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:Art Exhibition: Avani Patel: Connection
DESCRIPTION:Connection is a solo exhibition by Avani Patel\, presented at Evercore’s New York City offices. \nExcerpt from Patel’s artist statement: \n“Art has been an integral part of my life since I was young. I used to go to the theater with my sister for her rehearsals and dance shows. Seeing the colorful costumes\, flowing dresses and festivity of these moments made me feel joyful; I felt as though the colors were speaking to me…I often draw and paint things that I see in my everyday surroundings\, personal experiences\, and memories. I use mark-making and repetition as tools to signify change in nature\, the passage of time\, and the retention and rejection of memory. My work often takes the form of visual studies and drawings that I work on for months as a time. This process helps me understand colors and patterns\, which then allows me to transfer my ideas to large-scale paintings and public projects.” \nFor inquiries\, please email info@cueartfoundation.org.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: In Our Corner: Exchanges in the Asian American Art Movements and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Who is in our corner when we need help?\nWho do we call on when we are down?\nWho backs us up when we are cornered?\nIn Our Corner: Exchanges in the Asian American Art Movements and Beyond explores the personal and professional support that artists of Asian descent received during and after the Asian American Art Movements. This companion exhibition to Legacies: Asian American Art Movements in New York City (1969-2001) at New York University’s 80WSE Gallery\, invites five artists of the three key art collectives and organizations featured in Legacies to show alongside five non-Asian American artists who supported their work and growth over the years. These relationships range from recently made friendships to lifelong partnerships and even marriage: Kathleen Foster joins Ching Ming Cheung; Charles Luce joins Helen Oji; Howardena Pindell joins Arlan Huang; Shellyne Rodriguez joins Tomie Arai; and Arleen Schloss joins Nina Kuo. To highlight AAAC’s collection and its ongoing solidarity-building\, In Our Corner presents five works by non-Asian American artists from the collection\, Columbia Fiero\, Kitty Katz\, Donald Lipski\, Eva Mantell\, and Sepp Seitz. As the hosting institution for In Our Corner\, Think!Chinatown’s commission of Black Gotham’s Grand Rising and its inclusion in the show demonstrates the organization’s ongoing exchange and collaboration with communities of color. Through interviews and writings from the artists\, In Our Corner highlights these bonds and explores how artist collectives/organizations intersected and fostered connections. \nNovember 16\, 2024 – March 2025 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, November 16\, 2024\, 3-5PM \nThink!Chinatown’s Studio – 1 Pike Street\, New York\, NY 10002 \nPhoto Credit “Untitled” by Sepp Seitz

SUMMARY:Midnight Release Party: The City and Its Uncertain Walls
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the midnight release of Haruki Murakami’s The City and Its Uncertain Walls! Featuring games\, prizes\, tea from Kettl Tea\, sake from Kato Sake works\, Milk Bar muffins (“Murakuffins”) inspired by the book\, and more! Be the first to receive your copy right at midnight! \nABOUT THE CITY AND ITS UNCERTAIN WALLS \nFrom the bestselling author of Norwegian Wood and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World comes a love story\, a quest\, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them\, and a parable for our peculiar times. \nWe begin with a nameless young couple: a boy and a girl\, teenagers in love. One day\, she disappears . . . and her absence haunts him for the rest of his life. \nThus begins a search for this lost love that takes the man into middle age and on a journey between the real world and an other world – a mysterious\, perhaps imaginary\, walled town where unicorns roam\, where a Gatekeeper determines who can enter and who must remain behind\, and where shadows become untethered from their selves. Listening to his own dreams and premonitions\, the man leaves his life in Tokyo behind and ventures to a small mountain town\, where he becomes the head librarian\, only to learn the mysterious circumstances surrounding the gentleman who had the job before him. As the seasons pass and the man grows more uncertain about the porous boundaries between these two worlds\, he meets a strange young boy who helps him to see what he’s been missing all along. \nThe City and Its Uncertain Walls is a singular and towering achievement by one of modern literature’s most important writers.

