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:Play - JESA (Final Performances)
DESCRIPTION:JESA by Jeena Yi\, directed by Mei Ann Teo\, is a riotous and heart-wrenching new play that explodes the idea of the “perfect family gathering.” When four estranged Korean American sisters reunite in Orange County to perform their father’s Jesa—a traditional ritual honoring the dead—old wounds erupt\, secrets surface\, and ghosts (literal and emotional) refuse to stay buried. With razor-sharp dialogue\, explosive humor\, and unexpected tenderness\, JESA asks how we honor our ancestors when we can barely stand each other. Come for the sibling brawls and burning shrimp\, stay for the aching truth of what binds us.  \nEnjoy $10 off all performances with discount code: MAYIJESA

SUMMARY:International Symposium: Bridging Worlds: The Art and Artistry of Mei Lanfang
DESCRIPTION:This international symposium delves into the rich artistic universe of Mei Lanfang\, taking the exhibition Dancing Goddess: Mei Lanfang in America as a point of departure. Through a series of focused presentations\, speakers will examine the defining elements of Mei’s artistic practice\, from the codified symbolism of the orchid hand gestures to the performances of Rainbow Pass across four countries\, using case studies in cultural dislocation and aesthetic translation. \nEmbracing the inherently cross-disciplinary nature of Mei’s practice\, the program brings together five scholars from various fields\, including art history\, theater studies\, philosophy\, and media theory. Their presentations will collectively illuminate how Mei’s work functioned not only as the pinnacle of Chinese theater but also as a dynamic site of cross-cultural encounter. By bringing these broader inquiries into dialogue\, the symposium invites scholars\, students\, and the public to reflect on the enduring legacy of an oeuvre that continues to defy categorization.
