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: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:Author Talk: Amanda Lee Koe with Zoë Chao: Sister Snake
DESCRIPTION:Writer Amanda Lee Koe joins us to discuss her new book\, Sister Snake\, with Actress Zoë Chao. \nA glittering\, bold\, darkly funny novel about two sisters—one in New York\, one in Singapore—who are bound by an ancient secret \nSisterhood is difficult for Su and Emerald. Su leads a sheltered\, moneyed life as the picture-perfect wife of a conservative politician in Singapore. Emerald is a nihilistic sugar baby in New York\, living from whim to whim and using her charms to make ends meet. But they share a secret: once\, they were snakes\, basking under a full moon in Tang dynasty China. \nA thousand years later\, their mysterious history is the only thing still binding them together. When Emerald experiences a violent encounter in Central Park and Su boards the next flight to New York\, the two reach a tenuous reconciliation for the first time in decades. Su convinces Emerald to move to Singapore so she can keep an eye on her—but she soon begins to worry that Emerald’s irrepressible behavior will out them both\, in a sparkling\, affluent city where everything runs like clockwork and any deviation from the norm is automatically suspect. \nRazor-sharp\, hilarious\, and raw in emotion\, Sister Snake explores chosen family\, queerness\, passing\, and the struggle against conformity. Reimagining the Chinese folktale “The Legend of the White Snake\,” this is a novel about being seen for who you are—and\, ultimately\, how to live free. \nAt this event\, Amanda Lee Koe will discuss her new book with Zoë Chao \nTo join the event in person | Doors will open 30 minutes before the program begins. For free events\, we generally overbook to ensure a full house. Priority will be given to those who have registered in advance\, but registration does not guarantee admission. All registered seats are released shortly before start time\, and seats may become available at that time. A standby line will form 30 minutes before the program. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nAmanda Lee Koe was born and raised in Singapore and has lived in New York\, Beijing\, Berlin and Bangkok. Her debut novel\, Delayed Rays of a Star (Doubleday\, 2019) was named a Most Anticipated Title by ELLE\, Los Angeles Times\, Thrillist\, and USA Today\, and one of NPR’s Best Books of The Year. Amanda has received fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts\, PEN America\, the University of Iowa’s International Writing Program\, the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program\, the National Arts Council of Singapore\, and the Fóndation Jan Michalski.

SUMMARY:MOCA Video: Day With(out) Art 2024: Red Reminds Me...
DESCRIPTION:Day With(out) Art is a global event\, screening in over 150 institutions and 27 countries. MOCA is proud to partner this year.\n\n\nContinuing the LGBTQ AANHPI Program Series\, the Museum of Chinese in America is proud to partner with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2024 by presenting Red Reminds Me…\, a program of seven videos reflecting the emotional spectrum of living with HIV today. \nRed Reminds Me… will feature newly commissioned videos by Gian Cruz (Philippines)\, Milko Delgado (Panama)\, Imani Maryahm Harrington (USA)\, David Oscar Harvey (USA)\, Mariana Iacono and Juan De La Mar (Argentina/Colombia)\, Nixie (Belgium)\, Vasilios Papapitsios (USA). \nThrough the red ribbon and other visuals\, HIV and AIDS has been long associated with the color red and its connotations—blood\, pain\, tragedy\, and anger. Red Reminds Me… invites viewers to consider a complex range of images and feelings surrounding HIV\, from eroticism and intimacy\, mothering and kinship\, luck and chance\, memory and haunting. The commissioned artists deploy parody\, melodrama\, theater\, irony\, and horror to build a new vocabulary for representing HIV today. \nThe title is drawn from the words of Stacy Jennings\, an activist\, poet\, and long-term survivor with HIV\, who writes: “Red reminds me\, red reminds me\, red reminds me…to be free.”* Linking “red” to freedom\, Jennings flips the usual connotations of the color and offers a new way of thinking about the complexity of living with HIV. Just as a prism bends and refracts light\, Red Reminds Me…\, expands the emotional spectrum of living with HIV. It shows us that while grief\, tragedy\, and anger define parts of the epidemic\, the full picture contains deeper\, nuanced\, and sometimes contradictory feelings. \nVisual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue\, supporting HIV+ artists\, and preserving a legacy\, because AIDS is not over. \n*Jennings recites this poem in the video Here We Are: Voices of Black Women Who Live with HIV\, created by Davina “Dee” Conner and Karin Hayes for Day With(out) Art 2022: Being and Belonging. \n  \nVideo Synopses\nGian Cruz\, Dear Kwong Chi \nIn Dear Kwong Chi\, Cruz creates a video letter to the late artist Tseng Kwong Chi\, drawing from the experience of living with HIV in diaspora. Across continents and decades\, Kwong Chi’s legacy acts as an anchor for Cruz amongst limited representations of Asian narratives in AIDS histories. \nMilko Delgado\, El Club del SIDA \nTaking its title from a sensational telenovela episode\, El Club del SIDA cycles through a lifetime of heavily stigmatizing images about HIV and AIDS. Delgado plays with multiple aesthetics—documentary\, horror\, comedy—to explore the various relationships he has had with AIDS over the course of his life. \nImani Maryahm Harrington\, Realms Remix \nThrough a collage of poetry and archival images\, Realms Remix traces memories and sensations of an AIDS past that continue to haunt the present. \nDavid Oscar Harvey\, Ambivalence: On HIV & Luck \nAmbivalence: On HIV & Luck tackles the disorienting experience of existing with a manageable condition that our present culture insists on representing in terms of its bleak past. Interested in figuring HIV differently\, the film presents a series of visual puns merging the iconography of HIV and AIDS with popular symbols of luck. \nMariana Iacono and Juan De La Mar\, El VIH se enamoró de mi (HIV Fell in Love With Me) \nHIV Fell in Love With Me tells the story of a woman with HIV embracing her sexuality and reconnecting with her pleasure. Filmed with an erotic aesthetic\, the video reflects a pursuit towards sexual justice and autonomy for women living with HIV. \nNixie\, it’s giving \nThrough home videos\, archival footage and textile landscapes\, it’s giving explores various forms of family across time. The artist’s domestic life is paired with archival video of queer and trans chosen families mirroring small acts of joy\, resistance\, and sustenance. What does it mean for an HIV+ person\, who carries the history and present of the AIDS-crisis in their DNA\, to foster new life? \nVasilios Papapitsios\, LUCID NIGHTMARE \nPapapitsios describes LUCID NIGHTMARE as a “meditation on how we can(not) heal in the environments that make us sick\, from the perspective of an infected neurodivergent faggot.” Combining auto-fiction with magical realism\, Papapitsios humorously reimagines narratives around mental health and chronic illness. \nArtist Biographies\nGian Cruz (he/him) is a Filipino artist\, researcher\, and arts worker. His artistic practice is rooted in photography\, art theory\, and criticism and intersects with cinema\, performance\, and HIV/AIDS activism within Southeast Asian frameworks.

