SUMMARY:Changing Cultures: Zhen Guo\, A Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:The Mishkin Gallery at Baruch College is proud to present Changing Cultures: Zhen Guo\, A Retrospective\, the first major New York survey of artist Zhen Guo (b. 1955\, Shandong Province\, China). \nThe works on display span nearly sixty years\, from Zhen Guo’s first embroidery (Chairman Mao\, 1966) to her large-scale papier-mâché and sewn fabric breast sculptures and handmade tufted tapestries of 2012-2025. 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. The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated brochure with a new essay on Guo by curator Gail Levin. \nZhen Guo Video Works\, 2011-2022 \nThursday\, May 7\, 2026 | 5:30PM to 6:30PM\n \nA special 50-minute program screening original video works consisting of: \n\n\nZhen Guo\, Timeline of Movement\, 2011 (5:44) –  In her debut video art\, Guo contrasts Western and Asian approaches to health through tranquil T’ai Chi and vigorous group exercise\, illustrating their distinct yet engaging qualities.\nCleansing Moon\, 2018 (7:24) –  Gentle exploration of women’s renewal connects life\, femininity\, and the cosmos through the refreshing imagery of water.

SUMMARY:Segmented markets\, chokepoints\, and the limits of liberalisation: Rethinking the Philippine rice economy
DESCRIPTION:Despite being a nation of rice eaters\, the Philippines’ smallholder rice economy remains structurally fragile. This talk asks why a country with a long history of rice crises continues to struggle to sustain domestic production\, and advances two related claims. \nFirst\, importation has long served as the Philippine state’s principal instrument for managing rice crises\, but this recurrent reliance has displaced rather than resolved the challenge of sustaining domestic production reform. \nSecond\, this pattern cannot be understood by assuming a unified national rice market. The Philippine rice economy is better seen as a segmented field in which traders\, millers\, creditors\, and other intermediaries control chokepoints that shape price formation\, timing of sale\, and the distribution of value. Dominant policy approaches have framed rice competitiveness too narrowly: they identify low yields\, high production costs\, and high gross marketing margins\, but leave insufficient room for analysing the relations that systematically weaken farmers’ bargaining position in the market. Supporting rural well-being requires more than improved seeds or machines; it requires policy attention to mobility\, bargaining power\, reciprocity\, and the social infrastructures of hanapbuhay.
