SUMMARY:Exhibit: Creating Kosher Chop Suey
DESCRIPTION:What happened when chop suey\, a Chinese dish with American roots\, encountered Jewish customers in New York at the turn of the century? A new Center for Women’s History installation in the Joyce B. Cowin Women’s History Niche sheds light on the vibrant\, gastronomic collaboration between two ethnic communities. From debates in the Yiddish press to the publication of  kosher Chinese cookbooks\, and from representations in fine art to restaurant ephemera\, the installation explores how Jewish and Chinese women\, with a shared love for food\, together introduced a new phenomenon in the 1960s: kosher Chinese cuisine. Curated by Shiyong Lu\, Mellon Foundation Predoctoral Fellow in Women’s History and Public History\, and Anna Danziger Halperin\, Director for the Center for Women’s History.  \nImage: Gifford Reynolds Beal (1879–1956). Chinese Restaurant #1\, ca. 1930.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: The New York Sari: A Journey Through Tradition\, Fashion\, and Identity
DESCRIPTION:The New York Sari showcases the deep influence that South Asians have had on the culture of New York City and how individuals have drawn strength from tradition while looking clearly towards a bolder future of inclusion and progress. \nThe New York Sari centers the sari as an essential part of the cultural fabric of New York City\, using it as a metaphor for the ways in which the individuals who wear and create saris have straddled tradition\, culture\, and modernity in their work\, art\, and lives. The exhibition tells the stories of who wears saris\, the relationship between saris and identities\, and how they’ve evolved over time. \nThe New York Sari showcases the deep influence that South Asians have had on the culture of New York City from the Gilded Age to the present day\, beginning with the little known history of Coney Island’s first theme park and culminating with the vibrant communities that are home to the South Asian diaspora today. Offering a unique history of migrant communities and gender in New York City\, the exhibition explores how individuals have drawn strength from tradition while looking clearly towards a bolder future of inclusion and progress.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: hapa.me: 25 Years of the Hapa Project
DESCRIPTION:In 2001\, artist Kip Fulbeck began traveling the country photographing multiracial individuals of all ages and walks of life. Fulbeck’s work sought to address in words and images the one question that Hapa people are frequently asked — What are you? After photographing more than 1\,200 people\, the project culminated in the landmark book and exhibition Kip Fulbeck: Part Asian\, 100% Hapa\, which toured throughout the U.S. A new exhibition Hapa.me — 25 Years of The Hapa Project\, revisits some of the original subjects two decades later. How do they look now? How have their views on their own identity changed? \nDerived from the Hawaiian word for “half\,” the word “hapa” has been embraced as a term of pride by many whose mixed-race heritage includes Asian or Pacific Islander ancestry. The exhibition comes at a time of increasing awareness and identification with being mixed race. The 2020 Census showed that 10% of the population identified as multiracial\, almost tripling from ten years before. In Hapa.me\, Fulbeck presents a nuanced portrait of change and growth within this broad identity by focusing on individual faces and voices. \nOriginating at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles\, this New York presentation will feature 30 portraits and responses of local subjects\, installed amidst a hand-painted mural that captures the beauty of being mixed. A central reading table encourages visitors to flip through Hapa.me artist’s books for a fuller archive of the project. This exhibition is a homecoming of sorts for Fulbeck: MOCA was one of the first museums to exhibit the Hapa Project and it has remained a fixture of our permanent exhibition which explores over 200 years of the experiences of Chinese in America. \nhapa.me: 25 Years of the Hapa Project and related programs are made possible with generous support from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature; public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs\, in partnership with the City Council; Bloomberg Philanthropies; and is funded by a grant from the New York City Tourism Foundation. \nAbout the Artist \nKip Fulbeck has exhibited and performed in over 20 countries and throughout the U.S. He is the author of six books including Part Asian\, 100% Hapa; Mixed: Portraits of Multiracial Kids; and Hapa.me – 15 Years of The Hapa Project\, and the exhibition artist of Perseverance: Japanese Tattoo Tradition in a Modern World. He teaches as a Distinguished Professor of Art at the UCSB\, where he received the Faculty Diversity Award and the Distinguished Teaching Award\, and has been named an Outstanding Faculty Member five times.

