The show explores an artist’s journey from China to New York; themes include an immigrant’s identity\, motherhood\, and the violence embedded in patriarchal cultures. Guo’s large-scale “muted landscape” paintings protest environmental injustice.

SUMMARY:Like A Wave We Break: An Inspiring Fireside Chat with Jane Chen
DESCRIPTION:Join us on May 19 for a powerful and intimate conversation with Jane Chen moderated by Karen Choi. In her best-selling memoir\, Like a Wave We Break\, Jane chronicles the rise of Embrace Global—the company she co-founded that has helped save over one million babies. When the organization nearly collapsed after a decade\, she was forced to confront how growing up amid domestic violence had shaped both her deep commitment to serving the most vulnerable—and the burnout and personal breakdown that followed.   \nTaking place during Mental Health Awareness Month and AANHPI Heritage Month\, the discussion will explore themes of mental health and cultural stigma often experienced within the AANHPI community\, resilience\, preventing burnout\, and what it means to rebuild after breaking. We hope you’ll join us for an honest and meaningful dialogue rooted in reflection\, healing\, and collective strength.

SUMMARY:The Illusion of Pastness: Hanbok on Screen
DESCRIPTION:Korean visual entertainment—including films\, K-dramas\, and K-pop music videos—is the result of highly sophisticated planning and production. These productions captivate a global audience by synthesizing music\, narrative\, and styling to deliver striking visual aesthetics and compelling emotional narratives. Costume is central to this production system\, and it plays an instrumental role in the aesthetic appeal and popularity of the media. For luxury brands\, K-drama serves as a powerful niche marketing platform\, while traditional dress (hanbok) is pivotal to nation branding. \nDress historian Dr. Minjee Kim will offer fresh insights into Korean period costume as a visual and narrative language closely aligned with the development of plot and storyline. She will demonstrate how period costumes produce the “illusion of pastness” rather than the past itself\, operating within a narrower range of sartorial possibilities\, thereby negotiating historical accuracy\, constructing stylized appearances\, and translating dynamically into contemporary aesthetics.
