SUMMARY:Play - Chinese Republicans
DESCRIPTION:Coming to Roundabout this winter\, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Alex Lin\, directed by Chay Yew.  \nThree high-powered businesswomen meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs\, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie\, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce\, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best\, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.   \nShifting between sharp-tongued humor and the harsh realities of modern capitalism\, this world premiere production explores themes of assimilation\, intergenerational conflict\, and gender politics in the workplace—all with unflinching wit and empathy. Chinese Republicans is a new play from a thrilling new American voice\, and tells a truly American story.

SUMMARY:Exhibition - LEGENDS: Athleticism in Asian/American Art
DESCRIPTION:LEGENDS: Athleticism in Asian/American Art explores the intersection of art and sports through the work of contemporary Asian and Asian American artists. While often considered distinct fields\, this exhibition highlights how sport and artistic expression serve as interconnected arenas. Featuring artists and collectives across a wide range of artistic media\, LEGENDS examines how artists of Asian descent engage with the shared language of art and sport to reflect identity\, nationalism\, the body\, and performance.  \nThe first exhibition to specifically focus on the relationship between art and sports within contemporary Asian and Asian American art\, LEGENDS will debut works by The Chinatown Basketball Club\, Kaarina Chu Mackenzie\, and Astria Suparak.

SUMMARY:Putting the ‘Rec’ Back in NYC Parks and Recreation
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, NYC Parks was known as the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation\, and recreation once accounted for nearly one-third of the agency’s budget. Today\, most New Yorkers think of the agency primarily as steward of the city’s public parks\, while recreation represents barely 5 percent of its expense budget—and years of underinvestment have left the system struggling to realize its full potential\, with fewer programs than before the pandemic\, staffing shortages\, and aging rec centers\, field houses\, pools\, and athletic facilities in need of major upgrades and expansion to meet demand. With New Yorkers spending more time indoors and struggling with health challenges—from obesity to social isolation—it may be time to put the Rec back in Parks & Rec.

SUMMARY:Learning Lab: Narrative Change for Racial Equity
DESCRIPTION:The stories we tell\, the perceptions that take root in our minds\, and the clichés we repeat all play a significant role in shaping our worldviews and\, ultimately\, the policies\, practices and systems we support. Together\, we can have the narrative power to imagine and bring forth a just\, multiracial democracy where we all have what we need to ensure our families and neighbors thrive. \nOver the past 60 years\, there has been a coordinated\, well-resourced effort by people and organizations\, who desire to maintain power and wealth for a few\, to popularize a set of harmful narratives that foster fear and division\, limit democracy\, and institutionalize racial inequities. In recent years\, we have witnessed attacks on our bodies\, attacks on diversity\, equity\, and inclusion efforts in schools and workplaces\, and attacks on our human\, civil\, and political rights. But\, these attacks do not have to determine our fate; we can live in a society where we\, along with our neighbors and government institutions\, make collective policy decisions\, co-create programs to meet community needs\, and ensure public policies and programs are implemented effectively and fairly. \nTo make our vision of a just\, multiracial democracy a reality\, we must seed and spread new narratives that show what is possible when we join together to end systemic racism and create a better future for all. We do this\, together\, by reaching millions of different people\, over time\, across many voices\, and across a variety of mediums. \nThis is what we call “narrative change”.

SUMMARY:William Pao and Nobel Laureate Harold Varmus Fireside Chat
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Yale Life Sciences Alumni Association | Association of Asian American Yale Alumni |Harvard Asian American Alumni Alliance\n\n\n\nBreakthrough\, by William Pao\, MD\, PhD \n‘A must read.’ Siddhartha Mukherjee\, bestselling author of The Emperor of All Maladies \nWhat does it take to create a new medicine? The trajectory from laboratory to your neighbourhood pharmacy rarely runs smooth. Drug hunting demands radical leaps of imagination\, the expertise of many… and a hefty dollop of luck. Unsurprisingly\, ‘eureka’ moments come few and far between – but\, when they do\, they change lives. \nCharting the discovery of eight revolutionary drugs\, Dr William Pao cuts to the innovative heart of biomedical research and celebrates the tireless work of the scientists\, doctors\, patients and families fighting for better medical care. For each of these medicines\, whether a potentially life-saving new treatment for cancer\, or something as commonplace as paracetamol\, there stands a cast of characters and a wealth of stories. Documenting these fascinating journeys\, Breakthrough grants a privileged\, behind-the-scenes look at the medicines that improve – and very often save – our lives. \nForeword by Nobel Prize-Winner Harold Varmus

SUMMARY:Serica Storytellers: Japanese Tanka Poets
DESCRIPTION:In honor of the Japanese Day of Remembrance on February 19\, Serica Storytellers presents an intimate virtual conversation on “By the Shore of Lake Michigan”\, the award-winning translation of a 1960 collection of Japanese tanka poetry written by Tomiko and Ryokuyō Matsumoto — a first-generation (Issei) Japanese American couple forcibly incarcerated at the Heart Mountain prison camp during World War II and later resettled in Chicago. Translated and edited by the poets’ granddaughter and a team of scholars\, this collection represents a rare first-generation point of view. Through the tanka form — one of the oldest styles of Japanese poetry — the Matsumotos document 17 years of upheaval\, displacement\, grief\, resilience\, and rebuilding in the shadow of incarceration. This Serica Storytellers event brings together the book’s editor\, translators\, and contributing scholar to discuss Japanese-language writing from WWII\, the cultural significance of tanka\, and the work of recovering erased histories for future generations.
