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:Aisha Fukushima's Mostly Water - Reading & Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reading and reception to celebrate Aisha Fukushima’s new book\, Mostly Water. Presented by the Yuri Kochiyama Solidarity Project\, in collaboration with the Rare Book & Manuscript Library (RBML) at Columbia University. \nMostly Water is a poetry collection born from years of navigating social norms that fail to capture what it means to be mixed. Drawing on her lived experiences as a Black and Japanese person growing up between the U.S. and Japan\, Aisha Fukushima explores what it means to live from mixed roots. Moving through her grandmother’s kitchen\, hair salons\, and post-WWII Afro-Japanese histories\, Fukushima challenges narrow frameworks around racial belonging. Here\, abundance replace the racialized math of halves and quarters. From micro-aggressions to quiet prayers\, each stanza is a lyric within a larger freedom song. \nThese poems are an opening — an offering for anyone who has ever searched for language spacious enough to hold who they truly are. We are\, after all\, mostly water — fluid\, uncontainable\, beyond measure

SUMMARY:Unlearning Patterns & Reclaiming Choice Self Awareness Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Many of us grew up learning to be everything for everyone — the good daughter\, the high achiever\, the one who never complained. We absorbed patterns\, beliefs\, and expectations that were never ours to begin with. And somewhere along the way\, we lost the thread back to ourselves.

SUMMARY:Power Building for Racial Equity (PRE) Virtual 6/11/2026
DESCRIPTION:This workshop focuses on the role of power when addressing systemic racism and advancing racial justice. Systemic racism is a system of power–hierarchical\, coercive\, and oppressive power–based on race. Racial justice\, to be achieved and sustained\, also requires power–inclusive\, collective\, and liberatory power. As we do the work of racial justice\, power plays a critical role and needs to be explicitly examined and deliberately transformed. When power is ignored\, unjust patterns of power can be unintentionally replicated. This workshop provides an opportunity for reflection\, sharing tips and tools\, and exploring ways to transform power in your racial justice work\, whether internal-facing (within your organization) and/or external-facing (with your community or the broader society). \nRacial and social justice activists\, organizers\, and educators are seeking more frameworks and tools for deepening their work.

SUMMARY:Labor\, Cultural Work\, and More Ways to Organize the City
DESCRIPTION:This conversation draws crucial connections between cultural work and labor organizing in working-class communities across New York City. Bringing together organizers\, artists\, and community members\, the event traces how struggles over labor and land are deeply intertwined—from tenants organizing against evictions in Chinatown to campaigns resisting casino development in Flushing\, and movements to decriminalize sex work—we ask: are there other ways to organize the city? What forms of solidarity are necessary to build communities rooted in care? By placing past and present organizing in dialogue\, this program invites us to consider what forms of organizing are needed in this moment\, and how we build toward more sustainable futures for Chinatown residents and all working-class communities. \nWhether you’ve been part of W.O.W. since the beginning or are just getting to know the work\, we welcome you to join us for an evening of reflection\, celebration\, and community.
