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:Communicating with Care\, Clarity\, & Compliance to Protect Your Organization
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith less than 140 days until National Voter Registration Day\, many organizations are asking an important question: Is it still safe and worth it to engage our communities in voter registration? The answer is YES\, and it matters more than ever. \nJoin us for this timely webinar and panel discussion featuring trusted cultural organizations\, including the National Urban Indian Family Coalition\, Arab American Institute\, and Poder Latinx.

SUMMARY:Suddenly Stateside: Postscript Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:About the book: \n\n\n\n\nMarivi Soliven’s deeply felt chronicle of immigration\, identity\, and reinvention. Thirty years after leaving Manila for marriage\, graduate student life\, and the uncertainties of America\, Marivi Soliven returns with Suddenly Stateside: Postscript—a sharp and funny memoir that spans surviving Martial Law to navigating the INS\, from learning the dark arts of American housekeeping in Berkeley to the indignities of public restrooms\, flashers\, driving tests\, and a pet rat named Janet\, Soliven captures the bewilderment\, humor\, and wonder of building a life an ocean away from home. \nExpanded with new essays and postscripts\, this collection confronts the long shadows of authoritarianism\, the contradictions of belonging to two countries\, and the messy\, marvelous business of starting over. Unsparing\, subversive\, and irresistibly engaging\, Suddenly Stateside: Postscript affirms the immigrant imagination in all its resilience and hilarity. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the author: \nMarivi Soliven has authored 17 books\, including The Mango Bride\, which won the grand prize at the 2011 Palanca Awards\, the Philippine counterpart of the Pulitzer Prize. “Pandemic Bread\,” her nonfiction personal essay about interpreting for end-of-life calls during the Covid pandemic\, was adapted to an award-winning short film. “Pandemic Bread” has been screened at 11 film festivals across the country as well as in Mexico and London. Apart from writing\, Marivi helps fellow immigrants manage their medical\, legal and financial issues in her day job as a phone interpreter.\n \nSponsors: \nSulo: The Philippine Studies Initiative at NYU\nWagner Office of International Programs\nNew York Southeast Asia Network
