SUMMARY:Koryo-saram and its Manifold Afterlives
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of exchanges emerging from the exhibition “To time\, to distance” curated by Tamara Khasanova and Junho Peter Yoon.\n\n\nAAAinA is proud to share an evening of presentations and conversations emerging from the group exhibition\, To time\, to distance\, featuring artists Alisa Berger\, Daria Kim\, Luiza Pârvu\, and Toma Peiu. The exhibition highlights reflections by these artists on their belonging to and relationship with Koryo-saram communities (Корё-сарам\, 고려사람). Within the global Korean diaspora\, Koryo-saram occupies a distinct position as an identity formed in the aftermath of the forcible deportation of Koreans living in the Russian Far East to Central Asia in the 1930s. \nStarting with the history of Koryo-saram\, the program frames diaspora as a site of ongoing negotiations\, frictions and innovations. With research-based presentations\, field notes\, and artist talks\, the evening will reflect on how legacies of forced migration unfold across space and time\, challenging the issue of continuity. These ideas are explored not as static or linear trajectories\, but as kinetic conditions that continually reshape one’s relation to self and collective belonging. Following presentations by writer and curator Sophia Park and artists Alisa Berger\, Daria Kim\, and Toma Peiu\, the artists will join for a conversation moderated by Park. \nTo time\, to distance is co-curated by Tamara Khasanova and Junho Peter Yoon and will be on view at AHL Foundation from March 26 – April 25\, 2026. For more information and viewing hours\, please visit ahlfoundation.org. \nBios: \nAlisa Berger was born in 1987 in Makhachkala\, Republic of Dagestan\, and raised in Lviv\, Ukraine and later Essen\, Germany.

She is part of the curatorial collaboration slow cook with Caroline Taylor Shehan and takes care of gummi reading\, a mobile reading and study space. She holds a B.A. in Neuroscience from Oberlin College and an M.A. in Curatorial Practice from the School of Visual Arts. \nLuiza Pârvu and Toma Peiu produce film\, installation and scholarship. Their work looks at memory\, migrant imaginaries\, post-socialist transformation and environmental precarity\, centering livelihoods on the fringes of society\, and seeking to trace present-day reverberations of histories from the past. Their work has been presented in venues worldwide\, including film festivals\, galleries\, classrooms\, and community centers. Pârvu and Peiu have produced several installations informed by ethnographic research and documentary work in Central Asia or Eurasian diasporas in the US\, including Caution: Once Upon a Time\, a River / Once Upon a Time\, a Sea (2025)\, 7 Scenes from a Neighborhood Cafe (2018)\, Migrant Water (2018) and The Sea Was Here (2019); and are currently in post-production with their feature documentary film How Come We Ended Up Here?\, a 16mm poetic journey across post-pandemic New York City\, led by an oral history of the Korean Central Asian diaspora.

SUMMARY:Always more to say
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation on Experimental Performance Art from Vietnam!\n\n\nOn Thursday\, 11/13\, collaborators Lumi Tan\, Anh Vo\, Đỗ Tường Linh and maura nguyễn donohue will discuss the research and conversations that have led to the development of their upcoming projects\, focusing on experimental performance art from Vietnam. In particular\, the group will share stories\, findings\, and images from their January 2025 trip to Hanoi and Saigon which informed an evolving discourse around the conditions of contemporary performance art in these two cities and beyond. \nAlways more to say kicks off a broader series of events\, including an editorial project with Movement Research and a series of programs with Performance Space New York. Movement Research Performance Journal Issue #62\, to be published in early 2026\, will be dedicated to experimental Vietnamese performance art\, with reflections from over fifteen artists and curators. The collaboration with Performance Space\, titled We Exist in the Ambivalence of those Motherfuckers\, will be held between January 18 – February 9\, 2026\, and features a residency and series of new performance works by Vietnamese artists. \nBios: \nLumi Tan is a curator and writer based in New York City. She is the curator for the 2026 Converge 45 city-wide exhibition in Portland\, Oregon\, and a curator for Focus at Frieze New York.