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:Asian Americans & Nature - Virtual Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a collaborative workshop exploring the ways Asian Americans relate to nature through reflections on migration\, labor\, and place!\n\n\nAsian Americans & Nature \nJoin us on Tuesday\, February 3rd at 5PM PST / 8PM EST for our next People’s School for Justice session! \nThis will be a collaborative workshop exploring the ways Asian Americans relate to nature through reflections on migration\, labor\, and place! \nHow have Asian Americans historically been positioned in relationship to nature? What new relationships to our environment can we create? How might we question settler urges to own and commodify nature – what new ways of inhabiting the earth are possible? \nParticipants will come together to reflect on the landscapes and everyday environments that shape Asian American lives. Thinking expansively about both “Asian America” and “nature\,” and centering lived experience\, we will explore how migration\, family history\, and place influence our relationships with our environment. \nNo prior knowledge needed. We will begin with short grounding/framing\, historical context\, and case studies around Asian American relationships to nature drawn from my scholarly research\, and then move through guided prompts and shared conversation. Looking forward to being in community with you. ❤️ \nMeet the Facilitator \nK Yin (they/them/ta) is a writer and scholar. They are currently a PhD student in American Studies at Brown. Broadly\, they have interests in and teach on Asian American art\, race and ethnic studies\, and the environment. Their research explores 19th-century visual archives alongside contemporary Asian American art and performance. \nThey were raised between Sonoma County and Zhejiang. They love leaf-wrapped foods of all kinds (tamales\, zongzi\, etc.). You can find their culinary creations at congee_baby on Instagram. \n

SUMMARY:Noguchi’s New York
DESCRIPTION:In 1922\, Isamu Noguchi first moved to New York—a city that would remain his on-again\, off-again home for the remainder of his life. Though he was an avid traveler who built meaningful connections and temporary homes around the world\, Noguchi always returned to New York. It was here that he created some of his most iconic artworks and imagined countless others. \nThis exhibition examines Noguchi’s deep and dynamic relationship with New York City\, exploring how its material\, cultural\, social\, and political landscape indelibly transformed his artwork and thinking\, and how he in turn transformed the city. It also highlights Noguchi’s unflagging attempts to give back by sculpting communal spaces for exploration and play—efforts often thwarted\, most notably by the influential NYC Parks Commissioner Robert Moses. \nNoguchi’s New York encompasses more than 50 works\, including sculptures\, project models\, photographs\, and archival materials. The exhibition also brings to life Noguchi’s visions for unrealized playgrounds and playground equipment through a series of hand-painted animated films by Jack Cunningham and Nicolas Ménard of Eastend Western. \nOrganized on the 40th anniversary of The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum\, this exhibition celebrates the Museum itself as one of Noguchi’s most profound gifts to this city he called home. \nPhoto credit: Isamu Noguchi\, 1980

SUMMARY:Theater: Chinese Republicans (with Discount Code)
DESCRIPTION:Buy tickets from $39 using code CR39.\nComing to Roundabout Theatre this winter\, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Playwright Alex Lin and Award-Winning Director Chay Yew. \nThree high-powered businesswomen meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs\, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie\, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce\, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best\, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder. \nShifting between sharp-tongued humor and the harsh realities of modern capitalism\, this world premiere production explores themes of assimilation\, intergenerational conflict\, and gender politics in the workplace—all with unflinching wit and empathy. Chinese Republicans is a new play from a thrilling new American voice and tells a truly American story. \nCast: Jennifer Ikeda\, Ben Langhorst\, Jully Lee\, Jodi Long\, Anna Zavelson \nHarold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre\, Laura Pels Theatre\, 111 West 46th Street\, New York\, NY \nLink to buy tickets: Chinese Republicans – Roundabout Theatre Company

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: The Red Envelope Show
DESCRIPTION:In its 11th year\, the Red Envelope Show features artists from across the country and their interpretations of that integral Lunar New Year tradition\, the red envelope. Albert Chau\, the show’s curator\, hands out the same envelope to the artists (about 100 this year) but all are encouraged to create their own vision. Some celebrate the artists’ personal loves\, such as cats\, favorite foods\, and space exploration\, but most center on this year’s Chinese zodiac animal\, the horse.

