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:Heart on Fire\, Brain on Ice: Philippine Nonfiction since 2000
DESCRIPTION:Direct and political in their aims\, these documentaries\, features and shorts mostly unreleased and unseen in the United States\, take a clear-eyed view of the Philippines’ most exploited—landless peasant farmers\, urban poor displaced by development\, generations of indigenous families affected by toxic waste left behind by U.S. military bases—as well as those among them who are agitated to resist. The filmmakers are often intimately if not directly affected by the repression they capture\, and the films are made by and with activists who have integrated with the communities they follow on the ground. Occasionally surreal\, sometimes absurd\, these films maintain a firm grip on the visceral reality that binds their struggles together.

SUMMARY:Make It 10 Cents! - Community Panel
DESCRIPTION:Canners are some of the city’s most essential environmental workers – almost single-handedly driving the success of New York’s most effective recycling program. It’s time to give them a raise. The\nBigger Better Bottle Bill is pending legislation that would double the redemption rate from 5 to 10 cents and expand the types of cans and bottles eligible for return. \nLocal experts discuss why passing this bill matters — and what’s at stake. \nPanel is part of artist Siyan Wong’s exhibition “Make It 10 Cents” on view at Welcome to Chinatown\, 115 Bowery\, until May 19\, 2026

SUMMARY:Civil Rights
DESCRIPTION:The incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII is the most horrific violation of the U.S. Constitution against APIDAs. The incarceration violated almost all of the amendments in the Bill of Rights\, as well as a few other Amendments. Almost the entire population of innocent Japanese Americans was incarcerated for over three years simply due to their heritage and ancestry. This workshop shows activities for students to learn how to analyze the Constitution through the lens of historic events\, such as the wartime incarceration.