Their practice mobilizes the naked body in its variations to make explicit the entanglement of power and apparitional forces that cut across flesh. Their work is situated in the unlikely lineage convergences between Downtown New York experimental performance\, Hanoi performance art\, and Vietnamese folk ritual practices. Vo is indebted to Miguel Gutierrez’s unapologetic queerness and amorphous excess\, Moriah Evan’s speculative commitment to the depth of interiority\, Tehching Hsieh’s existential sense of time\, and Ngoc Dai’s guttural sonic landscape of postwar Vietnam. Their formal training is in Performance Studies\, studying with esteemed theorists and practitioners at Brown University (BA) and New York University (MA). \nmaura nguyễn donohue is Chair of Dance and Director of MFA at Hunter College and has been making work and facilitating\, curating\, producing\, and leading public conversations in the US\, Asia\, and Europe for over 30 years.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: From Letters to Words to Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Building Collective Language with Radical Characters and Pararailing\n\n\nOn October 10th at 6:30 pm\, AAAinA will feature presentations and a discussion with arts collectives Radical Characters and Pararailing. Founding members of each group will share recent and upcoming projects as well as the origins and ethos of their platforms. Presentations will follow a loose framework of thinking through larger themes via connection points between letters\, characters\, words\, and dialogue. Following the presentations\, participants will join together for a conversation to discuss independent publishing\, creative translation(s)\, cross cultural dialogue and more. The panel will be moderated by designer\, publisher\, and educator\, Scarlett Meng. \nBios: \nRadical Characters is an educational and curatorial platform dedicated to exploring speculative connections between design and culture within and beyond the Chinese and Chinese American communities. Founded by Mary Y. Yang and Zhongkai Li in 2021\, the collective focuses on graphic design\, typography\, and culture through 汉字 Hanzi (Chinese characters). Each project is informed by a Chinese character and extends into the forms of exhibitions\, publications\, lectures\, and workshops. Yang is an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at Boston University and Li is a Visiting Professor at Pratt Institute. Their current exhibition\, Tone in Tongue\, explores East Asian visual culture through the lens of graphic design\, typography\, and independent publishing\, tracing how shared histories and distinct\, aesthetic identities continue to resonate in contemporary design. \nPararailing was founded by three artists—Jie Shao\, Sixing Xu\, and Snow Xuecan Ye—in 2020. It existed as an artist-run space in Shanghai from 2020 to 2021\, where they organized exhibitions and the 14-day artist residency series “Guerrilla War.” Their ongoing project Railing Codex\, which started in 2022\, is a collectively written dictionary that redefines nothing more ordinary—and yet utterly unknowable—than words. Initially launched as an online project\, it has expanded into other forms over the past few years\, including installation\, community printshop\, workshop\, and most recently\, an artists’ book in the form of a slanted dictionary published by Page Bureau\, with design by RELATED DEPARTMENT. \nPara- comes from ancient Greek and means “alongside\, beyond; altered; contrary; irregular\, abnormal.” Railing\, according to Wikipedia\, is in general\, a boundary feature. \nScarlett Meng is a designer\, publisher\, and educator working between New York and Shanghai. She founded RELATED DEPARTMENT in 2017 and Page Bureau in 2018\, with a research focus on the shifting contexts of digital landscape and post-colonialism for design practice and criticism. Scarlett has received recognition from Tokyo TDC\, Core77 Design Awards\, TDC New York\, Shannon Michael Cane Award\, Paris Photo-Aperture PhotoBook Awards\, and has exhibited and lectured internationally at numerous art and academic institutions. Scarlett teaches at Parsons School of Design as Adjunct Faculty and at SIVA as Adjunct Associate Professor\, and has served as guest critic at University of Pennsylvania\, The University of Hong Kong\, and Boston University. \nLight refreshments will be provided. \nAAAinA’s general programming and operations are funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts\, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council\, the Vilcek Foundation\, and other foundations and individuals.

