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: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.

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: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:Documentary – New Wave
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Elizabeth Ai embarks on a journey to capture the vibrant spirit of a musical phenomenon that electrified Vietnamese American teens in the 1980s: New Wave. What begins as an exploration of the rebellion and freedom within this subculture evolves into a profound narrative of identity\, loss\, and healing. In Orange County\, California\, the synth beats and punk/goth aesthetics provided a sanctuary for a generation of youth grappling with the weight of their parents’ unspoken traumas. \nAs Elizabeth delves into the lives of her family members and icons of the New Wave scene\, she discovers that beneath the surface lies a complex tapestry of broken dreams and unfulfilled expectations. These were not just fleeting moments of teenage rebellion but acts of defiance against the lingering shadows of the Vietnam War and the sacrifices made by a generation trying to rebuild. \nThe film juxtaposes the memories of her uncles and aunts—sneaking out to underground clubs—with Elizabeth’s own childhood\, marked by her mother’s abandonment. What starts as a celebration of a cultural movement transforms into a cathartic journey. As the filmmaker unravels long-buried emotions and confronts the generational wounds that have shaped her community\, the film becomes a powerful exploration of cultural identity\, resilience\, and new beginnings.

SUMMARY:Filipina Suffragists of the Twentieth Century: Confronting Race\, Gender\, and Empire in the Fight for Voting Rights
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sulo: The Philippine Studies Initiative at NYU. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU\, Espacio de Culturas at NYU\, New York Southeast Asia Network (NYSEAN)\, Rutgers Center for Immigrant Justice\, NYU School of Law Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Center\, and FANHS Metro New York. \nREGISTER \nThis lecture explores the significant yet overlooked contributions of Filipina Americans to the suffrage movements in both the United States and the Philippines during the early twentieth century. Despite the centennial anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment’s ratification in 1920\, the role of Filipina American suffragettes remains underexplored. By uncovering their stories\, this lecture will discuss how their advocacy intersected with broader national and global efforts to dismantle the racial\, gendered\, and imperial barriers to women’s voting rights. \n\nRose Cuison-Villazor is professor of law and Chancellor’s Social Justice Scholar at Rutgers Law School where she previously served as interim co-dean (2021-23) and vice dean (2019-2021). Professor Cuison-Villazor is also director of the Center for Immigrant Justice\, which conducts publicly engaged research and policy work on progressive immigration and citizenship laws. She is an elected member of the American Law Institute. Her overall research agenda examines the extent to which laws\, policies\, and norms include and exclude individuals and groups from membership. She teaches and writes in the areas of immigration and citizenship law\, property law\, and race and the law. She is visiting scholar at the A/P/A Institute at NYU.\n\n  \nNYU campus access guidelines: The event is in-person only. It is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Please note that seating is limited. \nAccessibility note: Please email Dale Maglalang at dam506@nyu.edu for any access needs at least two weeks in advance.

SUMMARY:Art\, Identity and Legacy:  Ching Ho Cheng\, Miguel Ferrando\, and Tseng Kwong
DESCRIPTION:The sisters of three artists lost to AIDS speak about caring for their brother’s legacies and the role of identity in their work.\n\n\nSybao Cheng-Wilson (Estate of Ching Ho Cheng)\, Teresa Ferrando Kleint (Estate of Miguel Ferrando)\, and Muna Tseng (Estate of Tseng Kwong Chi) speak about caring for their brother’s legacies and how the role of identity has been navigated posthumously. \n \nIdentity looms large as a rubric for attending to artistic legacies. With dedication to more expansive cultural histories in regard to race\, diaspora\, gender\, sexuality\, and HIV status\, this approach is essential. But tensions and slippages often arise when applying identity-based analysis retroactively\, especially for artists whose work was made against autobiographical interpretation. \nDuring this event\, short presentations will introduce the work of three artists who immigrated to New York City and developed their practice in relation to distinct artistic scenes. In the conversation that follows\, the artist’s sisters – all stewards of their sibling’s legacies for over thirty years – will reflect on the often gendered labor of legacy work and their role in translating the artistic\, social\, and political concerns of a deceased artist into contemporary discourse. \nModerated by Chelsea Spengemann\, Executive Director\, Soft Network and Jayne Cole\, Co-curator of “Legacies” at 80WSE. With an introduction by Kyle Croft\, Executive Director\, Visual AIDS. \n \nAttendees are encouraged to view work by all three artists before the event. Work by Ching Ho Cheng and Tseng Kwong Chi is on view at 80WSE as part of “Legacies: Asian American Art Movements in New York City (1969-2001)\,” curated by Howie Chen and Jayne Cole. Work by Miguel Ferrando is on view at Candice Madey Gallery as part of “Darrel Ellis and Miguel Ferrando.” \n\n\nParticipants\nSybao Cheng-Wilson has worked as a model and fashion designer. In 1950\, her family immigrated to New York from Cuba\, where her father had held a diplomatic post for the Republic of China. Her brother\, Ching Ho Cheng (1946–1989)\, lived in the Chelsea Hotel in the 1970s\, where he mingled with the avant-garde of New York and produced a body of work that ranges from psychedelic paintings and airbrushed still lifes to torn paper and alchemical reactions. \nMuna Tseng is an acclaimed choreographer and the founder of Muna Tseng Dance Projects. Raised in Hong Kong\, she moved to New York in 1978 with her brother\, the photographer Tseng Kwong Chi (1950–1990). Kwong Chi was part of the downtown arts scene of the 1980s and is best known for his self-portrait series East Meets West in which he poses in front of iconic tourist sites in a Mao suit. \nTeresa Ferrando Kleint and her brother Miguel Ferrando (1957–1996) moved to New York from Santo Domingo\, Dominican Republic in the early 1960s. From the late 1970s\, Miguel was active as a painter and performer in downtown New York\, becoming close with artists Darrel Ellis and Richard Brintzenhofe. His paintings often juxtaposed art historical references with buildings and landscapes of the Dominican Republic. \n \n\n\nArtwork Images\nChing Ho Cheng\, Untitled\, 1979.

