SUMMARY:Rising Up to Serve: Leveraging Bar Associations for Community-Centered Lawyering
DESCRIPTION:This panel examines how attorneys and advocates—particularly through bar associations like AABANY—can serve as a critical bridge between legal professionals and the unique legal needs faced by AANHPI and immigrant communities in New York City. Drawing on experiences across immigration\, housing\, employment\, and community advocacy\, the program will explore how attorneys can leverage AABANY and allied bar associations to engage in community-centered lawyering\, respond to emerging issues through coordinated advocacy\, and build partnerships with grassroots organizations. The panel will highlight practical strategies for using bar association participation\, not only for professional development but also as a vehicle for collective action\, leadership development\, and meaningful community impact. \nThe program will include practical frameworks\, real-world scenarios\, and actionable strategies that attorneys can apply in their own practices.

SUMMARY:Race and Space: How Laws Create and Impact Asian Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Since its origins\, America has existed as a racially segregated country. For most of its history\, the law has been used to create and enforce this segregation. With the Reconstruction era’s 13th\, 14th\, and 15th Amendments\, or as historian Eric Foner calls it\, the “second founding\,” the U.S. abolished slavery\, granted citizenship\, and enshrined equality before the law\, at least in principle. And yet\, in fundamental ways\, we still live in a racially segregated country and city. Today\, many Asian New Yorkers shop\, eat\, worship\, reside\, or learn in spaces where they are surrounded by others who look like them. \nThis panel explores several distinct spaces where Asian New Yorkers gather and examines how laws and policies have defined\, developed\, policed\, and shaped these Asian spaces. Featured locations include massage parlors or spas\, New York City’s multiple Chinatowns\, takeout restaurants\, and specialized public high schools. Panelists will discuss how different areas of law such as education law\, criminal law\, immigration law\, and zoning laws impact these places.

SUMMARY:Play - The Cherry Orchard
DESCRIPTION:Considered one of the great plays of the modern era\, Anton Chekhov’s final play about a family on the edge of ruin is radically reimagined by acclaimed director and dramatist Simon Stone\, who returns to the Armory following his blistering Obie-Award winning take on Federico García Lorca’s Yerma (2018). His refreshing adaptation resets the action from Russia to a rapidly transforming modern-day Seoul\, South Korea\, where the original noble siblings are now corporate heirs struggling to adapt to a world that has moved on without them\, suffocated by a rising middle class and wealthy self-made entrepreneurs. Caught between the past and the present\, hope and despair\, tradition and innovation\, the chaebol family is forced to grapple with the inevitable forces of change.

SUMMARY:Aesthetic Intelligence: Building a New Generation of Global Brands
DESCRIPTION:In an era of rapid technological change and economic uncertainty\, a company’s identity has become one of its most valuable strategic assets.

SUMMARY:NapRyang: Midnight Scream in NY - My Daughter is a Zombie
DESCRIPTION:Director: Pil Gam-Sung \nSynopsis: “My daughter is a zombie—the last remaining zombie in the world.” \nJung-hwan\, a zookeeper who specializes in caring for fierce wild animals\, spends his days bickering with his teenage daughter Su-a\, an aspiring dancer with boundless passion. \nWhen Su-a becomes infected with a zombie virus that has spread across the globe\, Jung-hwan takes her to Eunbong-ri\, a quiet seaside village where his mother\, Bamsoon\, lives\, determined to protect her at all costs. \nAs society grows increasingly intent on identifying and isolating the infected\, Jung-hwan begins to notice signs that Su-a may still retain part of her humanity. She seems to understand human speech\, responds to the dance she once loved\, and even reacts to the sting of her grandmother Bamsoon’s trusty backscratcher. \nRefusing to give up on his daughter\, Jung-hwan draws on his years of experience as a tiger keeper and embarks on an unconventional mission: training his zombie daughter in the hope of bringing her back to herself.
