Mapping AAPI New York: The Localized History Project Showcase

Friday, May 22, 2026 | 6pm to 9pm

CUNY Graduate Center
365 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan

RSVP ($30 Fee): www.eventbrite.com

Join the youth researchers of the Asian American / Asian Research Institute’s Localized History Project for a dynamic showcase of history, storytelling, and collectivity. Over the past year, our cohort (ages 16–22) has conducted deep-dive oral history and archival research. Now, they are opening their “living archives” to the community. Educators, activists, and friends are all welcome!

Interactive, “science-fair” style exhibition:

  • Interactive Research Booths where you can talk directly with the historians.
  • Creative Stations for zine-making and communal artwork.
  • Live Storytelling sessions that bring oral histories to life.

Schedule:

  • 6:00 PM: Doors Open / Open Gallery & Interactive Stations
  • 7:30 PM: Featured Keynote Address
