been aided by over 570 volunteers\, recorded more than 3\,000 volunteer hours\, and have partnered with over 45 corporate sponsors\, non-profits\, and local restaurants. \n  \nABOUT MOONLITE \nMoonlite exists to uncover\, illuminate\, and elevate the diverse perspectives and expressions that currently exist in our creative community of Asian Americans. We create wholly unique experiences to build our collective sustainability. In plain speak\, we love showcasing the diverse talents of the Asian-American creative community by creating spaces for them to share their art and\, importantly\, to help them get paid for it so that they can keep making more. \nWhile our goal is to build up our creative community and foster sustainable careers\, we believe wholeheartedly that this is best achieved when everyone is having A GOOD TIME. \n  \nBelow is the event flyer\, as well as some snaps of last year’s Mid-Autumn Fest. \n  \nThis project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant program\, a program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor KathyHochul and the New York State Legislature and administered by Flushing Town Hall.