Movement\, conversation\, and collective tasting support the experience—reminding us that eating is relational\, cultural\, and alive. \nNo cooking experience is required.

SUMMARY:Jen Shin launches "The Blue House I Loved\," with Andrea Chiney
DESCRIPTION:“Encourages us to engage with one another in the communal—and vital—practice of remembering. A beautiful book.” —Bao Phi\n\n\nJoin us for the launch of Kao Kalia Yang and Jen Shin’sThe Blue House I Loved\, a beautifully illustrated story of Hmong refugees’ beloved first home after arriving in the United States.\nIlustrator Jen Shin will read The Blue House I Loved\, followed by a conversation\, Q&A\, and signing. \nPreorder your copy of The Blue House I Loved! \nCan’t make it to the event? Preorder at the link above to receive a signed copy for store pickup or shipping. Indicate any personalization requests in the “Instructions and comments” field during checkout. \n \nAbout the book\nThe Blue House I Loved centers on a family of newly arrived Hmong refugees who move into the lower level of a duplex in St. Paul\, Minnesota. The narrator loves her aunt and uncle’s home with its mismatched furniture\, but it is too small for the large family. The boy cousins sleep in the three-season porch\, where their wet hair freezes in wintertime\, and the rest of the family crowds into two bedrooms. Yet this is the cherished home where they live and love\, their own small corner of a very large and unfamiliar place\, and in this blue house a young girl learns about her new country. Eventually\, the family moves in search of more space\, and years later the house is torn down. Where it was\, green grass now grows. But for this girl and her family\, the ghost of the house remains\, its memories a strong thread that holds time at bay and hearts close together. \nCombining Kao Kalia Yang’s lyrical prose with ethereal illustrations by artist and architect Jen Shin\, The Blue House I Loved speaks to the multitude of refugee experiences around the world\, honoring the challenges they face and the homes they create together. \nAdvanced Praise \n“For those of us denied a place in the history books\, our memory is like beautiful art meant to be shared. Through the gift of her art\, Kao Kalia Yang once again encourages us to engage with one another in the communal—and vital—practice of remembering. A beautiful book.”—Bao Phi\, author of You Are Life \n“Artist Shin’s architectural prowess enables spectacularly meticulous illustrations from multiple viewpoints that undeniably elevate Hmong American Yang’s poignant\, longing prose. Intricate full-color details—hanging flyswatter\, scattered sneakers\, fading hopscotch grid\, a child too small to reach the faucet—add resonating depth\, underscoring a loving family in constant motion.” —Kirkus Reviews \n \nAbout the illustrator\nJen Shin is an interdisciplinary artist and urbanist. The daughter of immigrants and granddaughter of refugees\, she is fascinated by what it means to make a home and by the places where communities create home together. A Flatbush resident\, Jen has contributed illustrations to Voices of Lefferts\, a community history project in Flatbush/Prospect Lefferts Gardens. She lives and works in Brooklyn. \n \nAbout Andrea Chiney\nAndrea Chiney is an architect and educator with Peruvian\, Chinese\, and Japanese roots. She brings over a decade of experience in architecture\, specializing in public engagement. Prior to joining A+A+A\, she collaborated with institutional clients\, including the Brooklyn Public Library\, Queens Public Library\, and the Crystal Bridges Museum\, to develop community engagement and impact strategies for new libraries and public art installations. Drawing from her multicultural background\, Andrea applies her design skills to bridge connections between diverse groups\, enriching public spaces with varied perspectives.