SUMMARY:La Piedra Angular: Julia Wong Kcomt and Transnational/Translational Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Join writers Fabiana Chiu\, River 瑩瑩 Dandelion\, Nilton Maa\, and Jennifer Shyue for an evening of poetry celebrating Julia Wong Kcomt.\n\n\nJoin transnational Asian American artists and writers Fabiana Chiu\, River 瑩瑩 Dandelion\, Nilton Maa\, and Jennifer Shyue for an evening of multilingual poetry celebrating Julia Wong Kcomt’s legacy and the transnational/translational life she forged in the world and on the page. In March 2024\, Asian American literature lost a vital voice when tusán (Chinese Peruvian) poet Julia Wong Kcomt passed away from cancer. Over a career spanning 30 years\, Wong Kcomt plumbed themes in her work including the body\, desert landscapes\, diaspora\, love\, madness\, mothering\, plurilinguality\, and racialized womanhood in her poetry\, fiction\, and hybrid nonfiction. \nAfter sharing poetry by both Julia Wong Kcomt and the participants in English and Spanish\, we will discuss Julia’s place in her community as a “piedra angular”—a keystone—and cultural organizer\, mentor\, and central voice in tusán and Peruvian literature. What does “Asian American poetry” mean\, and where do its borders fall? How do the cultural inheritances Julia writes about continue to echo? How does a sense of place show up in Julia’s work and our own? How do Julia’s words and her themes reverberate on? \nJulia Wong Kcomt (1965–2024) was a Peruvian writer.

SUMMARY:"otherland”: healing & song w/ treya lam + Dr Elizabeth So
DESCRIPTION:Warm up with an intimate musical experience that calls on healing and wellness practices rooted in traditional Chinese medicine!\n\n\nWarm up for the cold season ahead with an intimate musical and healing experience by treya lam and Dr Elizabeth So! \nAt this communal gathering\, treya lam’s multi-instrumental and vocal performances will draw from “otherland”\, a multidisciplinary grief and regeneration ritual that utilizes song\, movement\, film and storytelling to explore loss as a catalyst for radical empathy. Dr Elizabeth So will gently ease us into the cooler season with a homemade herbal tonic and guide us through the herbs and share about where we currently are in the Lunar calendar. \nAs we hold space for ourselves and each other\, we’ll ground ourselves by centering ideas of warming and rootedness\, our relationships between personal and collective wholeness and wellness\, and our sense of place and belonging here in Chinatown. \n— \nThank you to Kamwo Meridian Herbs for sponsoring this program! \n— \ntreya lam is a multi-instrumentalist composer and multidisciplinary creator whose intersecting identities as a genderqueer\, neuroexpansive\, transnational adoptee born in Taiwan and based in Lenapehoking/New York City ignites their work. lam’s atmospheric voice\, fluency on guitar\, piano\, looped viola\, percussion and found sounds culminates in liberation oriented chamber-protest songwriting and environmental scores throughout their solo work as well as collaborations across disciplines. Smithsonian Magazine states lam’s work “perfectly captures the mixture of love\, loss and hope”. \nDr. Elizabeth So is a Licensed Acupuncturist and Doctor of Chinese Medicine in NYC. She earned her master’s and doctorate degrees in the practice of Chinese medicine from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. She considers this profession to be her life’s vocation and is wholeheartedly dedicated to the lifelong cultivation of knowledge\, wisdom\, and experience. Through the building of sincere relationships and the sharing of knowledge\, Elizabeth is always aiming to provide a thorough and immersive healing experience. Through the use of acupuncture\, moxibustion\, Chinese herbal remedies\, nutritional advice\, and lifestyle guidance she hopes to empower all of her patients to become masters of their own physical and mental well-being. \nKamwo Meridian Herbs has been the largest herbal dispensary on the east coast since 1973. With over 500 raw herbs\, thousands of granules and patent herbal products\, along with an extensive offering of acupuncture supplies and natural wellness options\, they’ve got you covered.