SUMMARY:Summer Open House organized with Small Editions - Artist books and ziness
DESCRIPTION:Join us with Small Editions\, lucky risograph\, Superbloom*\, and Calipso Press to learn more about artist books and zines!\n\n\nAAAinA is thrilled to announce our summer open house collaboration with Small Editions. This event will feature short presentations by the following independent presses: Small Editions\, lucky risograph\, Superbloom*\, and Calipso Press. Each of the selected independent presses approaches publishing at varying scales and utilizes a variety of print and production methods to realize their projects. Please join us to learn more about these exciting artist books and zine makers and engage with their recently published materials. \nFood is first come\, first served\, and features vegan ice cream by @ijsmaaker! RSVPs are required. Doors will open at 4pm with presentations from 5-6pm. \nParticipant bios: \nSmall Editions is a graphic design studio\, print consultant\, and artist book publisher led by Hannah Yukiko Pierce and Isobel Chiang. Our studio also hosts educational events and workshops on print and publishing-related topics throughout the year. \nOur work aims to center the book as a form of art\, rather than a vehicle for art. Projects begin from a thoughtful engagement with source content\, and are informed by our ongoing research and experimentation in print\, materiality\, and fabrication. \nSmall Editions’ books are held in publicly accessible collections at The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Museum of Modern Art\, The Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Brooklyn Museum\, The Walker Art Center\, Harvard University\, Yale University\, RISD\, and MICA\, among others. \nSuperblooom* (stylized with three o’s and an asterisk) is a Vietnamese multimedia collective of Vietnamese-Americans helping to foster a dialogue on the Vietnamese/Asian diaspora and the Global South through photography\, text\, mixed media\, and design. Through this collective\, we are cutting through the media\, the noise\, the lies\, the myths\, and adding to the conversation of Southeast Asian artistry. We are here to connect\, create\, and inspire a superblooom. \nCalipso Press is a risograph studio\, publishing platform\, and artistic collective founded by Eva Parra and Camilo Otero. Established in 2015 in Cali\, Colombia and currently based between Cali and New York\, Calipso explores publishing as a site for research\, collaboration\, and critical imagination. \nCalipso’s practice centers on the book as a space for experimentation and conversation\, treating printed matter not only as a format but as a methodology. From 2015 to 2022\, Calipso hosted a residency program dedicated to expanded publishing and print-based inquiry\, welcoming artists\, writers\, and researchers to develop projects that blur the boundaries between disciplines\, formats\, and geographies. \nCalipso Press has participated in international art book fairs including the New York Art Book Fair\, UNFOLD Shanghai\, Libros Mutantes Madrid\, and Rrreplica México\, and has curated contemporary art and publishing projects such as Post-Digital Mimeography (Colombia Biennial\, 2016)\, No Room for Books (Brazil\, 2017)\, and soft revolution (Madrid\, 2014). \nLucky Risograph is an Asian and Hispanic-owned print press and design studio based in DUMBO\, Brooklyn. Since our establishment in 2019\, we have continued incorporating the eco-conscious\, accessible\,and affordable nature of risograph printing into our everyday practice. \nLight refreshments will be provided. \nAAAinA’s general programming and operations are funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts\, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council\, the Vilcek Foundation\, and other foundations and individuals.

SUMMARY:Publishing as Trans* and Asian / Diasporic Practice
DESCRIPTION:A Conversation and Call for Pitches with Jeannine Tang and Wong Binghao (Bing)\n\n\nOn May 22\, Jeannine Tang and Wong Binghao (Bing) will have a hybrid conversation at Asia Art Archive in America to share and reflect upon their ongoing project focusing on trans* and Asian/diasporic publishing practices in contemporary art. This program will reflect upon their experiences organizing conversations for the project and speculate on publishing futures related to the project. They invite audiences to contribute to these discussions. Tang and Wong will speak during the first half of the program\, and open the floor to the audience for the second half. \nAnyone attending in-person is welcome to take the mic and share their work. Please prepare a 1-2 minute introduction to a publishing project\, with a hot take on how/why it materializes and matters to you and your (imagined) community. Speakers are welcome to bring a publication to illustrate their points. Like the participants of the larger project\, speakers are invited to imagine ‘publishing’ expansively. This could include (not exhaustively): one off or serial projects\, print or digital or online publication\, self-published or institutional endeavors\, books\, zines\, magazines\, journals\, work on/through social media\, websites\, and more. \nBetween 2023-2024\, Tang and Wong convened internal online conversations with artists\, writers\, editors and curators to discuss and complicate how trans*gender\, Asian\, and diasporic experiences might inform publishing practices in contemporary art. These conversations were organized in collaboration with Asia Art Archive in America\, with the support of The New School and New York University. This summer\, Asia Art Archive in America will publish an online publication edited by Tang and Wong that extends these dialogues and features contributions by some of the conversation participants. \nThis collaborative event is hosted by Asia Art Archive in America and co-organized with NYU’s Department of Performance Studies. \n \nParticipant bios: \nJeannine Tang is an art historian who teaches as Assistant Professor in the Department of Performance Studies at the Tisch School of the Arts\, NYU. \nWong Binghao (Bing) is a writer\, editor\, and curator. They are the editorial and creative director of 5G Bing\, an internet grimoire. \n \nLight refreshments will be provided. \nAAAinA’s general programming and operations are funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts\, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in Partnership with the City Council\, the Vilcek Foundation\, and other foundations and individuals.
