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.

SUMMARY:Performance - The Table
DESCRIPTION:The Table is a new work of performance that explores insatiability\, grief\, and the body within larger systems. Through immersive\, visceral meditations and a fever dream-like performance language—combining movement\, puppetry\, and everyday objects—the work opens liminal\, shifting worlds where anything can become a portal. Rooted in Pink Fang’s legacy of socially engaged\, interdisciplinary performance\, the work centers collective experience\, relational exchange\, and the body as a site of inquiry. Both poetic and unsettling\, it examines the forces that drive desire and dissatisfaction\, asking a central question: What is enough?

SUMMARY:Daniel Squadron with Zohran Mamdani: The Fourth Branch
DESCRIPTION:In his new book\, The Fourth Branch\, Daniel Squadron—co-founder of The States Project\, an initiative that organizes support for state legislatures\, and former New York State Senator—argues that the real site of change\, and the greatest opportunity for impact\, lies closer to home. The Fourth Branch explores the role that state legislatures play in shaping everyday life\, and the roles that we can play in impacting our state legislatures. For nearly every major issue—from climate change and minimum wage to reproductive rights—there are crucial actions that citizens can take to make lasting\, concrete change. \nIn conversation with Mayor Zohran Mamdani\, Squadron discusses the power of state government and how to participate meaningfully in American democracy today.
