SUMMARY:YELLOW: An Artistic Space Centering Asian Voices
DESCRIPTION:Come find refuge in a space that celebrates & centers Asians! \n“In the West\, yellow’s unsavory status went back centuries…The color grew to represent envy\, jealousy…duplicity…and cowardice. \nYellow was a contemptible color in the Western imagination\, and it fit snugly with the Western idea of the Oriental human being\, especially as he became a threat first to the American workingman\, then to the chaste American woman\, and finally to Western civilization itself. \n– Excerpts from “Big Little Man” by Alex Tizon \nFor Asians\, yellow represents soil & earth\, life\, resistance\, courage\, rebirth\, revolution\, & unity.We are reclaiming and rewriting all narratives that undermine the richness and complexity of Asian individuals\, cultures\, traditions\, & longing. Join us in amplifying and celebrating Asian heritage with song\, dance\, poetry\, performance\, & discourse. \nFor a peek into the power & creativity of some of our Asian artists\, delight in our gift bags from CommemorASIAN: Shame is Not Ours to Keep (2024) & Yellow CommemorASIAN (2025)! \nThere is no need to sign up to perform. Anyone can perform as long as they are amplifying Asian voices\, artists\, initiatives\, & experiences. A list of Asian artists will be shared for participants to peruse their work and share whatever resonates with them – of course\, you are welcome to add to our list! Each VOICE will have the floor for 5 minutes. \nCreating a safer space for everyone is our priority. We do not tolerate any discrimination\, including but not limited to racism\, sexism\, queerphobia\, islamophobia\, antisemitism\, ableism\, xenophobia\, and sanism. \nWe demand a free Congo\, Nepal\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, Tibet\, Turtle Island\, Ukraine\, Yemen; and freedom for all countries\, peoples\, and species that face colonization\, erasure\, and oppression. If you do not align with our ethos\, then this space is not for you. \nOtherwise\, we’ll see you on the last Sunday of the month (with some exceptions)!

SUMMARY:Webinar: Programming First: How Nonprofits Can Make Smarter Space Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Your organization’s programming should drive your space decisions\, not the other way around. Join Denham Wolf for an expert-led discussion tailored to nonprofit leaders navigating program changes\, space acquisition\, or long-term planning. This session will introduce a practical framework for understanding space through three critical perspectives: physical\, financial\, and organizational. \nTogether\, we’ll explore the process of converting program needs into actionable space strategies-whether that’s leasing\, purchasing\, or reconfiguring existing space-while being mindful of budget and gathering consensus among decision-makers. Real estate can be a powerful tool for essential work\, but not every space will serve your mission. Using real-world examples\, our experts will show you how to keep your mission at the center of every real estate decision. \nIn this session\, you will: \n\nDiscover how to translate programs into physical space\n\n\nUnderstand space influencing programming vs. programming influencing space\n\n\nExplore our programming change checklist to assess your space requirements\n\nWho should attend: \nExecutive directors\, operations leaders\, and board members of nonprofit organizations planning space changes\, programming shifts\, or acquisitions. \nWhy attend: \nThis session will equip you with the knowledge needed to make informed real estate decisions that serve your mission\, programs\, and communities.

SUMMARY:Ran Hwang | Noble Blossoms
DESCRIPTION:In her solo exhibition\, Ran Hwang presents large-scale installations that are both intricate and poetic\, delicate yet dramatic\, as they explore the cyclical patterns of life and the fleeting nature of beauty.  \nHwang creates her art through a meticulous and repetitive process\, utilizing everyday materials such as paper buttons and pins. This requires intense concentration and discipline\, reflecting the meditative state of Zen masters and the spiritual values traditionally sought by scholars of the past. While painstaking and labor intensive\, the process also embodies an aesthetic of transcending difficulty\, ultimately visualizing a serene beauty and noble spirit that defines the artist’s unique perspective. Through her work\, Hwang evokes a sense of tranquility\, inviting the viewer into an experience that seeks fulfillment and peace.

SUMMARY:Insun Park & Generals
DESCRIPTION:Insun Park & Generals is a groundbreaking fusion of rock\, Korean traditional music\, and mask dance rhythms. Leading the quartet is Insun Park\, a master of the Gangnyeong Mask Dance\, a traditional Korean dance. Park blends her dynamic vocal and dance performances with the talents of her fellow band members: Donghyuk Heo (composer/guitar)\, Hyunmo Yang (drums)\, Johyun Kim (taepyeongso/flute)\, and Hahyungki Baek (bass guitar). The result is a blend of ancestral art and contemporary sound that merges traditional rhythms with modern rock influences.   \nBy pushing creative boundaries and offering a fresh perspective on Korea’s cultural heritage\, Insun Park & Generals celebrates traditional mask dance with contemporary audiences.   \nPark has distinguished herself as one of the few female masters of the Gangnyeong Mask Dance\, a tradition historically dominated by men. Renowned for her innovative spirit\, she reimagines age-old songs and performance styles to connect with modern audiences and is a leading force in shaping the future of Korean traditional performing arts.  \n“[Park] is a master of playful mask dancing\, transforming the traditionally group-based genre of mask dance into a captivating one-woman performance.”—The Korea Herald  \nFor more information and to purchase tickets\, please visit: https://www.flushingtownhall.org/show-details/insun-park-generals-korea
