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:Privileged but Powerless: How North Korean Elite Grievances Reveal the Regime’s Greatest Weakness
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with Dr. Jieun Baek\, author of “Privileged but Powerless: How North Korean Elite Grievances Reveal the Regime’s Greatest Weakness.” In conversation with policy director Jonathan Corrado\, Baek reveals a world of forbidden information\, simmering resentment\, and survival-driven masks\, based on hundreds of hours of interviews with high-level escapees. Baek argues that this performative loyalty\, born of fear and a desire to survive\, obscures a critical vulnerability within the regime’s core. In other words: the officials who seem most invested in preserving North Korea’s status quo may become its most dangerous disruptors\, not for ideological reasons but because of simmering resentment and vanishing alternatives.
