SUMMARY:Play - Chinese Republicans
DESCRIPTION:Coming to Roundabout this winter\, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Alex Lin\, directed by Chay Yew.  \nThree high-powered businesswomen meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs\, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie\, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce\, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best\, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.   \nShifting between sharp-tongued humor and the harsh realities of modern capitalism\, this world premiere production explores themes of assimilation\, intergenerational conflict\, and gender politics in the workplace—all with unflinching wit and empathy. Chinese Republicans is a new play from a thrilling new American voice\, and tells a truly American story.

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:Play - Jesa
DESCRIPTION:JESA by Jeena Yi\, directed by Mei Ann Teo\, is a riotous and heart-wrenching new play that explodes the idea of the “perfect family gathering.” When four estranged Korean American sisters reunite in Orange County to perform their father’s Jesa—a traditional ritual honoring the dead—old wounds erupt\, secrets surface\, and ghosts (literal and emotional) refuse to stay buried. With razor-sharp dialogue\, explosive humor\, and unexpected tenderness\, JESA asks how we honor our ancestors when we can barely stand each other. Come for the sibling brawls and burning shrimp\, stay for the aching truth of what binds us.

SUMMARY:Hiroaki Umeda: assimilating and Moving State 1
DESCRIPTION:Hiroaki Umeda’s choreography and eye for digital design have been celebrated throughout Europe\, Asia\, South America and the U.S. Critically acclaimed for his almost impossibly fluid movement style bordering on street dance – subtle\, radical\, and provocative – his dance pieces frequently synthesize ultramodern video\, dramatic lighting and crackling soundscapes as interlocking components interacting with moving bodies on stage. Now\, this slick avant-garde mastermind returns to Japan Society with a double bill of his latest cutting-edge projects from Tokyo. Moving State 1\, performed by four protege female dancers from Umeda’s Somatic Field Project who have fully absorbed his sleek\, oiled movements and assimilating\, Umeda’s signature solo performance\, operate within a dance aesthetic where refined physicality merges with cyberart.

SUMMARY:Beyond Headlines: The Human Story of Americans in China  An Official Book Launch and Conversation with Author William Brown
DESCRIPTION:Behind the headlines and geopolitics lies a rarely heard story\, the lives of ordinary Americans who became part of China’s history. \nFor decades\, Professor William Brown traveled more than 200\,000 kilometers across China and the United States to uncover letters\, photographs\, and memories of Americans who lived in China across generations — teachers\, doctors\, diplomats\, pilots\, and families whose ties endured long after they returned home. Their experiences reveal friendships and shared struggles that shaped mutual understanding far more deeply than official policy ever could. \nThese Americans helped establish early hospitals and schools\, advanced education for women and students with disabilities\, opposed the opium trade\, and supported China’s sovereignty during an era of imperial competition. During World War II\, the American volunteer pilots known as the Flying Tigers fought alongside Chinese forces against Japan\, a legacy still commemorated in China today. \nThrough vivid journeys across deserts\, villages\, and modern cities\, the book shows history as lived experience: people meeting\, learning\, and sometimes staying for a lifetime. \nThis year marks the 100th anniversary of China Institute\, founded to promote U.S.–China exchange through education and human connection. We invite you to join this conversation with the author\, hear these remarkable stories firsthand\, and explore how personal encounters continue to shape understanding between the two nations today.

SUMMARY:MOCA TALKS with Dr. Richard A. Pegg – Unpacking the Chinese Blue Maps: Heaven and Earth in the Early 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:Presented during Asia Week New York\, MOCA invites you to an insightful presentation by Dr. Richard A. Pegg\, Director and Curator of Asian Art at the MacLean Collection and curator of MOCA’s special exhibition Heaven & Earth: The Blue Maps of China (on view through March 29\, 2026). The presentation will be followed by a guided Q&A in the gallery. \nIn the early decades of the nineteenth century\, China stood at a moment of profound transition\, negotiating its geopolitical position as both an ancient civilization and an emerging modern nation-state. It was during this period that two remarkable series of large-format maps—one terrestrial and one celestial—were printed in the city of Suzhou. These maps articulate Chinese conceptions of the relationship between earthly and cosmic space and offer rare insight into how scholars and artists understood and represented the world around them. \nServing as the closing program of Heaven & Earth\, this talk explores the artistic\, historical\, and cultural significance of the blue maps\, situating them within the broader global history of mapmaking. Don’t miss this final opportunity to experience this special exhibition before it closes on Sunday\, March 29!

SUMMARY:Siyan Wang: Mother Warriors (Artist Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Siyan Wong’s paintings depict immigrant Chinese women working in garment factories\, restaurants\, homecare\, and street vendors. Inspired by the immigrant dreams of a better life and the reality of survival in a dehumanizing economy\, Wong notes that her paintings\, “make the lives of Chinese women\, and the working poor\, visible while directing the viewers’ gaze to their body and soul as they toil.” A self-taught artist\, Wong’s outsider painting style\, replete with decorative patterning\, shallow pictorial space and panning compositions\, offer a closely observed\, non-filtered\, cinematic view of the unrelenting struggles\, yet earnest fortitude of her subjects. \nIn collaboration with New York Artists Equity (NYAE)\, Siyan also presents two simultaneous exhibits exploring the immigrant experience: \n“Familiar Stranger” featuring artworks by Luisa Henao\, Ying Hung\, Sharon Cheuk Wun Lee\, Elim Mak\, and Mary Ting. \n“Immigration in America” featuring artworks by NYC high school students \nExhibition Dates: 3/12/26 – 4/11/26\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, March 12th\, 6 – 8pm\nArtist Talk: Saturday March 21st\, 3 – 5pm