SUMMARY:On Performance\, Poetics\, and Authoritarianism
DESCRIPTION:Christine Bacareza Balance presents ongoing research and writing from her book project\, Making Sense of Martial Law.\n\n\nProf. Christine Balance\, the 2024 CUNY Thomas Tam Visiting Professor at the CUNY Graduate Center\, will present ongoing research and writing from her book project\, Making Sense of Martial Law. In it\, she studies what the diverse and contradictory poetics of Philippine martial law (1972-1986) perform and reveal about authoritarianism and cultural memory\, as illustrated by both U.S.- and Philippines-based performances and productions. Making Sense of Martial Law also aims to illuminate important facets of the relationship between art and politics in dictatorships across the globe. \nBalance will offer a short presentation addressing the book’s main arguments\, themes\, and structure\, and her research & writing process\, as a way to open up discussion with others working in the fields of performance studies\, cultural studies\, transnational American studies\, Filipino/Filipino American studies\, and Southeast Asian studies\, as well as those interested in bridging critical & creative writing\, scholarly & public humanities projects.

But the deeper she digs into the trauma that has shaped her\, the more that trauma threatens to tear Deedee and Jay apart. Together\, these two must decide if the pain they’ve both inherited has the power to choose their fate\, or if they have the power to choose for themselves. \n \nAbout the author\nClare Osongco is a biracial Filipina American author who likes to write about diaspora feelings and complicated relationships.

SUMMARY:Paperback Launch: Same Bed Different Dreams by Ed Park in conversation with Ava Chin
DESCRIPTION:Join Yu & Me Books at New Design High School to celebrate the paperback launch of Same Bed Different Dreams with author\, Ed Park!  In conversation with Ava Chin \nABOUT THE BOOK \nA wild\, sweeping novel that imagines an alternate secret history of Korea and the traces it leaves on the present—loaded with assassins and mad poets\, RPGs and slasher films\, pop bands and the perils of social media \nOne of the New York Times’ 100 Notable Books of the Year • One of Publishers Weekly Ten Best Books of the Year • Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize \nIn 1919\, far-flung patriots establish the Korean Provisional Government to protest the Japanese occupation of their country. This government-in-exile proves mostly symbolic\, though\, and after Japan’s defeat in World War II\, the KPG dissolves and civil war erupts\, resulting in the tragic North-South split that remains today. \nBut what if the KPG still existed—now working toward a unified Korea\, secretly pulling levers to further its aims? Same Bed Different Dreams weaves together three distinct narrative voices with an archive of mysterious images\, and twists reality like a kaleidoscope. Korean history\, American pop culture\, and our tech-fraught lives come together in this extraordinary and unforgettable novel. \nSoon Sheen\, a former writer now employed by the tech behemoth GLOAT\, comes into possession of an unfinished book seemingly authored by the KPG. The manuscript is a riveting revisionist history\, connecting famous names and obscure bit players to the KPG’s grand project—everyone from Syngman Rhee and architect-poet Yi Sang to Jack London and Marilyn Monroe. M*A*S*H is in here\, too\, as are the Moonies and a history of violence extending from the assassination of President McKinley to the Reagan-era downing of a passenger plane that puts the world on the brink of war. \nFrom the acclaimed author of Personal Days\, Same Bed Different Dreams is a raucously funny feat of imagination and a thrilling meld of history and fiction that pulls readers into another dimension—one in which utopia is possible. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nEd Park is the author of the novel Personal Days. He was a founding editor of The Believer\, the literary editor of The Village Voice\, and an editor at Penguin Press. His stories and articles have appeared in The New Yorker\, Bookforum\, The New York Review of Books\, and Harper’s. He wrote a science-fiction column for the Los Angeles Times and a comics column for The New York Times. He lives in Manhattan with his family. \nin conversation with \nAva Chin is the author of Eating Wildly\, winner of the Les Dames d’Escoffier International M.F.K. Fisher Book Prize. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, the Los Angeles Times\, The Village Voice\, and Saveur. She is the recipient of grants and fellowships from the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center\, the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program\, New York Foundation for the Arts\, New York Institute for the Humanities\, and the Asian American Writers’ Workshop.
