SUMMARY:Gish Jen with Weike Wang: Bad Bad Girl
DESCRIPTION:Gish Jen’s latest novel\, Bad Bad Girl\, began as a memoir of her late mother\, Loo Shu-hsin\, before evolving into a fictionalized portrait of their turbulent mother-daughter relationship. As a child Shu-hsin learns how little her life is valued as a woman in 1930s Shanghai and is constantly reprimanded\, “Bad bad girl! You don’t know how to talk!” Years later\, struggling to keep her own family together as an expat in America\, she finds herself incanting the same refrain to her own strong-willed\, outspoken daughter. Spanning continents\, generations\, and cultures\, Bad Bad Girl weaves fragments of memory with careful invention to create an intimate portrait of the complex bonds between mothers and daughters. \nGish Jen discusses her new book with author Weike Wang.

SUMMARY:Short Films: Ancestral Computation
DESCRIPTION:Join us at e-flux Screening Room on Tuesday\, October 21 at 7pm for the screening program Ancestral Computation\, followed by a discussion between artist Nouf Aljowaysir and curator Mashinka Firunts Hakopian. The program is co-presented with ArteEast. \nAncestral Computation assembles works that counter the epistemes of Western technoscience\, from across the SWANA region and its diasporic time-spaces. These works call forth ancestral intelligences\, inheriting forms of worldmaking surfaced from the lacunae of omissive datasets and archives of dispossession. They traverse algorithmic dream divination; develop tools for upending classificatory protocols; evade technologies of capture; and conjure precolonial deities through radio transmissions. They invoke alternate temporalities\, rejecting the consignment of non-Western technologies to the dustbins of media history.

SUMMARY:Disciples of the Pear Garden*: NYC Cantonese Opera Histories
DESCRIPTION:Cantonese opera has been part of New York’s story for more than 170 years. Beginning in the 1850s\, touring troupes performed in Chinatowns across the United States from San Francisco to Chicago\, New York\, and even Spokane (plus smaller cities in between). In 1853\, the 40-member Tong Hook Tong opera company appeared at New York’s Niblo’s Garden\, one of Manhattan’s grand theaters. By 1890\, Chinatown’s Doyers Street had its own dedicated opera house\, founded by cultural activist Wong Chin Foo. These performances helped build community through music\, theater\, and tradition that continues to resonate today. \nThis special evening brings that legacy to life: \n\nDr. Nancy Yunhwa Rao shares highlights from her acclaimed new book Inside Chinese Theater: Community and Artistry in 19th Century California and Beyond.\nCelebrated theater artist Ping Chong and his sister Betty Chong share stories of their family’s arrival in the 1930s as members of a Cantonese opera troupe from Canada and performing in New York.\nCantonese opera performer Mee Mee Chin shows vintage costumes from her collection and performs some classic opera songs.

SUMMARY:Screening - The Paradox of Seabrook Farms: Shattered Dreams\, Restored Hopes
DESCRIPTION:The moving and complex story of Seabrook Farms in New Jersey where 2\,500 Japanese Americans worked and settled after being released from World War II Incarceration Camps. There they were joined by people of around 21 other nationalities including Eastern European refugees fleeing persecution and African Americans escaping the Jim Crow laws in the Deep South\, to form an interwoven global community. Both men and women worked grueling rotating 7 day shifts at what was the largest frozen food processing farm and factory in the United States in the mid-20th Century. Despite all the hardships they still found ways to keep and celebrate their cultural traditions\, share them with members of the larger community\, and give their children a happy childhood despite the injustices they had suffered through. It is a story of immigrants and migrant workers overcoming hardship and exploitation\, which continues to this present day.\n\n\n \nThis free film screening will be followed by a Q&A and a reception with food and refreshments.\n \nThe panel will include: the film’s director Helga Merits\, John Seabrook (Grandson of Seabrook Farms founder Charles F. Seabrook)\, plus Helle Gawrylewski and Theodora “Teddy” Yoshikami whose families worked and lived at Seabrook Farms when they were children. The discussion will be moderated by George Hirose (from JAA-NY\, JACL-NY & ZAJA).\n\n\n \nPlease RSVP to george.hirose@gmail.com by October 25th\, 2025 with “RSVP Seabrook” in the subject line.