SUMMARY:Korea in Transition: Late 19th-Century Art in the Peabody Essex Museum Collection
DESCRIPTION:Peabody Essex Museum’s Korean art collection\, comprising nearly 2\,000 works\, offers a distinctive lens on late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Korea—a period marked by reform\, global encounter\, and artistic transition. Anchored by objects from the first Korean diplomatic delegation to the United States in 1883 and Korea’s participation in the 1893 Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition\, the collection reveals how late Joseon art responded to shifting political realities\, foreign contact\, and emerging modern sensibilities. Initiated under Director Edward Sylvester Morse and enriched through donations by early travelers between Korea and the United States\, including the new PEM Korean gallery’s namesake Yu Kil-Chun\, the collection tells intertwined stories of continuity and transition.  \nJiyeon Kim\, Curator of Korean Art and Culture at PEM\, will explore how the late 19th-century Joseon adapted courtly traditions and responded to new popular demands\, while also considering the global interactions and human connections forged across the ocean at a pivotal moment in Korean history.

SUMMARY:Mass Surveillance and the ICE Crackdown: What the AAPI Community Needs to Know
DESCRIPTION:Masked\, heavily armed federal agents are roaming through American neighborhoods aggressively targeting anyone they feel does not belong\, often using race and ethnicity as a factor to determine who is selected for arrest\, detention\, and deportation. News reports indicate that Immigration agents are using advanced technological tools and electronic surveillance authorities to create and exploit vast intelligence databases to further the Trump administration’s mass deportation policy.  Adding urgency to these concerns\, Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act — one of the government’s most powerful surveillance tools — is set to expire on April 20\, 2026\, and the outcome of its reauthorization will have profound implications for the civil liberties of all Americans.

SUMMARY:Trey Trahan: Bridging Cultures\, Building Community
DESCRIPTION:Featuring acclaimed architect Trey Trahan In-Person. \nNew Orleans-based architecture firm Trahan Architects is known for their rooted approach to architecture—expressing the unique cultural\, historical and ecological characteristics of the places they build. During frequent visits to Japan\, Founder & CEO Trey Trahan\, FAIA\, has developed a passion and deep reverence for Japanese art and culture. Throughout his visits\, he’s also discovered the numerous parallels between the shared ecologies of his native state of Louisiana and Japan that have permeated his firm’s approach to architecture. He and his firm have been celebrated for their depth of research\, dedication to craft\, sensitivity to the landscape and innovative material applications—all heavily influenced by Japanese traditions.  \nWhen he was invited to interview for the design of the U.S.A. Pavilion at Expo 2025 in Osaka\, it was a dream come true. Having amassed a large collection of Japanese artifacts and artwork and developed many personal friendships over the years\, his enthusiasm and connections won his firm the commission. Throughout the Expo’s six-month tenure\, the U.S.A. Pavilion was consistently one of the most popular—drawing average crowds of 10\,000 people per day and welcoming the world to experience the wonders of the United States of America through the narrative aesthetic lens of its host country.  \nTonight\, Trey will guide us through how his relationship with Japanese sensibilities—embracing chance\, focusing on materiality and exercising a quiet restraint—helped guide his firm’s design for the U.S.A. Pavilion and continues to resonate in their work.

SUMMARY:Passing the Torch: Succession Planning for Community Media
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Amy Kovac-Ashley\, Executive Directory\, Tiny News Collective \nSuccession planning is one of the most overlooked yet critical challenges facing community and ethnic media today. In an era of shrinking local news coverage and growing news deserts\, the lack of a clear plan for leadership transition can threaten the survival of entire news outlets. When publishers or newsroom leaders retire or pass away without a succession plan\, communities risk losing vital sources of information altogether.

SUMMARY:5th Annual CUNY LGBTQI+ Student Conference
DESCRIPTION:This year’s theme\, Beyond the Rainbow: Centering Marginalized Voices in the LGBTQI+ Community\, invites us to look past surface-level representation and visibility to engage in deeper\, more meaningful dialogue about equity\, inclusion\, and intersectionality within our community. While the rainbow flag symbolizes unity and pride\, it also challenges us to recognize that not all experiences within the LGBTQI+ spectrum are equally seen or valued. \nBeyond the Rainbow encourages participants to explore the diverse identities and lived experiences that shape our collective story\, including those of transgender and nonbinary individuals\, queer people of color\, people with disabilities\, immigrants\, and others whose voices are often pushed to the margins. Through workshops\, panels\, and storytelling\, we aim to amplify these perspectives\, spark honest conversations\, and strengthen solidarity across differences.

SUMMARY:2026 Asian Americans and STEM Conference: Science in a De-globalizing World
DESCRIPTION:Led by a cross-disciplinary team from Asian American Studies\, Physics\, and Computer Science\, this project examines the contradictory position of Asian American scientists as both celebrated “model minorities” and perceived security threats. By integrating humanities-driven inquiry with scientific history\, the initiative uncovers how U.S. and European imperialism\, racial exclusion\, and global geopolitics have shaped the experiences of these researchers. The work seeks to reclaim the narratives of Asian American scientists\, moving them from passive objects of study to recognized agents of discovery whose contributions have often been erased or obfuscated in standard histories. \nBuilding on an inaugural 2024 conference at Yale that drew over 100 participants\, the project is expanding its reach through a second one-day symposium in collaboration with NYU and CUNY. These events foster critical dialogue on racialization and professionalization within STEM fields across the 20th and 21st centuries. The upcoming symposium continues this mission of addressing the lack of recognition for Asian American technical workers and is open to all individuals interested in the intersection of race\, history\, and scientific production.