SUMMARY:But There Are New Suns: A Celebration of Poetry and Community
DESCRIPTION:Join AAWW and graduate students from Sarah Lawrence College to explore the ever-deepening connection between creative practice and community\n\n\nThe Asian American Writers’ Workshop is proud to host this special event\, which brings together graduate students from Sarah Lawrence College who have been exploring an ever-deepening connection between creative practice and community building. At the heart of their commitment to self-expression and engagement with the wider world\, each writer will share new poetry and illuminate outreach projects in-progress. Join us for an inspiring evening of art and action\, reflection and celebration. \n__ \nAditi Narayan hails from India by way of Dubai\, UAE. Her international upbringing has greatly influenced the meanderings in her writing\, as she continues to experiment with voice and push boundaries in her work. She gravitates toward storytelling that not only ponders the extraordinary in the ordinary\, but also explores the complexities and contradictions of what makes us human. While she is a second-year Fiction student in the MFA Writing program at Sarah Lawrence\, her writing wanders in the realms of poetry\, speculative fiction and creative nonfiction. When Aditi is not agonizing over her words (or procrastinating\, depending on how you look at it)\, she is either watching Only Murders in the Building (sparking her own true crime obsession)\, curating her – twenty-fifth? – Spotify playlist of angsty throwbacks\, or finding excuses to show pictures of her dogs. \nBriana Martin is a Bronx Native and first-generation college student. She is currently an MFA student in the Writing program at Sarah Lawrence College. In her free time\, Briana enjoys traveling\, working with plants\, taking naps\, and resting her mind\, body\, and soul. \nChanice Cruz is originally from Brooklyn\, NY but credits Richmond \,VA for introducing her to the slam poetry world and expanding a love for storytelling. She is currently an Open Mic coordinator at Kew & Willow Books in Queens NY and is the co-host for a Latin-x bookish podcast called The Poet and the Reader. Her poems have been published in several literary magazines. She is currently getting her MFA in Poetry at Sarah Lawrence. \nFatimahzahra Nusairee is a writer and photographer from Maryland.

She lives in New York City. \nJulia Kebuladze is a New Jersey native and drives like one. She has always enjoyed playing the violin\, dancing in various unprofessional forms\, eating meals made by her Ukrainian and Georgian grandmothers\, connecting with people / animals / places\, and writing about all of the above and beyond. At the University of Pittsburgh\, she studied writing & music in the city between three rivers she loves deeply\, and now lives in Manhattan as she pursues her MFA in Writing at Sarah Lawrence College. She is still most proud of winning “Best Delegate” at her eighth grade Model UN. \nLilyan LeaVesseur is a writer and artist from Chicago\, IL and Encinitas\, CA. She is currently pursuing an MFA in Writing at Sarah Lawrence College. \nMarisa Viola is pursuing her MFA in fiction at Sarah Lawrence College.
