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:Lunch & Learn: The DeGrasse Family
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Prithi Kanakamedala as she reconstructs the 19th-century lives of the DeGrasse family! \n\n\n\n\nJoin the NYC Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS) each month for our virtual Lunch & Learn Series – an intimate conversation with agency staff and special guests focusing on the collections of the Municipal Archives and Library and the history of New York City. \nOn May 14th\, in commemoration of AANHPI Heritage Month\, Dr. Prithi Kanakamedala will reconstruct the life of the nineteenth-century DeGrasse family who had roots in India\, Africa\, the Caribbean\, and the U.S. (with a cameo appearance from Aaron Burr). \nQuintessential New Yorkers — multiracial\, multiethnic\, and multilingual — George DeGrasse and his family were committed to a vision of a more just city for all. Join us as Dr. Kanakamedala explores the possibility that the DeGrasse family represented an early Indo-Caribbean presence in New York and how their stories complicate our understanding of the city’s past.

SUMMARY:Asian Americans & the Fight for Education: Featuring Author Marie Chan
