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:Theater: Cymbeline
DESCRIPTION:The National Asian American Theatre Company (NAATCO) will present an all-femme\, all-Asian American production of Cymbeline in New York City in January–February 2025. Cymbeline is one of Shakespeare’s final plays and is about the British king Cymbeline and his daughter\, Imogen. The production features a modern verse translation by Andrea Thome that brings the play’s language into the present. The director\, Brown-Fried chose an all-femme cast to examine gender identity\, performance\, masculine toxicity\, sexual politics\, and power.  \nIn a world shattered by tyranny and poisoned by misogyny\, Cymbeline tells the story of a young woman’s flight from despair to heroism as she rediscovers her lost siblings and brings order to a kingdom ruled by chaos. Performed by an ensemble of eleven women\, Cymbeline is a story of hope and rebirth in the unlikeliest of circumstances. \nCast: Amy Hill as Cymbeline\, Purva Bedi\, Annie Fang\, Anna Ishida\, Narea Kang\, Jennifer Lim\, KK Moggie\, Maria-Christina Oliveras\, Julyana Soelistyo\, Sarah Suzuki\, and Jeena Yi. \nCreative team: Stephen Brown-Fried as director\, Ant Ma as scenic designer\, Mariko Ohigashi as costume designer\, Yiyuan Li as lighting designer\, and Caroline Eng as sound designer.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: We Are Chinatown: By Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya
DESCRIPTION:Created by artist Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya during her civic practice residency with Poster House\, in partnership with Welcome to Chinatown\, and presented by Pearl River Mart\, “We Are Chinatown: A Portrait Of Our Community Rising Through Labor And Love” is an intimate offering that presents a rich and multifaceted portrait of a neighborhood continuously evolving while deeply rooted in its history and cultural heritage. At the heart of the show is a large\, dynamic tapestry — a cascading collage of images\, memories\, poetry\, and threads that stretch across the gallery space\, symbolizing the interconnectedness of Chinatown’s past\, present\, and future. Complementing this work are sculptures\, each a reflection of the neighborhood’s textures\, objects\, and symbols. Reminders of the everyday resilience that sustains Chinatown. \nThis body of work also features a public art campaign of intergenerational portraits\, capturing the diverse faces of the community that will appear around the neighborhood. These portraits were created through intimate conversations with residents in their homes\, restaurants\, and shops\, preserving their personal histories and offering a window into the neighborhood’s enduring vitality. The portraits transcend individual likenesses\, instead capturing the shared experiences\, aspirations\, and challenges that define Chinatown as a living\, breathing space. \n“Amanda’s public work moved me at the darkest times during the pandemic\,” says Pearl River Mart President Joanne Kwong. “I was driving around the city for hours\, making deliveries for online orders\, checking on employees\, and donating PPE to hospitals. Seeing her bold and colorful work around the city gave me strength and a jolt of happiness and purpose\, and for that I am so thankful. “Now to be able to exhibit her work in our gallery is a privilege and an honor. Amanda is outspoken and daring as an artist. And this show\, though a bittersweet reminder of that difficult time\, is also joyous and hopeful in its celebration of the resilience of Chinatown.”

SUMMARY:Leading with Love: Reframing Conflict & Accountability
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a teach-in about how conflict can transform our relationships and communities for the better.\n\n\nLeading with Love: Reframing Conflict & Accountability \nConflict is everywhere\, yet many of us are adverse to confronting it. Join us for a teach-in about how conflict can transform our relationships and communities for the better. \nThis session utilizes the teachings of Dr. King’s philosophy of Nonviolence and Dr. Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication. \nAbout Kingian Nonviolence (KNV): \nKNV is the philosophy and strategy that Dr. King utilized in organizing the Civil Rights movements. Since his passing\, many of his close friends and allies took to teaching and passing down this philosophy. \nAbout Nonviolent Communication (NVC): \nNVC is a language and tool developed by the late Dr. Marshall Rosenberg to answer the question: “why do people hurt each other”? It’s a communication framework that can help us resolve conflicts in a positive way. \nParticipants should come to the session with a conflict they’d like to explore\, and ideally\, that they would want to share. Sharing is encouraged\, but not required. \nOur Instructor \nGeorge Dou (he/him) is an educator and conflict resolution trainer\, and a double-alumnus of North Carolina State University\, where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Masters of Education. He received certification in Kingian Nonviolence training from the University of Rhode Island. \nHis current work revolves around supporting college students of underrepresented and historically marginalized backgrounds.

His compositions cannot be narrowed down to one genre\, but combine influences of film music\, baroque\, pop and hiphop. \nIskandar is strongly committed to educational projects for children in the Asian Pacific region\, typically in collaboration with UNICEF or the WWF.  Supported by KOMPAS Gramedia\, Indonesia’s biggest media group\, and the “besharp foundation” he organizes charity events to finance musical instruments and instruction for orphans\, street-\, and schoolchildren. His personality and energy are aptly summed up by the string players’ house magazine The Strad\, in the following words: “Iskandar Widjaja\, a true force of nature.” He plays the “Stephens” 1690 Stradivari and an 1875 JB Vuillaume. \nThis event is organized by the Dvorak American Heritage Association with support of the Bohemian Benevolent and Literary Association.
